FAQs

Use this guide to understand the map colors, find a building, filter the view, and see where each power reading comes from.

What You Are Looking At

  • A 3D map of the College Park campus with a choice of a standard campus view or satellite imagery.
  • Each monitored building is shown in one color that represents its current power status.
  • While the application is open, colors update automatically as new readings become available. Select Refresh Dashboard to reload the latest stored information immediately.
  • Use the map search to find a building by name or building number and zoom directly to its footprint.
  • Click an actively monitored building to see what was observed, when it was observed, and which sensor supplied the reading. For a muted-teal building, hover or click to see why it is not actively monitored.

What The Colors Mean

  • Red — No Power: the latest building status includes a power-outage issue reported by an approved Aruba UXI sensor.
  • Green — Normal: the latest building status reports normal power and no power-outage issue.
  • Maryland Gold — Unknown: an approved sensor is assigned to the building, but it has not provided a usable power reading.
  • Purple — In Maintenance: all sensors eligible to monitor the building have been placed in maintenance by an administrator. They are not checked again until their Monitoring Status is returned to Active.
  • Muted teal — Not actively monitored: the building has Active set to No in the Building Registry. It remains visible for awareness but cannot be assigned a sensor. Its map label identifies it as not actively monitored; hover to see the reason.

How To Use It

  • The four summary cards count the buildings displayed by the dashboard: actively monitored buildings plus Building Registry records with Active set to No. Those inactive records are included under Normal and use muted teal on the map.
  • The coverage note identifies displayed buildings that remain list-only because no map footprint is available.
  • Use the chevron on the map/sidebar divider to collapse the summary and filters for a full-width monitoring map; the browser remembers your preference.
  • Use Select all / Clear all to reset the view, e.g. clear all and click "No Power" to focus only on outages.
  • Select Buildings not actively monitored to show only the muted-teal buildings. Select it again, or choose any status card or filter, to return to the full view and apply that status selection.
  • The 3D button tilts the camera so buildings stand up; the home button flies back to the campus view if you get lost.
  • Choose Campus for the clean, muted operational view or Sat for satellite imagery.
  • Buildings outside the selected status filters remain visible as neutral cream 3D models. Selected statuses recolor the complete building from ground to roof.
  • Building names are placed directly above their 3D footprints; labels appear progressively as you zoom in to avoid overlapping one another.
  • The Executive Overview tab shows the same four operational statuses as a searchable, filterable list, including buildings without a map footprint.
  • Zoom, drag, and rotate freely — the status colors stay locked to the buildings.

Where The Data Comes From

  • Approved Aruba UXI sensors are connected to the UMD network, with cellular backup, and plug into AC outlets served by building house power.
  • When building power fails, onboard capacitors keep a sensor alive for about 60 seconds so it can send its outage report.
  • Aruba status, active power-outage issues, maintenance controls, and the approved sensor registry are translated into the four operational states above.
  • When multiple sensors for the same building are checked in one update batch, the building uses the most severe reading. A reported outage therefore takes priority over a normal reading in that batch.
  • Building shapes come from real campus footprint data, so the highlight matches the actual building.
  • This is an indirect street-power indication based on the sensor data currently available.

Refreshes, Polling, and Access

  • Aruba UXI sensors are checked in shared batches only while at least one user has the application open. Multiple users share the same update cycle rather than starting separate checks.
  • The latest stored reading for every sensor remains available while a full update cycle progresses. If nobody has the application open, checking stops and resumes when a user returns.
  • Refresh Dashboard reloads the map and Executive Overview and requests the next shared update when it is due. It does not bypass the Aruba API cooldown.
  • Reload Sensor List reloads the Power Sensor Details table without starting a separate Aruba update cycle.
  • Building Registry, Sensor Administration, Power Sensor Details, and Admin Users are restricted to approved administrators; the Operations Map, Executive Overview, and FAQs are available to authenticated users.
Administrator access only

Building Registry Administration

Manage the buildings shown in the application. Building Number and Building Name are required. Set Active to Yes when a building can be assigned a sensor. Set it to No when a building is not actively monitored; it remains visible in muted teal, and its notes explain why. Imports add or update buildings without deleting records omitted from the file.

Aruba UXI Sensor Administration

Manage the sensors used for building power monitoring. Set Monitoring Status to Active for normal checks or In Maintenance to pause checks until the sensor is returned to Active. A serial number is required. Sensors with missing or conflicting building information remain listed but are not checked until corrected. Imports add or update sensors without removing records omitted from the file.

This view includes only approved Aruba UXI sensors used by the dashboard. They are AC powered by building house power; their capacitors provide about 60 seconds to report an outage over the UMD network or cellular backup. Inventory and setup records that do not participate in power monitoring are intentionally omitted.

Administrator access only
