Platform Manager
Platform Manager (internally called EMS — Energy Management System IoT) is a Mango module that helps system integrators build multi-site monitoring dashboards without custom coding. Using a structured configuration UI, you define your portfolio hierarchy — Sites, Device Types, and Devices — and Platform Manager generates a three-level navigation experience automatically.
How It Works
Platform Manager organizes monitored data into three levels:
| Level | View | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Global Overview | High-level summary of all sites — KPIs, active alarms, a site map, and a site table. |
| 2 | Site Overview | Data filtered by one site — devices, site KPIs, watchlists, and dashboards. |
| 3 | Device Details | Data for one specific device — metering values, set points, additional points, alarms. |
Each level is driven by configuration rather than code. You tell Platform Manager which data points to show, how to label them, and what layout to use — it handles the rendering.
Data Hierarchy
Before configuring the UI, you define the hierarchy that your data follows:
Portfolio
└── Sites (physical locations, e.g., "Site-01 — Austin Data Center")
└── Devices (equipment at that site, e.g., "SITE-01_UPS-A")
└── Device Type (equipment category template, e.g., "UPS-GFX-1200")
Data points in Mango are tagged with the Site XID, Device Type XID, and Device XID they belong to. Platform Manager reads those tags to route point values to the correct view.
Key Features
- No-code dashboards — configure layouts, KPIs, watchlists, and device tables through the UI
- Global → Site → Device drill-down — navigate from portfolio overview to individual device details
- Map integration — sites appear on a map with alarm status icons
- KPI rollups — aggregate point values across sites or device types
- Custom layouts — per-site and per-device-type tab configurations including Dashboard Designer pages, watchlists, site tables, and custom AngularJS components
- Alarm integration — active alarm counts displayed at every level
- Role-based access — individual sites can be restricted to specific roles or users
