The point list shows all available points and point groups defined in GeoMoS Monitor. The points are listed in several groups sorted:

 

 

Points appear in the overview and sites groups either when a graph containing these points is added to an overview or to a site or in the case when a point is added to an overview or to a site using the Point Management.

Field

Description

Status bar (1)

Status bar gives a quick overview about the graph that is currently edited and to which site it belongs. It informs as well about which graph template is used.

Time range tabs (2)

The Time range tab shows the available time periods for data visualization. Time range tabs allow a fast change between the most common time ranges.

 

Define general time tabs in Settings Time. To use an individual time range that is not pre-defined select the Selected tab. This time range can be defined in the Right menu → Select fixed time area.

Graph area (3)

This area displays the graph according to the selected properties, as well as the graph legend.

If the graph name contains the [*] sign, it means that the limit classes can't be displayed. The reason why they can't be shown, can be found in the graph template settings.

Series tabs (4)

In the Series tab it is possible to assign up to three series to one graph. It allows for a fast switch between the most common time series.

Navigation (5)

Depending on the amount of data a graph can consist of many pages. Use the navigation bar to navigate between the pages and to modify the number of visible points per page. The points that have no data for the current time selection will not be listed in the legend.

Point list (6)

All graph points and auto-added point groups are listed in this area.

 

Right menu

The right menu offers three different setting groups:

 

 

These series depend on the selected graph template. More detail on each of this settings is given in section Graph templates.
