Read the Comfort Monitor Dashboard
Comfort monitor dashboard provides insight in the historical data that is gathered by comfort devices that send data (can be on temperature, humidity, CO2, …) to Workplace platform. The question it tries to answer is: “Which insight/trend is communicated through the data?”
Historical data means that the visualized data in the dashboard was gathered until yesterday.

Filters & KPIs
Dashboards open with default, predefined filters in the top Filter selection. You can change or remove these filters, for example to zoom in one 1 particular week or 1 particular business day:
quick filter change: select the filter in the top Filter selection, the current selection will open in a drop-down menu: you can now select more or different values. Don’t forget to confirm your selection.
remove filter: select the X next to the relevant filter in the top Filter selection.
You can use the filter pane on the left to make selections on the fly, like zooming in on particular floor or category. Each selection shows as an extra filter button in the top Filter selection.
You can hit the “Reset View” button to return to the default bookmarks (landing page of the dashboard)
A selection in the dashboard or on a graph/timeline will influence filter settings on the whole dashboard (will be added to the top Filter selection):
On the floor plan, select any location (you can select multiple but only the first will be highlighted)
On any graph, select a data point / space category / location to select a specific data filter
if you want to select multiple locations on the floor plan: only the first one will light up
On any timeline, drag & drop (in the time description, not in the graph itself) to select a specific time period

Comfort Values visualized in dashboard
Logic behind visualization: Average temperature value for room X (if 2 comfort sensors are linked to that room) = (10 °C +20 °C) / 2 = 15 °C and this is how it will be exposed in the timeslots. Check out the scenarios/use cases concerning the visualization of comfort data on Live Floorplan and in Dashboards on Live floorplan settings-page.

Dashboard Tips & tricks
How to use whisker box graphs?
In 25% of measurements, there is data under the box
The box represents 50% of the measurements. They dont represent the highest, nor the lowest measurements
A long box means a big spread of data (low predictability)
In a perfect world, the box should be between the Spacewell suggested % in the dashboards
How to get the most out of trendline graphs?
You might only see a small portion of data in the graph compared to the whole selected period. You can recognize this by the highlighted part in the graph underneath.
To move forward or backward, simply scroll through the big graph or select a portion in the smaller one.
In the example below: the large graph is only showing us data on 2 days (looking at the peaks in the smaller graph: Tuesday and Wednesday) from the last week in our selected period.
To get the most out of the trendline, open the graph on full screen using the expand button
You’ll be able to identify the different moments in time better
You can switch between hourly, daily, weekly views
Bookmarks
You can now also save your filter selections by creating your own bookmarks
Make filter selection(s) and create a bookmark on that snapshot view Optionally you can save the sheet location in the bookmark (default: ON)
At any time during the same or a next dashboard session, you can click on the bookmark to return to your saved view
All bookmarks (default (public) and own) are available under the bookmark button
Your own bookmarks are shared between your colleague users of the dashboard
Bookmarks are particular to one dashboard (For example, bookmarks defined in Space Monitor will not be available in Comfort Monitor)

Qlik options Not supported by Spacewell | Download sheet as pdf | Instead of downloading a particular chart, also the full sheet content can be downloaded in a pdf report. Mind that only the sheet body (selected content resulting from filters) is downloaded, not the filter pane. Floor plans will not be part of the report, some chart data may also be missing. |
Embed sheet | Not supported. | |
Touch screen mode | By default all dashboards can be navigated from touch screens. This toggle allows to turn off touch screen mode, as there may be some UX/UI differences with the normal mode. | |
