Presentation of the Beholder interface

GettingStarted

This chapter presents the interface of the Beholder and the main principles of navigation within the digital twin. It describes the different areas of the screen, the way in which the equipment is represented and the visual codes used to reflect their condition. The objective is to allow a quick and intuitive first handling of the application.

Overview of the interface

The interface of the Beholder can be cut into Four distinct parts :

• The Digital twin in the center of the screen.
• The Equipment List and selecting a piece of equipment on the left.
• A Alarm Summary in progress or workflow states on the right.
• The Menu bar at the top, allowing you to filter devices or access the global menu and connection status with the Hub.

The digital twin

The main view of the app is a representation 3D of the digital twin, on which are displayed the equipment associated with their performance. Equipment can be linked to a graphic object (such as a door model) and/or to an equipment bubble (3D Widget). The user can interact with these elements and click on them in order to select the relevant equipment.

Visual codes and equipment statuses

By default, any 3D object (excluding zones) associated with a piece of equipment is highlighted by a Colouring which varies depending on the state of the latter (this behavior can be disabled by the scripting) :

Color	Equipment Status
Green	Healthy equipment
Red	Equipment with a defect
Grey	Disconnected equipment
Blue	Equipment under construction
Brown	Equipment being diagnosed
Purple	Equipment losing connection

Annotations in the Digital Twin

In addition, annotations (Post-its) can be added directly to the digital twin in order to add Additional information on the plan, not attached to a device.
