Main Topbar MultiUPS Guide

Main Dashboard and Topbar Guide

This guide explains how to read the main dashboard and how to use the TopBar correctly in single and multi-target contexts.

1) Why This Page Matters

Most beginner mistakes come from one issue:

• reading or changing data while the wrong target is active

TopBar is the context anchor for the entire UI. If you learn TopBar behavior, the rest of Nutify becomes predictable.

2) What You See After Login

After successful login, Nutify opens the main dashboard.

Main areas:

• left sidebar: page navigation
• topbar: active target context and quick controls
• dashboard body: cards, events, and summaries for active target

3) TopBar Components (Field by Field)

TopBar includes:

• active target selector button
• UPS serial block
• runtime status label (Online, On Battery, Unknown, etc.)
• battery percentage
• load percentage
• power value
• local clock display
• CPU and RAM indicators
• action icons (theme, multi-ups, settings, logout)

Interpretation rule:

• these values belong to the current active target unless explicitly marked as global

4) Active Target Selector (Core Behavior)

Click the target label to open available targets.

Example inventory:

• Gideon (ups@127.0.0.1)
• Atom (ups@10.10.10.128)

After switching:

• topbar metrics update
• main dashboard cards refresh
• target-scoped settings now point to the new target

5) Single vs Multi Behavior

Single profile:

• selector usually contains one target
• topbar still acts as context anchor

Multi profile:

• selector becomes a daily operational tool
• every target-scoped read/write must follow current topbar selection

6) Multi-UPS Monitoring Page

TopBar action Multi-UPS Monitoring opens fleet view.

What fleet view is for:

• compare many targets at once
• identify degraded/offline targets quickly
• triage incidents before deep per-target investigation

What fleet view is not for:

• detailed per-target configuration editing

7) Entering Settings from TopBar

TopBar Settings opens target-scoped settings.

Important:

• this is not the global system area
• it follows active target context

8) Notify / Reporter / PowerFlow in TopBar Flow

These tabs are target-scoped and follow active target.

Notify

Use for:

• attaching global providers to this target's events

Reporter

Use for:

• target-specific report delivery behavior

PowerFlow

Use for:

• target-specific timezone, currency, nominal power, and formulas

9) Golden Rule for Context-Safe Changes

Before any save operation:

1. check active target in topbar
2. check page title/tab context
3. apply change
4. verify resulting data on same target

This prevents cross-target configuration mistakes.

10) Daily Operator Routine (Recommended)

1. open dashboard and verify topbar target
2. scan status, battery, load, and power
3. switch to each critical target and repeat
4. open fleet page for cross-target comparison
5. open Notify/Reporter/PowerFlow only after confirming target context

11) Common Mistakes

• forgetting to switch target before editing settings
• assuming Notify/Reporter/PowerFlow are global
• comparing values across targets without changing active context first
• reading fleet data as if it were single-target detail

12) Quick Validation Checklist

Target context is healthy when:

• target label changes immediately after selection
• topbar values refresh for selected target
• dashboard cards and charts change accordingly
• Notify/Reporter/PowerFlow show target-specific data
• Multi-UPS page still shows aggregate fleet view
