We recently updated our dashboard component and we’re excited to share with you some of our new features. You may have noticed a slight change in color scheme and look and feel, but we’ve also added many new features including full-screen dashboard, filter autocomplete, multi-point polygonal geospatial filters, and the long awaited CSV Export!

CSV Export

The underlying data in any visualization in a dashboard can now be exported. This is useful for raw data analysis, import into Excel, outlier detection, and more.

  1. Click the three square symbol in the top right corner next to any visualization. You may need to hover for a second.
Look for this three square symbol

2. Click the Inspect Option

3. Click Download CSV (Formatted Option)

Filter Autocomplete

Filters are now easier than ever to build with autocomplete.

Lets build a new filter by incident type

  1. Click add a filter
  2. Start typing ‘description.category’ — this should autocomplete
  3. Select ‘is’ as operator
  4. ‘FIRE, EMS, and OTHER’ will autocomplete for values — select as desired
Filter Auto-complete

Full-Screen Realtime Dashboards

You can now make any dashboard full-screen. This works great when used in combination with Auto-refresh intervals, which automatically refreshes the data periodically without human interaction. Some of our customers use this in station dashboards and other unattended displays.

  1. If using Auto-Refresh, click the Auto-Refresh button on the top of any dashboard and select an interval
  2. Click the Full screen button on the top of the dashboard

Polygon Geospatial Filters

Previously, the dashboard could only filter down to rectangles. You can now apply geospatial filters of any polygon, which works great when filtering down to response zones, station boundaries, and other geospatial areas of interest that are not rectangles.

  1. Click the hexagon symbol on any map
  2. Click once to start a point
  3. Drag and click again for every point necessary to form the polygon
  4. Click back on the starting point to close the polygon

We’re continuously improving, seeking feedback, and developing features requested by you!

Stay tuned to hear about our new accreditation tables, input controls, and more….
