You can use this view to get a more detailed overview of your factory or quickly compare multiple stations in the same view. You can create from 2 up to 8 views on one screen, and a shortened URL (that you can copy while creating a grid) will make it easier to open it on other screens (such as a TV).

Grid View can be created by Office or administrative users, meaning that Shift View users can not create it.

How to create a grid view?

1. Open “Grid view” from the main menu

   

2. Select the grid you want to create

   

3. Specify the view for each spot in the grid:

   • Shift View - select the station, which Shift View you would like to see in the grid.
   • Dashboard - select the tab which should be shown in the grid.

   

4. Click “Open”

   • This opens the grid view in a new tab. You can use the scrollbars for each view spot if needed (for longer shifts or to select a specific set of tabs)

     

   • Now you are also given the short URL (see in the image below) you can use to show the same view in other devices and share it to operators. Copy it if needed and save the grid view as a bookmark on your browser, so you can access it anytime without needing to create a new one.

5. To close the grid creation modal, click “Cancel”

   

How to share the grid view to another user or device?

For example, some TV browsers do not allow opening new tabs, so the grid view can not be created on the TV itself. Another example is that Shift View users would need to use the grid view, but they can not create it themselves.

In these cases there is a workaround by using the URL:

1. Use an office or admin user account to create the needed grid view on a laptop for example.
2. Copy the grid view URL from the browser.
3. Share this URL
   • with another user (they can bookmark it). However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
     • make sure that the user has access to all the stations in the grid view.
     • if you share to a Shift View user, do not include any Dashboards in the grid view, just Shift views.
   • to another device (such as a TV)
     • open the browser on the device and paste the URL.
