Claims (15)

  1. A method of customizing dashboards, the method comprising: outputting (202) a list of users; receiving (204) a selection of a first user from the list of users; outputting (206) a first dashboard (300) associated with the first user, wherein the first dashboard (300) comprises a first information type; receiving (208) a selection of a second information type; outputting (210) the first dashboard (300) associated with the first user, wherein the first dashboard (300) comprises the second information type; receiving (204) a selection of a second user from the list of users; and outputting (206) a second dashboard associated with the second user, wherein the second dashboard comprises a third information type.
  2. The method of claim 1, further comprising associating the second dashboard with a third user from the list of users.
  3. The method of claim 2, wherein associating the second dashboard with the third user includes granting access privileges to the second dashboard to the third user.
  4. The method of claim 2 or of claim 3, wherein associating the second dashboard with the third user includes removing access privileges to the second dashboard from the second user.
  5. The method of any of the above claims, wherein the first dashboard (300) simultaneously comprises the first information type and the second information type.
  6. The method of any of the above claims, wherein the first information type, the second information type, and the third information type each include one or more of alarm information or sensor information.
  7. The method of any of the above claims, further comprising outputting a global dashboard associated with all users from the list of users.
  8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first dashboard (300) and the global dashboard are both accessible to the first user.
  9. The method of any of claims 7 or 8, whereby the method further comprises the first user taking an action on the basis of information comprised on the global dashboard.
  10. The method of any of the above claims, whereby the method further comprises the first user taking an action on the basis of the first or second information type comprised on the first dashboard (300).
  11. The method of claim 9 or of claim 10, whereby the action comprises one or more of: suppressing a server; restarting a server; reconfiguring a server; changing temperature setpoints; changing temperature thresholds; increasing cooling capacity; adding a server; removing a server; adding equipment; removing equipment; responding to an alarm; acknowledging an alarm; adjusting power supply parameters; initiating maintenance procedures; reassigning workloads; enabling a sensor; disabling a sensor; enabling a device; disabling a device; triggering a backup system; triggering a failover system; modifying access permissions; scheduling an automated routine; activating a camera feed; deactivating a camera feed; activating a monitoring zone; and deactivating a monitoring zone.
  12. The method of any of the above claims, whereby the method further comprises deleting the first dashboard (300).
  13. The method according to claim 12, whereby the deleting comprises interacting with a delete button (408) included on a settings dashboard (400).
  14. A system (100) for customizing dashboards, the system (100) comprising: at least one interface (114); and at least one controller (116) coupled to the at least one interface (114) and configured to operate according to any of method claims 1 to 13.
  15. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon sequences of computer-executable instructions for customizing dashboards, the sequences of computer-executable instructions including instructions that instruct at least one processor to operate a system according to claim 14 according to any of method claims 1 to 13.

Description

BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Disclosure At least one example in accordance with the present disclosure relates generally to customizable system-management dashboards. 2. Discussion of Related Art Industrial systems may include industrial equipment and related monitoring equipment. Monitoring equipment may include sensors, such as temperature sensors, current sensors, voltage sensors, and so forth. Monitoring equipment may also include cameras in some examples. Monitoring information acquired by the monitoring equipment may be provided to a manager of an industrial system. The manager may use the monitoring information to manage the industrial system. SUMMARY Methods, systems and computer-readable media are provided according to the appended claims. Examples of the methods and systems discussed herein are not limited in application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The methods and systems may be capable of implementation in other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Examples of specific implementations are provided herein for illustrative purposes and are not intended to be limiting. Acts, components, elements, and features discussed in connection with any one or more examples may be configured to operate and/or be implemented in a similar role in any other examples. The phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description. References to examples, embodiments, components, elements, or acts of the systems and methods herein referred to in the singular may also embrace embodiments including a plurality. Similarly, references in plural to embodiments, components, elements, or acts may be implemented as a singularity. References in the singular or plural form may therefore not be intended to limit the presently disclosed systems or methods, their components, acts, or elements.
