Recommendations

Recommendations are generated from Kelvin SmartApp™ or from third party sources using the Kelvin API endpoint and will either be automatically accepted and implemented or wait for the Operations Engineers decision on the actions to take.

Data Explorer Menu

Every Recommendation performed is shown in the activity lane in the Data Explorer. This allows you to quickly and visually see the effects of individual Recommendation on your Data Streams.

Icon Meaning
Recommendation Accepted
Recommendation Waiting for User Action
Recommendation Rejected
Recommendation Expired (The Operations did not accept or reject the Recommendation within the alloted timeframe)
Multiple Recommendations in this timeframe, click icon to see more details of individual Recommendations

If the X-axis scale is too small to show individual Recommendation times, then they will be grouped together and the icon will be a white circle with a number above indicating how many Recommendations are registered at that point in time.

Click on the white circle and the graph will automatically zoom to that location in time and show the individual Recommendations like below.

Info Popup

If you put your mouse over any Recommendation point in the time frame, a popup will display detailed information about the that Recommendation.

Hide Activity Lane

Recommendation activity lanes can be turned on or off from the visualization settings in the right hand sidebar.

Action a Recommendation

When you click on See More in the info popup you will see the Recommendation popup where you can see the full details of the Recommendation.

In the Recommendations popup you can see the full details of the Recommendation on the left hand side.

This will include information about;

  • Recommendation Tag (In this example this is Decrease Speed)
  • Current Status (In this example this is Pending)
  • Assets that will be affect if Recommendation is accepted (In this example this is ESP #01)
  • Reason for the Recommendation
  • When the Recommendation will expire and automatically be rejected

The middle column named Recommendation Actions shows all the actions that will be taken if the recommendation is accepted.

This example gives only one action, but this could be a list of multiple actions to be implemented if the Recommendation accepted.

This will also give you information about the current setting when the Recommendation was created as well as the Recommended new setting.

The actions are not just limited to Control Changes but can also be one of the following;

Warning

Even if a Recommendation is accepted, this does not mean the Actions will also succeed. It just means the Actions are initiated.

There may be cases where a Recommendation is accepted and highlighted green, but the Control Change fails, for example due to Guardrail rule violation, and is highlighted Red.

  • Control Changes
  • Send Emails and Alerts (using Custom Actions)
  • Create Alarms (future feature)

Evidence are attachments to the recommendation that provide comprehensive information to Operations, enabling informed decision-making.

If evidence is attached, it may include one or more items in various formats, such as bar or line charts, dynacards, images and even IFrames to external websites.

You can add an unlimited amount of comments at any time to this Recommendation.

You do not need to Accept or Reject a Recommendation to add a comment.

Comments are very useful for;

  • Sharing information between Operations or shifts about certain Recommendations
  • As feedback to the Developer. The Developers can use the comments to determine how to improve the Kelvin SmartApps™ that produce the Recommendations.
