The dashboard view is the most common screen seen in Periscope. The dashboard view is intuitive, responsive, and user-configurable. Dashboards can be setup to visualize any aspect of your building or an entire campus of buildings by utilizing a growing library of viewlets. Once in place, viewlets can be moved around and organized however you see fit. Just grab them and pull them around the screen. Viewlets can also be scaled so some are larger than others if for instance some charted data were more important than other data, simply grab the bottom right corner and drag to a desired size. Some viewlets can also be interacted with directly by either double clicking or alt-clicking their legend to show and hide specific trends or points. On mobile devices, the views will dynamically scale to fit the screen's proportions.

Adding Viewlets

 Selecting the plus button will open up the "Add Viewlet" window. Here you'll find descriptions of each viewlet that can be added to the dashboard view.
