      What is the Data Summary Feature

      The Data Summary feature in Conserv Cloud Analytics provides users with clear, actionable statistical insights at a glance. This powerful tool transforms complex environmental data into an easy-to-read table format, enabling you to quickly assess the performance of your collection environment without manually calculating statistics.

      Key Benefits

      The Data Summary feature offers several advantages for collection care professionals:

      • Instant Statistical Analysis: View minimum, average, maximum, and standard deviation values without manual calculations
      • Real-Time Responsiveness: Data updates automatically based on your selected date range and zoom level
      • Multi-Sensor Comparison: Compare statistics across multiple sensors simultaneously
      • Raw Data Accuracy: All calculations use unprocessed sensor data for maximum precision (even when the graph is being downsampled)

      How Data Summary Works

      Statistical Calculations

      The Data Summary table displays four key statistical measures for each sensor:

      • MIN: The lowest recorded value within your selected time period
      • AVG: The average (mean) value across all readings in the selected range
      • MAX: The highest recorded value within your selected time period
      • STD. DEV.: Standard deviation, indicating how much variation exists from the average

      Real-Time Updates

      The Data Summary feature dynamically responds to your analytics settings:

      • Date Range Selection: Statistics recalculate when you adjust your date range
      • Zoom Level: Zooming in or out on the graph updates the displayed statistics
      • Filter Application: Any applied filters (for readings or selected sensors) immediately affect the calculated values

      Multi-Sensor Display

      Each sensor visualized on your analytics graph appears as a separate row in the Data Summary table. This allows you to:

      • Compare performance across different sensors
      • Identify outliers or problematic sensors quickly
      • Assess environmental consistency across multiple locations

      Accessing the Data Summary

      The Data Summary feature is available exclusively to paid Conserv Cloud users. To enable this feature:

      1. Navigate to the Analytics tab in Conserv Cloud using the left-hand navigation panel.
      2. Select your desired sensors and configure your view
      3. In the DISPLAY menu on the top right of the graph, locate Show Data Summary
      4. Turn on the Show Data Summary toggle

      The Data Summary table will appear below your analytics graph, displaying statistical information for all active sensors.

      Understanding the Data

      When interpreting your Data Summary results, consider the following:

      • Standard Deviation Values: Lower standard deviation indicates more stable conditions, while higher values suggest greater variability
      • Range Analysis: Compare MIN and MAX values to understand the full scope of environmental fluctuations
      • Average Trends: Use AVG values to identify long-term environmental patterns
      • Sensor Comparison: Look for significant differences between sensors that might indicate equipment issues or environmental variations

      Practical Applications

      The Data Summary feature supports various collection care activities:

      • Environmental Monitoring: Quickly assess whether conditions meet your preservation goals
      • Equipment Validation: Compare sensor readings to identify potential calibration issues
      • Report Generation: Use statistical data to support environmental condition reports
      • Trend Analysis: Identify patterns that might require environmental system adjustments
