Watch Status Panel

Overview

A watch status card is a summarised view of a watch. Clicking on the card opens the watch Details page.

Watch status cards appear when you click on a heat tile or grid row.

Duration:

Red and amber cards show a duration in minutes (m), hours (h) or days (d). This is the duration of the most recent issue on the watch.

Watches with additional features show a badge in the lower part of the card. Click the badge to jump to that section of the watch details page. Badges needed?

Flow

Shown if the watch has either Flow or NBAR

Clarity

Shown if the watch has either Broadband Clarity or Cellular Clarity in a green state (no issues)

Performance

Shown if the watch has one or more performance tests and all are in a green state (no issues)

The Clarity badge changes to amber or red if either Broadband Clarity or Cellular Clarity have an issue

The Performance badge changes to amber or red if one or more tests on the watch have issues

For performance tests which are discovered via API, the test name on the third party system is shown instead of the test type

Maintenance

If the watch is in maintenance, the maintenance icon is shown. On hover this shows "Watch in maintenance".

If one or more performance tests is in maintenance, a purple dot shows on the Performance badge.

Cards still show colour changes to amber and red when in maintenance but this does not impact the associated heat tile colour.

Watches in maintenance do not send alerts, change the colour of heat tiles nor decrement availability figures
