Manage events with SiteHive

📊 Manage events with SiteHive

Explore the functionality of Events, an innovative feature in SiteHive Enviro Pro that enables users to track, analyse, and gain valuable insights into on-site exceedances.

Where to set up events 👀

Events is a SiteHive Enviro Pro feature that allows users to record, investigate and explain exceedances that happen on site.

Log In
Navigate to the top menu bar and click 'Settings'
Look underneath your site name to the second menu and click 'Rules'
You can Create your own Custom Rules or utilise the 'quick rules' we have set up

Rules

Events are generated by rules, which are user-specified thresholds created in the Settings section.

A rule typically features a parameter (e.g. sound level), a threshold (e.g. 65dB) and a time of day (e.g. 7am-6pm).

When creating a rule, users can specify if a rule will generate Thresholds Only or Events.

'Thresholds Only' will generate a threshold line on the Dashboard and Reporting graphs that serve a purely visual purpose.

A rule that is configured to 'Generate Events' will record every instance where data from your site exceeds that threshold, and store that instance as an 'Event'.

Managing events

All events are stored in the Events tab, where they can be investigated and categorised as 'Reportable' or 'Non-Reportable' exceedances.
Users can classify events into custom categories like 'Non-Project Related Traffic' or 'Windy Conditions'.
The Events page filters allow easy access to specific time periods, rules, aspects (e.g., noise or dust), and monitoring points for focused analysis.

Categories help describe common event explanations under Reportable and Non-Reportable headings for monthly reporting.
The explanation field allows users to add specific comments for each event.
Events are now organised by day and rule, making batch investigation and explanation efficient, especially for multiple events triggered by the same cause.

The "Investigate" button provides contextual information for the exceedance, including images, audio, direction of arrival data, and vibration waveforms. This simplifies on-site event investigation, whether in real-time or during month-end reporting.

Events on dashboard

Events appear on the dashboard for real-time investigation.

Clicking an event bubble displays details such as the rule that triggered it, the exceeded measurement, and any associated media for quick on-the-fly investigation and explanation.

Reporting events

Events is a key feature to incorporate into end-of-month reporting.

Events can be included, Reportable, Non-Reportable, or both, in SiteHive generated PDF reports. This makes it easy to account for and report exceedances of site thresholds.

Details of the exceedance, including the category and explanation are included in the PDF. Read more about Generating PDF Reports with SiteHive
