information to be displayed on the dashboard. Click on the Configure widget
button. This opens a configuration sidebar on the right-hand side.
4. You can move and resize any widget by dragging and dropping it on the
dashboard.
5. To delete a widget from the dashboard, click the Remove widget button.
Multi-dashboards are derived from reports. They are reports that have been
published. To create a new dashboard, you must create a new report, configure it,
configure the global scopes of the report, and publish it to be available in the
dashboard application.
To publish a report on the dashboard, open the Report center application. Once a
report is ready to be published, click on the Advanced button located at the top
Before being published, the following dialog appears where you must select an icon
that will be displayed in the application toolbar. Select one of the icons and click
Publish. NOTE: For the moment, the only icons available are object type icons.
The selected icon will appear on the dashboard application toolbar. Now all tenant
users will see the new dashboard application appear in the application toolbar.
To unpublish a report from the dashboard, click on the Advanced button located at
the top right-hand corner of the screen and select Unpublish report.
For all other applications besides the dashboard, the toolbar is visible at the left-
hand side of the screen.
All applications are described in detail in the next chapters, which follow the same
order of appearance displayed on the User Interface.
• To refresh an application window, press F5. This reloads the web page.
• To zoom in a window, press the keys or (scroll up the
mouse wheel). This expands the view of the page.
• To zoom out a window, press the keys or (scroll down
the mouse wheel). This reduces the view of the page.
The Inventory map application provides a map view of all project devices controlled
by the IoT Platform. It provides editing functionalities to facilitate various device
management workflows such as object creation, provisioning, relocating objects,
cloning objects, create groups and networks, import and export inventory. Click the
Inventory map button at the left-hand toolbar to open the Inventory map
application.
The following table describes the tools of the Inventory map application, whose
functionalities are described in detail in the following chapters.
The inventory objects are represented on the map by different colours and icons
depending on the zoom level and the number of objects represented.
When more than a few hundred objects are represented on the map, a compressed
icon is used to represent only the type of object such as:
Light point
Waste container
Camera
Pending commission.
NOTE: The object requires commissioning. Some of
Orange
the object's configuration attributes have changed
and are required to be pushed to the object.
When hovering an object icon, a tooltip with information is displayed. This provides
more information on the object, such as the object ID, location, and current state.
When multiple objects share the same location (i.e. multiple streetlights on a single
pole), the object icons are shown in a grape format.
The KPIs at the top right-hand side of the map represent the following data:
• Total number of objects declared in the inventory.
• Number of connected objects declared in the inventory.
• Number of live objects in the inventory. Objects are considered “live” if they
communicated successfully with the IoT Platform in the last 24 hours.
NOTE: Only Admin users have permissions to execute this operation. For Schréder
controlled luminaires, the light points shall not be created manually since the
controller registration is done through an automatic process called auto-
commissioning. To create an object manually in the Inventory map, perform the
following steps.
1. Click the Add button. This opens the Object creation wizard. Select the
Object type (e.g. Access point, Camera, Light point, etc.). Types define the
generic attributes of the object and the compatible features of the IoT
Platform. For instance, objects such as Energy meters or Light points are
expected to produce data about energy consumption and can become part
of applications such as Energy reports.
3. Enter the Object name in the appropriate field (e.g. Estoril light point).
5. Once the wizard is completed, place the new object on the map. In map view
mode the map is automatically centred on the selected parent group
coordinates.
When clicking on an object icon on the map, the object becomes highlighted and a
left-hand panel opens displaying the object attributes. This panel shows detailed
information on the device such as general object data, configuration data, lamp, and
luminaire description, fixing, maintenance, associated calendar, etc.
The following image shows the object attributes of a FlexiWhite luminaire. This
luminaire includes a tunable white feature, which allows to change the colour
temperature of the LEDs.
NOTE: If the object is connected, saving the changes will not send any information
to the object itself. If some of the modified attributes require to be sent to the
object (i.e. some internal configuration) a commissioning operation will be required
after the Save operation (see next chapter More actions on objects).
The following table lists the object attributes displayed on the User Interface.
NOTE: The column “Editable” only applies to OWLET IV controllers. Attributes from
devices prior to OWLET IV are read-only and cannot be edited.

Sensor hold time is used to define how long a luminaire stays on after being
triggered by a sensor. Users can change the sensor hold time for multiple devices
at the same time:
• Set the hold time by changing the luminaire attribute. Define the value in
seconds.
• After setting the hold time, the device will need to be re-commissioned. NOTE:
only requires to commission if the device has a calendar dependent on
sensors.
• When the change is commissioned to the device, the device holds the light
level at the time set by the user when it’s triggered by a sensor.
For detailed information on how to manage sensors (sources and targets), see
chapter Define sensors in light points.
You can add labels to your devices directly on the device detailed panel so you can
easily organize your devices and query them. To add/remove labels on specific
devices, select the device on the map. Then click Add a label on the detailed panel
and enter a description on the available field.
Like any other object attribute, labels are directly queried from the Inventory lists
application (see chapter Individual actions). You can also bulk edit the labels of a
list of devices from the Inventory lists application (see chapter Bulk actions).
To perform further operations on objects, click on an object on the map. Then click
the More actions button. This opens a dialog with a list of options.
You can perform further operations on the object by clicking the tab.
This opens the following options:
• Photocell – Indicates that the device has a photocell.
• Motion event – Indicates that the device can be configured as a target and/or
a source for dynamic lighting.
You can define sensors to activate light points. This can be done by setting sources
and targets:
• Sources are used to define light points with sensors that can trigger other
target light points. This is useful to change the dimming level to a predefined
percentage for when motion is detected.
• Targets receive events from source light points.
A device can be defined as source, target, or both. To see if a given light point is a
target or source of another light point, you must select the light point and see the
number of sources and targets. To add targets or sources, select a light point and
click on the Edit button. After clicking this button, you must click on the
light points you want to mark as targets or sources, depending on which edit button
you have clicked. The picture below shows the edit mode for adding new targets
for the selected light point.
On the following image, you can see the selected light point (highlighted blue circle)
with 7 targets and 2 sources. Sources are clearly visible with a purple circle and the
Map toggle icon is red, meaning that the user has opted to see the sources.
You can also visualize a matrix with the connection between sources and targets by
clicking the circle next to motion event.
You can manage smart groups This allows to perform several actions:
• Create a new smart group – creates a new group of objects.
• Update an existing smart group – updates an existing group of objects.
• Add/remove devices to/from an existing smart group – allows to add or
exclude one or more objects to/from a smart group without replacing the
older objects. To do so, perform the following steps.
1. Click on the Smart groups tab. This opens the following panel where you
can see a list of existing smart groups.
2. To add one or more objects from a selected smart group, click on the icon.
3. To remove one or more objects from a selected smart group, click on the
icon.
The selected devices are listed on the left-hand panel. You can create a favourite
group by clicking the Create a smart group button.
You can perform more operations on the selected objects by clicking the More
actions button. This opens the following dialog with a list of options.
You can save any given selection as favourite by clicking the Star button and
providing a name for the favourite group. Once created, favourite groups can be
re-selected later directly from the Search panel.
You can view different layers represented on the map. Click the Map layers selection
button located at the bottom of the map toolbar. If there are custom layers
that have been created on the Streetlight Map Data Analytics application (see
chapter Create and edit custom map layers), they become also available here. They
are placed underneath the existing layers, as shown in the following example.
To export devices to a file, click the Export inventory objects button at the top
left-hand toolbar. This opens the Export objects wizard.
You can select the top-level group to export all groups. All children groups will be
exported recursively. At the end, enter the file name and click Export. This generates
a CSV file.
This application also allows to bulk edit thousands of devices at once, manage the
Inventory Status, trigger an immediate or delayed device commissioning, and create
favourite lists. Each inventory list can also be integrated in the Reports application.
An Inventory List is the association of a filter expressed with the Schréder Query
Language and a list of attributes to retrieve from the query. These attributes are
mapped as columns. The Query language offers flexibility to create queries. It
includes a simple expression evaluation engine that allows to combine, perform
operations, evaluate attribute comparisons, allow the creation of precise filters
while keeping the syntax as simple as possible. See the complete guide that
describes the Query Language capabilities in chapter Query language starting guide.
Click the Inventory lists button at the left-hand toolbar to open the Inventory lists
application.
The following table describes the tools of the Inventory lists application, whose
functionalities are described in detail in the following chapters.
The top toolbar and the tools on the right-hand side of the Inventory lists screen
are described in chapter More actions.
2. Click the Object Type field to display a list of object types. Select a type.
Schréder EXEDRA allows to import and export inventory lists so that you can quickly
re-import these resources for a new tenant. To import/export inventory lists,
perform the following steps.
1. Click the Add button at the left-hand toolbar. This opens a dialog.
Select Import a resource file.
4. The uploaded files appear on the central area. Click Done to finish.
Inventory lists are evaluated immediately when they are selected and when any
configuration change is performed (object type, filter, column selection, and scope).
A single inventory list can be scoped globally for a specific group or a specific
inventory state. Scopes are dynamic filters applied to the list static filter.
The Group scope selector, at the right-hand side of the screen, is a simple way to
restrict the evaluation to a specific top-level object group and its children. This
allows to reuse the same inventory list and get the results for different groups
without creating a list per group of interest.
The group scope is a global execution parameter to the application which allows to
toggle between multiple inventory lists and see their results in the selected scope.
Click the Current group scope and select the top-level group to filter.
The default Inventory Status scope is All active devices. This scope can be changed
and locked the same way as the group scope.
• Active – The devices are active and operational. They are included in all
default queries, map representation, and their data is collected.
• Inactive – The devices are non-operational. The devices were either
decommissioned temporarily or definitively. They are excluded from default
reports and maps.
• Discovered – The devices were announced to the IoT platform but are
pending approval. Their data is not collected in this state.
This chapter describes the top toolbar and the tools at the right-hand side of the
Inventory Lists screen. It also explains how to perform individual and bulk
operations.
To perform additional actions on the objects listed, you must select at least one
object by ticking the corresponding checkbox.
You can select all objects by ticking the top-level checkbox. By default, only the
objects on the first page of results are selected. To select the entire list of objects,
click the Select all objects button.
• Save a selected list of objects as favourite. Select the objects and click the
Star button so they can be easily accessible from other applications.
• View selected objects in Data History application. Select the objects and click
the View in Data History button. The selected objects will be shown in the
Data History application.
• View selected objects in Inventory Map application. Select the objects and
click the View in Inventory Map button. The selected objects will be shown
on the map.
On the Inventory lists application, you can also perform the following actions after
selecting multiple objects from your list:
• Create a new smart group
• Add selection of objects to a smart group
• Remove selection of objects from a smart group
• Set the objects of an existing smart group
You can download a list of objects in a CSV file by clicking the Download button
located at the right-hand of the filter.
The lists of objects can be represented on a map so that you can see their
geographical distribution. To view result objects on a map, click the View on map
toggle button located at the right-hand of the filter. The objects will be
shown on a map.
After you create an inventory list, you can filter a firmware failure by entering the
keyword(s) on the Search field. Below is an example of a firmware failed update.
The user may also create, edit, delete and display metering layers from the map
mode of the Inventory List. To do so, perform the following steps.
1. On Inventory list select the map mode.
2. Once on the map mode, a new button appears at the bottom right-hand side
of the map. This allows users to manage custom layers linked with this
Inventory list.
4. The layer creation, edition, and deletion are shown using the same dialog as in
other layer applications, except that the Inventory list is pre-filled. See chapter
Create and edit custom map layers on Streetlight map data analytics.
To edit custom map layers, select a layer, click the Edit button and perform
the appropriate changes.
To remove custom map layers, select a layer, click the Remove button and
perform the appropriate changes.
After the custom layers have been created, they become also available on other
applications such as the Inventory Map and Real Time Control applications. They
can be represented on the map as described in chapter Map layers selection.
5.4.3.1 Attributes
The list of queryable attributes is directly derived from the data models defined by
Schréder. This list can contain a significant number of queryable attributes. The
query editor autocompletion will list only the attributes with name or description
containing the typed text. The autocomplete list shows both the attribute keyword
that will be inserted in the query and its text description.
Meterings are composite objects typically containing at least a date at which the
value was collected, and the value itself. NOTE: Some meterings may have additional
sub-attributes depending on the data model defined.
These sub-attributes can be referenced in the Query Language using the dot
notation: For a metering named ActivePower, its latest value is referenced as
ActivePower.value, and the collection date of that value is referenced as
ActivePower.date.
5.4.3.2 Operators
Valid operators depend on the type of attribute and are listed as auto-completion
options.
5.4.3.3 Values
The expression “ActivePower.value > LampWattage * 1.2” will match all objects
with a current consumption exceeding the theoretical consumption by more than
20%.
$now
This keyword is evaluated as the current date when the query is executed. This
keyword can be combined with modifiers such as + and -
$now - 24h represents the date 24 hours ago. The offset value is a number
immediately followed by the time unit.
$empty
This special value keyword is coupled with the operator ‘is’ and ‘isnot’ to detect
attributes with empty values: City is $empty
The Query language also supports the combination of multiple expressions with
logical operators and and or:
• LampFullDescription contains sodium and LampWattage > 150
When combining multiple expressions with both logical operators, parenthesis might
be required to ensure proper evaluation order:
• LampFullDescription contains sodium and (LampWattage > 150 or
LampWattage < 50)
Is different from:
• (LampFullDescription contains sodium and LampWattage > 150) or
LampWattage < 50
Objects on Schréder EXEDRA User Interface can take multiple states which will
change the object icon as detailed in chapter Object icons and states.
Commissioning lists are a critical support for the commissioning process. Each list
has a specific purpose:
The user can smoothly zoom in and out to either display a global status of all
luminaires in the city or zoom in a specific street or display an area by selecting a
geozone in the hierarchical tree. Whatever the zoom level, the user can click on any
device on the map to open a detailed information panel on the selected device.
Click the Streetlight status button at the left-hand toolbar to open the Streetlight
status application.
Object states are represented on the map with different colours that reflect the
condition of the system:
• Green (Nominal status) – The object is fully functional and presents no active
alarms.
• Red (Error status) – At least one alarm with Error severity is active on the
object.
• Orange (Warning status) – At least one alarm with Warning severity is active
on the object.
The following table describes the tools of the Streetlight status application, whose
functionalities are described in detail in the following chapters.
The Object information panel allows to view detailed information on any device. This
panel displays information such as the status, the alarms history, eventual tickets,
and maintenance information for this device.
Schedulers are tools that allow users to manage when control programs are applied.
Control programs can be scheduled to run on a given day, every day of the week,
every month, etc. The Streetlight schedulers application allows to define different
control programs and associate them to calendars to configure the streetlights.
It enables to create, edit, or delete control programs (dimming schedules) for a set
of commands (ON, OFF, or dimming commands for fixed time events or based on
astronomical clock).
Click the Streetlight schedulers button at the left-hand toolbar to open the
Streetlight schedulers application.
The following table describes the generic tools of the Streetlight schedulers
application, whose functionalities are described in detail in the following chapters.

NOTE: The specific tools used in the Control programs and Calendars panels are
described in the respective chapters: Control program tools and Calendar tools.
A Control program is a dimming profile defined for a 24 hours period. It defines not
only the dimming levels to be applied over 24h, but also other control variables such
as dynamic controls, photocell dependencies, and astronomical clock governance.
Control programs may be assigned to days/events in Calendars. This provides a great
flexibility, allowing users to adapt lighting to different scenarios (e.g. weekdays,
weekends, seasons, holidays, specific events, etc.). Users can create and apply
multiple control programs across calendars. See chapter Associate calendars to
control programs.
To open the Control program panel, click the View list of control programs button
at the top toolbar. The next screen displays a list of preconfigured control programs
at the left-hand side and an editable dimming graph at the centre of the screen.
The following table describes the specific tools used in the Control programs panel,
whose functionalities are described in detail in the following chapters.
5. The list of control programs is displayed on the left-hand side of the screen.
The Control programs panel allows to define the geographical position where you
want to deploy your dimming program. You can configure the timezone and
geolocation to simulate the astronomical clock for this specific location and
visualize the control program’s variations over the year.
Tools Description
Changes the geolocation of the control program. Drag the tool to move
the geolocation to a new position.
3. After performing the changes, click outside the map to go back to the control
program editing screen.
To change the date of the control program, perform the following steps:
1. Click the Change date button. This opens a date slider to quickly
simulate the control program profile at a different time of the year. Drag the
slider to simulate a different date.
2. At the end, click the Set new date button to save the new date or the
Set current date button to restore the previous date.
Control programs can be edited directly on the profile graph or on the properties
list at the right-hand side of the graph. You can drag and drop any point on the
graph or edit the properties list on the right. When hovering on a point on the graph,
the corresponding point in the properties list is highlighted, and vice versa.
Delete dimming
Deletes a dimming command.
command
After editing the control program, click Save to confirm the changes or Undo to
discard them.
The control program will be active for the time duration defined in this chapter.
The Streetlight Schedulers application also enables users to configure scenarios for
dynamic lighting systems. You may add a dynamic control rule(s) to light points,
define an active period, select the trigger type (sensor) and dimming level to be
applied when triggered, and also change the colour temperature on luminaires.
To perform these operations, click the More actions button at the right-hand
corner of the screen. This opens a dialog with the following options:
• Add a dynamic control rule. See next chapter Add a dynamic control rule.
• Add a sensor based active period. See next chapter Add a sensor active
period.
• Enable tunable white. See next chapter Enable tunable white. NOTE: This
feature is only available for customers who have luminaires with a variable
colour range.
To add a dynamic control rule to a control program, perform the following steps.
1. Click the More actions button and select Add a dynamic control rule.
A dynamic control period is automatically added to the graph (in stripy blue).
2. Drag the blue arrows on the graph to the desired dimming level and time,
and edit the properties list on the right:
• Trigger type:
o Motion event: Triggers when a motion detection event is received
from a given source as defined in chapter Configure sources and
targets.
o Start/End: Set the start/end time for the control rule to be active.
o Operation: Set the light level value defined in the dimming level.
o Dimming level: Set the dimming level percentage.
To add a sensor active period to a control program, perform the following steps.
1. Click the More actions button and select Add a sensor based active
period. An active period is automatically added to the graph (in stripy yellow).
2. Drag the yellow arrows on the graph to the desired dimming level and time,
and edit the properties list on the right. NOTE: The program will only be
activated when the trigger is active.
• Select the Trigger type:
• Photocell: Triggers when the local photocell detects that light
level is below the requested threshold.
NOTE: Users can select the sensor(s) to which the luminaires will react to and the
associated configuration parameters (e.g. set sensor hold time, trigger activation
delay, trigger maintain time) in the Inventory Map application. See chapters Set
sensor hold time and More actions on objects.
Tunable white is a feature that allows to change the colour temperature of the
luminaires. The user can define the colour for a 24 hour period and also enable or
disable the colour change view on a control program. NOTE: Tunable white is only
available for customers who have luminaires with a variable colour range. You can
have different scenarios with tunable white:
• If you have a control program with tunable white active assigned to a non-
tunable white luminaire, only intensity will be managed since the light point
does not support colour management.
• If you send a colour that is not supported by your luminaire (e.g. 1800K) when
the luminaire only supports 2500K, the luminaire will always assume the
lowest value.
3. Scroll down to display the whole range of colour temperatures (lower values
are warmer colours, higher values are colder colours).
5. At the end, click Save to confirm the changes, or Undo to discard them.
NOTE: Temperatures defined in the control program may not be supported by
all luminaires. The same colour temperature might have different results on
the field depending on the type of luminaire.
Calendars define which control program should be active each day of the year. They
are displayed with different colours to differentiate exception control programs for
specific days or periods. A graphical panel is also available to clearly display and
manage the priority between control programs in a calendar.
To open the Calendars panel, click the View list of calendars button at the
top toolbar. The next screen displays a list of calendars at the left-hand side panel
and an editable graphical display of calendars at the centre of the screen.
The following table describes the specific tools used in the Calendar panel, whose
functionalities are described in detail in the following chapters.

NOTE: Before creating a calendar, it is necessary to have at least one control program
already created for the calendar to work as expected. A calendar is a container of
control programs. To create a new calendar, perform the following steps.
1. Click the View list of calendars button at the top toolbar.
2. Click the Add button at the left-hand toolbar. This opens a dialog.
Select Create empty calendar or Create from existing calendar as
appropriate. NOTE: To import a resource file, see chapter Import/export
calendars.
Schréder EXEDRA allows to import and export calendars so that you can quickly re-
import these resources for a new tenant. To import/export calendars, perform the
following steps.
1. Click the Add button at the left-hand toolbar. This opens a dialog.
Select Import a resource file.
4. The uploaded file(s) appear on the central area. Click Done to finish.
The Default dimming program is the lowest priority configuration. In case no other
dimming program is defined, the Default dimming program will be applied as
standard for any given day/date.
You can associate calendars to control programs either on calendar view or from a
rules list view. To do so, click on one of the buttons located at the top right-hand
corner of the calendars display:
• Edit calendar graphically. See following description.
• Edit calendar textually. See following description.
NOTE: Calendars display days from noon to noon, instead of midnight to midnight.
This removes ambiguity regarding the time when a control program starts and when
it stops.
Rules list
There are 2 types of rules for associating a control program to days in the calendar:
• Day based rule: This rule is applied to a list of days of the week (e.g. Mondays
and Fridays every week, every month, every year).
• Date based rule: This rule is applied to a list of dates (e.g. 1st of June, 3rd of
June) with an optional monthly recurrence (e.g. 1st and 3rd of each month)
and a yearly recurrence if this rule is to be applied for all subsequent years.
4. At the end, click Assign Program to assign it. Alternatively, click Cancel to
discard the changes or the Delete button to remove the association.
As an alternative to the calendar view, you can assign calendars to control programs
from a rules list view. Rules represent the priority order for each calendar. To assign
calendars from a rules list view, perform the following steps.
1. Click the Edit calendar textually button. The following screen appears.

After calendars are assigned to control programs, each calendar is then assigned to
groups of luminaire controllers. If these luminaire controllers are connected
(controlled), then dimming schedules are commissioned, pushed to the network
when powered and available, using the appropriate API. The User Interface ensures
that the devices properly execute their dimming schedules. If the luminaire
controllers are not connected, the dimming schedule shall be used by the Energy
Consumption report (see chapter Energy Reports) to evaluate the consumption of
these luminaires.

applications such as the Inventory Map and Real Time Control applications. They
can be represented on the map as described in chapter Map layers selection.
Schréder EXEDRA Platform evaluates energy saving compared to the same lamp,
but without dimming. The more frequently devices communicate these data to the
IoT platform, the more accurate the energy reporting shall be. With cumulated
energy consumption provided every hour (or more often), the Reports application
provides global energy reporting. Reports can also be generated for a city’s area,
with energy consumption calculated once per night for all luminaire controllers in
that area. The calculation of consumption for the non-controlled luminaires is done
using the control program assigned to those luminaires. All reports can be exported
to a PDF file.
You can also add an Energy saving widget to the Dashboard. See chapter Dashboard.
