Systems and methods for creating and using a workflow template for analyzing data entities stored in the one or more databases. After a desired workflow is identified, one or more series, data source, and/or entity restrictions based upon the workflow may be received. In addition, one or more chart configuration settings based upon the workflow may also be received. The restrictions and configuration settings may be saved as the workflow template. The workflow may then be performed by loading the saved workflow template, in order to automatically generate charts in accordance with the configuration settings of the template, based upon a received selection of series, data sources, and entities that adheres to the restrictions defined in the template. |

1. A computing system configured to access one or more databases to create and use a workflow template for analyzing data entities, the computing system comprising:
a computer processor; and one or more databases storing data corresponding to a plurality of entities, the plurality of entities being associated with a plurality of data sources and a plurality of series, wherein a series corresponds to values of an attribute of an entity that can be measured over time using one or more sensors or modeled using one or more models; a computer readable storage medium storing program instructions configured for execution by the computer processor in order to cause the computing system to:
create a template for a workflow usable to guide other users in generatin one or more charts based upon series values corresponding to one or more entities, wherein creating the template comprises:
receiving, from a first user of the computing system, a plurality of criteria indicating one or more series restrictions, data source restrictions, and entity restrictions to be associated with the workflow, wherein a data source is used to determine values of a series for an entity, and wherein the one or more restrictions specify a number or type of series, data sources, and entities that may be selected during performance of the workflow;receiving, from the first user, one or more chart configuration settings to be associated with the workflow, wherein the one or more chart configuration settings specify a type of chart to be created during performance of the workflow; andsaving the template including the plurality of criteria and the chart configuration settings;perform the workflow using the template, wherein performing the workflow comprises:
loading the saved template;based upon the saved template, generating an interactive user interface comprising user interface elements allowing a second user of the computing system to select one or more series, data sources, and entities, wherein a number of series, data sources, and entities that can be selected by the second user is restricted based upon the plurality of criteria of the template;via the interactive user interface, receiving selection of one or more series in accordance with the plurality of criteria of the template;via the interactive user interface, receiving selection of one or more data sources in accordance with the plurality criteria of the template;via the interactive user interface, receiving selection of one or more entities in accordance with the plurality criteria of the template;using the selected one or more data sources, retrieving values of the selected one or more series corresponding to the selected one or more entities, the retrieved values corresponding to one or more measured sensor values or one or more modelled values; andgenerating and displaying to the second user one or more charts indicated in the chart configuration settings of the template, based upon the retrieved series values. |
