Viewing 4D Indicators and Readings

You can view tables of 4D indicators in APM Site and Asset windows using the “4D Analytics indicators” configurations.

You can review indicator readings in 4D charts, where the Analytical Viewer provides a view into the Influx data. Readings tabs list the readings that have been pushed to APM from 4D Analytics processes, as well as any indicator readings entered directly in APM.
