DGLux Terminology

A DGLux View is a layout of panels configured to display desired facility information. A view can consist of panes displaying native DGLux dashboard widgets (charts, gauges, indicators), graphical representations of equipment, external content (web-page, video, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, 3rd-party widgets, external graphics, etc.), or a combination of all of the above.

A DGLux User is a user profile with unique credentials and permissions to access the DGLux web-interface. DGLux User permissions can range from Super-User who has access to all of the functionality in DGLux, to a basic view user who only has access to the DGLux Views pre-configured for him with no ability to create new views or edit existing ones.

User Management is the pane in which a DGLux User with appropriate permissions can create and edit other DGLux Users and edit their user permissions.

DGLux Navigation is a navigation hierarchy which allows a DGLux User to navigate DGLux Views in the system. Each DGLux User can have a unique navigation hierarchy created for them to limit access to only their relevant DGLux Views.

Navigation Builder is the pane in which a DGLux User with appropriate permissions will create and edit the DGLux Navigation either for himself or other DGLux Users in the system.

The View Mode is the application state in which a DGLux User has the ability to load DGLux Views that are pre-configured and available to him in his DGLux Navigation and interact with the data in the loaded DGLux Views.

The Design Mode is the application state in which a DGLux User with appropriate permissions can create new DGLux Views or edit existing ones and save them to the system repository.

The DGLux viewer is a DGML interpreting engine which is capable of loading any DGLux view without exposing the DGLux application frame and tool-set to the user. DGLux Viewer can run in any standard, flash enabled, browser or as a native application on iOS/Android devices.
