Introduction
Business Overview brings clarity on your network performance
Thanks to the valuable input and feedback from our customers, we are excited to introduce a new way to present your essential information with Business Overview which allows you to see at a glance how your network is performing and to quickly take any necessary actions.
To enhance the user experience, each user is granted specific rights to access and explore the overview.
This means that, depending on the user rights, they have the ability to apply various filters to refine the information and obtain precise results.
With this first Beta version, we provides an overview about following data
- Energy consumption: the total energy consumed by the charge stations
- Occupancy rate: the percentage of occupancy of the charge stations
- Sessions: the total count of charging sessions
Additional datas, like revenues will be addded in next phases following the same dashboard architecture.
The data is displayed at tenant and CPO level, and it is aggregated based on user permissions. This help users to have a overview on the assets that the control.
Depending on the user rights, users have the ability to apply various filters to refine the information and obtain precise results.
- CPO: Users can filter the data based on the specific CPO (Charge Point Operator) they are interested in. User should be able to have access to the CPO to be able to filter data based on it
- Time period: Users can select a specific time frame to analyze the data, allowing for in-depth comparisons and trend analysis.
- Type: Users can categorize the charging sessions based on the type, whether it is for public, business, or home use.
- Power: Users can choose to filter the charging sessions based on the power source, whether it is AC (Alternating Current), DC (Direct Current), or both.
- State: Users have the option to filter the charging sessions based on their publication status, whether they are published or unpublished.
By offering these filter options, users can customize their experience and extract meaningful insights from the Business overview, empowering them to make informed decisions and optimize their charging operations.
Cards that provide the exact details you need
We have designed the new dashboard with a completely new card structure that is both elegant and intuitive to use. They show you what you need to know in a clear way, so you can take immediate action to resolve any performance issues. Besides, we have structured the dashboard in a smart way to provide you with respective information, based on your specific rights. For instance, an administrator from the Netherlands will only see Dutch locations and charging points. This gives you full control over your assets and allows you to act swiftly, if needed.
The dashboard consists of several clear cards:
High and Low cards show data about your assets based on the the top five best-performing and least-performing locations. These are sorted by energy consumption, occupancy rate, and session count
The Overview cards display complete data, based on the selected time period and filter. Within this overview, you can see a percentage that compares the current period to the same period in the past. For example, if you select ‘January 2024’, it provides a comparison with December 2023.
Graph cards show statistics based on the data from the selected period. You can click on a specified period in the graph to get the information for that timeframe.
User can apply different filters to display the data
To find exactly find what you are looking for, the dashboard comes with handy filters based on the following criteria:
Charge Point Operator (CPO): You can filter the data based on the specific CPO or locations you are interested in. You will only be able to access the CPOs you have permissions for.
Time period: You can select a specific time frame to analyse data, allowing for in-depth comparisons and trend analysis.
Type: You can categorise the charging sessions by type, whether it is for public, business, or home use.
Power: You can choose to filter the charging sessions based on the power source, whether it is AC (alternating current), DC (direct current), or both.
State: You have the option to filter the charging sessions based on their publication status, whether they are published or unpublished (meaning they are visible and findable on map views.
Data download
Once you find the correct filter settings, you can easily download the dataset to process it into further (internal) reporting tools.
Permissions
To improve the dashboard customisation, we added the option to grant access to group level.
By default, Admins and CPO Managers has access to the dashboard.
Admin users can now grant group users to access the dashboard by adding the "Dashboard:Read" to the user
Important: the group user should have access to all CPO data. If the user has only access to a location (e.g. custom group), then he won't be able to see the dashboard (yet)
