Using Data Dashboards

Data dashboards display visual representations called widgets. Widgets contain aggregate Oracle Utilities Opower program and customer data, usually in the form of a graph or table. This allows for quick consumption of high-level data. You can access Data Dashboards by clicking the Data tab. The following is a list of available data dashboards:

  • Dashboard: Provides data on energy efficiency programs and other miscellaneous customer details.
  • Peak Events Savings: Provides data on peak time energy savings and demand reduction.
  • Email Engagement: Provides data on customer engagement with Oracle Utilities Opower email communications.
  • Communications Dispatched: Provides the number of each type of communication dispatched each month.
  • Web: Provides data on customer digital engagement.

For more information about dashboards, see the Inside Opower Product Overview.

Rearranging Widgets on a Dashboard

You can change how widgets are arranged by opening a dashboard from the Data tab and selecting and clicking the widget you want to move. While you still have the widget selected, drag it to the desired location on the dashboard.

Interacting with Widgets

Each widget will have a graphical chart like a line or bar graph, a table, or a map.

  • Line and Bar Graph Widgets: For line graphs, you can click any of the dots to review specific information about it. For example, if you click one of the dots on the Behavioral Load Shaping Open Rate widget, it tells you the month, year, and the open rate percentage for that month. The same is true for bar graphs. For example, if you click one of the bars on the Weekly AMI Comms Dispatched bar graph, you will see the month, year, and the number of AMI communications dispatched for that month.
  • Table Widgets: You can sort data on a table widget by the column name. You can also change the number of visible rows from five up to a maximum of 25 rows. Tables with several rows include pagination arrows to move between pages of rows.
  • Map Widgets: You can hover your cursor over the region your utility serves and get specific information about that region. Use the plus (+) and minus (-) icons to zoom the map in or out.

Slider Tool

Use the slider tool at the bottom of a line or bar graph widget to change the window of time you want to view. For example, a graph may give data for a span of two years. You can use the slider tool to only capture one month, a few months, or any other specific window of time.

Downloading Data

You have the options to Grab chart image or Download Data for each graphical widget on a dashboard. You have the option to Download Data for any table and map widgets.

  • If you click Grab chart image, you will be prompted to save a PNG file on your computer.
  • If you click Download data, you will be prompted to save an XLSX file to your computer.
