When you access the Hub, you’ll see three tabs: SITES, RESPOND, and RESEARCH.

You can filter the columns by clicking the Sites search icon.png icon and search in a specific column by clicking the Sites filter icon.png icon. You can also search across all columns by using the Search field.

Note

For sites, the Dashboards view is not enabled.

RESPOND Tab

In the RESPOND tab, you’ll see all the alerts from all the connected sites.

By default, the ALERTS tab opens displaying the last 24 hours of alerts. The Since time will remain as-is until you refresh the screen. You can change the display using the drop-down list at the top of the screen. The default time for this drop-down list can be changed using the DefaultTimeDisplayedInRespondInDays environment setting in the BriefCam Administrator Console. To show all alerts, enter -1. To show half a day, enter 0.5.

You will also see the time zone of each alert.

The BANK TRENDS aggregated dashboard is available on Hub environments and shows an overview of the data for the last day.

To use the dashboard as intended (including the after-hours chart), either use real-time channels for this dashboard or use on-demand channels that are scheduled for a daily (24h) processing at 6 AM (and not midnight).

To change the default dashboard to the BANK TRENDS dashboard: 

  1. In the BriefCam Administrator Console, find the QlikAggregatedAppSheetID environment setting.

  2. Change the value to: bf295448-e53b-434c-9dcc-821f85d3d663
