Web Dashboard
The homepage of the web dashboard provides your organization's most vital information. From current weather to any potential policy risks, this is a great page to check as you start your day or when inclement weather is headed your way.
Create a Location
- From the homepage, click Manage Locations in the top-right corner.
- Click Create Location.
- Enter a name for the location and the address you want to monitor, then click Create Location.
The new location will appear on the Location Management page and in the Organization Location dropdown menu on the homepage.
Add a location
- Log in to the web dashboard here.
- Click the "Add Location" button from the top-right corner of the homepage.
- Select the location you need to monitor and save.
Mark as Favorite
You can set a location as a favorite by clicking the star on the location tile.
Organize your locations
If you need to monitor multiple locations, you can organize your locations to fit your needs:
- Sort your locations by Active Warnings first to show locations with an active policy alert. You can also sort by Favorites First, A-Z, or Z-A
- Filter your locations by Favorites Only, or choose Status -> Delay to show only those with an active warning.
- Accounts on Plus or Advanced can also assign custom Location Tags to their locations to group them together based on your team's needs. On Plus and Advanced, you can also save each filter and sort configuration as a Saved View to make it easier to come back to at a later time.
Your weather station data
- If you have a Perry Weather weather station installed at the location you've added, the station image and current conditions data displayed will come directly from that weather station.
- The Current Conditions panel displays temperature, rainfall, wet bulb globe temperature, and additional weather data. Conditions update every 5 minutes. To customize which weather conditions are displayed on your dashboard, click the ellipses (…) and select up to five weather conditions. Use the arrow controls to organize the selected conditions in your preferred order.
- All weather station data is stored within the platform. To view historical data, click View Historical in the Current Conditions panel.
Lightning status
Lightning zones will be determined by your group policies or personal location settings outside of your group policies.
This panel displays the lightning zones you need to monitor for delays based on your configured group policies. During a delay, a flashing countdown timer will appear. The timer resets each time a new lightning strike is detected within your lightning zones. Once the all-clear timeframe has been reached, the panel will display an All Clear status.
