Complete Update of Layout and Interface
The main difference in version 6.0 is very obvious as the layout is completely new and improved.
The Workspace Overview page gives a complete summary of the new layout.
Notably, Dashboards have been replaced by Workspaces. When upgrading a site, any saved Dashboards will be converted to Workspaces.
Workspaces are configurable pages that can contain a group of Charts, Gauges, and Dashlets.
In addition, the Navigation window was replaced by the Command Center which combines data organization with controls.
Chart Option Panel

A collapsible control panel has been added to historic data charts which gives quick access to common Reference Charts.
Go to Chart Options tab in Charts for more information.
The default visibility of the Chart Option panel is controlled in the Settings.
Patterns
More information about this feature
Patterns allow SCADAWatch to compile aggregate repeating trends found in measured data.
For example, running an hourly pattern on flow from the treatment plant for a month can quickly show the average 24 hour pattern of water supply used that month.
Refer to the Patterns page for more information.
Biz Block
More information about this feature
Biz Blocks are simple tools that allow multi-component analysis.
Several inputs of sensor data can be specified, which can be fed into output functions that leverage each of the inputs as well as Analytical Functions.
For more information, refer to the BizBlock page.
