This Week in PowerRadar, in 60 Seconds

Here's a quick look at what's new in PowerRadar this week. In under a minute, see how the TimeView Assistant turns your findings into a PDF report, how TimeView Compare can now line up days of the week, and what else we've improved. The full details follow below the video.

TimeView Assistant: Download Your Findings as a PDF Report

What changed

You can now ask the TimeView Assistant to write up what it found as a PDF report. The assistant puts together a branded report with a summary, key numbers, charts and tables, and adds a link to it in the chat. Click the link to open the PDF.

Why it matters

Until now, an investigation ended inside the chat. To share it, you had to take screenshots or copy text, and the person receiving it got pieces without dates, devices or numbers they could check. Now you can send your manager or customer one clear report that makes sense on its own - even to someone who never saw the conversation.

How to Create a Report

1. In TimeView, open the Panoramic AI panel.
2. Ask the assistant for a report. You can do this in two ways:
   • After a question. Ask your question as usual - for example, "How did energy use change this week?" - then ask "Create a PDF report on this."
   • In one request. For example, "Create a report comparing site energy last week with the week before."
3. The assistant collects the data and writes the report. This usually takes a few seconds. When it's ready, the answer shows the report title as a link, followed by a short summary of what the report highlights.
4. Open or save the report:
   • To view it, click the report title. The PDF opens in a new browser tab.
   • To save it, click the download arrow next to the title. The PDF is saved straight to your computer.

Reports are created only by asking in the chat.

What's in the Report

The assistant decides what the report covers based on your request, and lays it out in clear sections. Depending on the question, a report can include:

• A header with the report title, the site name, and the date and time it was created (in the site's time).
• Numbered sections - for example, Summary and Daily consumption trend - each with a short written explanation of what was found, including the numbers and dates behind it.
• Key numbers in highlighted boxes - for example, Energy used so far, Highest daily use or the change between two days.
• Charts that look like TimeView: energy and cost as columns, power and current as lines. Above each chart you'll see the date range, the measurement and the site or devices it shows, plus a Data as of date. When there's room, each column shows its value.
• Tables and ranked lists - for example, the devices or categories that used the most energy.
• Notes that help the reader read the numbers correctly - for example, when the period includes today, the report points out that today is only a partial day and keeps it apart from the full days.
• A footer on every page with the creation date and page number, and a reminder that AI can make mistakes and important figures should be checked in PowerRadar.

The file is named with the report title, the site name and the date, so it's easy to find later.

Comparing Two Periods

When you ask the assistant to compare two periods, the report shows them on one chart, the same way TimeView's Compare does:

• Each day (or month) shows two bars side by side. The earlier period is striped and the later period is solid.
• The chart header shows both date ranges - for example, From Nov 02 to Nov 08 vs Oct 26 to Nov 1 - and the legend names both periods.
• Whole months and years are lined up month by month, so January sits next to January.
• When you compare devices, the report can include a ranking table with each device's earlier and later values and the change in kWh and %.

Finding Your Reports Again

• Reports stay with the conversation. Reopen the conversation from your chat history, and the report link is still there. You can download it again at any time.
• Need changes? Ask the assistant - for example, "Make the report focus only on HVAC." It creates a new report, and the earlier one stays in the conversation.
• Your reports are private. Only you can download a report from PowerRadar. To share it, send the PDF file.

Good to Know

• Who can use it. Anyone who can use the TimeView Assistant can create reports. No extra setup or permission is needed.
• Monthly allowance. Creating a report counts as one question in your site's monthly allowance. Downloading a report again doesn't count.
• One report per answer. The assistant creates one report each time it answers.
• Large numbers are easier to read. Very large values move to a bigger unit, as in TimeView - for example, 8,738,101 kWh is shown as 8.74 GWh.
• Charts can cover up to a year. A report can include up to four charts.
• Deleting a conversation removes its reports. PDF files you've already downloaded are yours to keep.
• If the report doesn't open. If you see "Could not download this report. Try again.", wait a moment and click the link again. "This report is no longer available." means the conversation was deleted.
• Web only. The TimeView Assistant, including reports, is available in the PowerRadar web app.

TimeView Assistant: Choose Who Can Use It

What changed

Admins can now turn off the TimeView Assistant for individual users at a site, and turn it back on at any time.

Why it matters

Until now, when the assistant was on for a site, everyone with access to that site could use it. Now you can decide who uses it - for example, to keep your site's monthly allowance for the people who need it most.

Good to Know

• The rest of PowerRadar doesn't change. A user without assistant access can still use TimeView and everything else as before.
• Turning access back on restores the assistant for that user right away.

TimeView Compare: Line Up Days of the Week

What changed

When you compare a period with the same period a month, 3 months or a year ago, you can now choose how the two periods line up: By date or By day of week.

Why it matters

Comparing by date lines up the 1st with the 1st. But the same date usually falls on a different weekday each year - so a Monday could be compared with a Sunday, and a working day with a weekend. Since most sites use energy very differently on weekdays and weekends, the comparison could look like a big change when there wasn't one. Comparing by day of week lines up Monday with Monday.

How It Works

1. In TimeView, open Compare.
2. Under Presets, choose By date or By day of week. The preset dates update so you can see the result before you apply it.
3. Choose a preset - for example, Same period a year ago.

For example, if you select Tuesday 27 October to Monday 2 November 2026, By day of week compares it with Tuesday 28 October to Monday 3 November 2025.

Good to Know

• By date is the default, and works exactly as before. Use it when you need to match a bill or a calendar month.
• Previous period isn't affected. It always compares with the stretch right before your selection, so the weekdays already match.
• Your choice is remembered for each site, and is saved with your presets.

TimeView Compare: Same Scale for Split Charts

What changed

When you compare two periods in Split view, a new Same scale toggle lets both charts use the same y-axis range.

Why it matters

Before, each chart was scaled to its own data, so a week that peaked at 100 kW and a week that peaked at 300 kW could look the same height. With Same scale on, the same height means the same value in both charts, so you can compare them at a glance.

Good to Know

• On by default. Turn it off when you compare periods with very different values and want to see each one in detail.
• Split view only. In Overlay view, both periods already share one chart, so the toggle isn't shown.
• Your choice is remembered for each site, and is saved with your presets.

Improvements and Fixes

Improvements

• Manual Export starts where you are. When you create a new export, the form now fills in the partner and account you're working in. If you start from a site, the account is filled in and that site is already selected.
• Download the partner users list. The User management page for partners now has a CSV download button, like the account user lists. Users who have never signed in show - in the Last login column of the file.
• 13 months of history on Visualize sites. Visualize sites can now view 13 months of data instead of 12, so you can compare a full month with the same month last year.

Bug Fixes

• Temperature sensors with Outside temp. In TimeView, turning on Outside temp could hide temperature sensor lines that read much lower or higher than the outdoor temperature (for example, cold rooms), and the chart could stay empty after turning it off. The chart now fits all the lines, and goes back to normal when you turn Outside temp off.
• Site location tooltip. In TimeView's Customize chart > Data Layers, the Site location tooltip under Outside temperature was hard to read. It now shows the site address clearly.
• Real-time power widget. On sites with generation, the generation arc now sits right inside the import/export arc, so the dial reads as one gauge.
