Overview<\/h2>\n

The status indicator (using icons) and the status tile (using colours) provide an immediate overview of a value, in relation to one or more limits. The status tile sometimes has a hyperlink to another page, trend or URL.<\/p>\n

Right-click Menu<\/h3>\n

Depending on what data your status indicator or tile has been configured to display for the actual value<\/em>, when you right-click the component, a variety of menu options will be presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Menu option<\/strong><\/td>\nDisplayed for<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Open Trend<\/a><\/td>\nTime series data. Opens a trend containing a trace of the data.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Open Detail<\/a><\/td>\nAttribute value or tag. Opens the Point Detail page of the data point.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Status Indicator<\/h2>\n

The Status Indicator uses different icons to indicate the state of a represented numerical value (Actual), in relation to configured numerical limits.<\/p>\n

Usually there are only two states, each represented by an icon. One state is for the actual value below or equal to a limit, the other for when actual is above the limit. Sometimes the status indicator is configured for a third state, based on a second limit.<\/p>\n

How the icons are interpreted depends on standards within your organisation, or there may be an accompanying key to decode their meaning.<\/p>\n

The context of the page or section containing the icons will also affect their interpretation. For example, a 'tick' usually means 'good'; depending on context, 'good' could means a higher value or a lower value.<\/p>\n

The table below shows examples of 2 States<\/em> status indicators that have been configured to use various different icons, dictated by standards. Note how the icons mean different things depending on the context of the values being evaluated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Values Driving the Status Indicator Icons<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you can interpret an icon in context, you will understand at a high level what is going on with the values. The actual comparisons that have been made, and the values behind the comparisons, are implemented by the page builder, and are not visible on the status indicator. (Actual<\/em> is compared to the limits from smallest to largest, or from largest to smallest, depending on the selected Direction; if the status indicator is configured to use the Percentage option, Actual<\/em> as a percentage of Target<\/em> is compared against percentage limits).<\/p>\n

For example, you should be able to tell at a glance that production has exceeded target for a particular well. You can usually find out more details for this particular well, for example if links have been provided. You can sometimes right-click on a status indicator to view a trend, or to view point details.<\/p>\n

In the example below, the status of THT for selected wells is shown. Where the actual temperature exceeds the theoretical limit, a red thermometer icon is shown.<\/p>\n

Status Tiles<\/h2>\n

The Status Tile is a plain rectangular shape which conveys four key pieces of information:<\/p>\n
