Okay.
So it is twelve o'clock,
so we'll go ahead and get started.
Thanks everybody for joining.
I'm sure we'll get a few more that are kinda straggling in here.
My name is Emily Malin. I am your host for these webinars.
We have Zach Stevens here doing our IntelliSketch
release webinar.
So just to let everybody know a couple housekeeping things.
So this webinar will be recorded and all of the
material, including the transcript, the actual webinar
itself, the PowerPoint, the q and a,
everything that you can imagine from IntelliSketch will be
bundled up and sent to all of the attendees.
And if you weren't able to attend, obviously,
this message is not gonna go to you,
so not even worth saying it.
But if you know somebody who didn't attend,
just ask your RSM,
and we'll be able to send out the link to them as well.
You'll also get a survey following up on this,
just kind of some questions that Zach will ask you if you
guys have any need for projects or help or anything like that.
And then our next webinar will be on March twenty fifth
at ten AM.
It will be our professional development services group with
Dave Amos.
So he's gonna go through a couple of their latest projects,
a couple of those PDS modules that you guys see that have
been built into the Intelliweb framework, and just, again,
do a q and a afterwards for him on that.
And then following that will be a what's new in Red five,
really highlighting the Red five field release as well
as the red five VAV with t one l.
So that's our MSTP and our t one l versions.
That's going to be with Andy Beaveridge,
April twenty eighth at ten AM Pacific time.
So please join us for those.
Right now, all of your mics are muted.
So what we're gonna do is let Zach go through the
presentation just because there's so many folks on here.
But the chat is open, so any questions that you have,
we'll be monitoring that.
And then we'll go through and do the q and a afterwards.
And then at the very end, if anybody needs to talk,
if you really feel the need to say hi to Zach,
I will open up the microphones.
So it's really something to keep you guys here until the very end.
So without further ado, here we go. Zach, it's all you, buddy.
Awesome. Thank you so much.
Welcome, everybody, to the IntelliSketch release webinar.
We timed this very well because we actually rid officially
released IntelliSketch yesterday along with
IntelliSketch four thirty two.
So IntelliSketch release version is now available once
you download IntelliWeb four thirty two,
which is really exciting.
Thanks thanks again for coming. This is a this is a big deal.
I expected a big crowd.
I even got a haircut for this event, so I hope you like it.
I'll let you decide if if I'm referring to my haircut or the presentation.
I hope you like both, but, we'll we'll see.
So to go through the agenda here,
I'll just do a a general introduction of what
IntelliSketch is and what it's all about.
I'll be spending most of the time on a feature overview just
going over all the features and tools that are available in
IntelliSketch.
From there, I'll then get into a training course review.
We also released a training course,
at the same time as we released the product, which is exciting.
So, yes, you can dive into the product,
but you can also take the training course,
right before just to get yourself more comfortable.
Then I'll cover the road map of IntelliSketch,
and then I'll open things up to QA.
So unlike some of my other webinars,
I am going to actually actually just go right through the
presentation then take questions at the end just so we
can keep things on time here.
So my plan here is I'll probably take about half the
time of the hour on this presentation,
then I'll I'll use the rest of the time for q and a.
Alright.
So IntelliSketch is Delta Control's next generation
graphics editor and viewer.
Our first release here is for Intelliweb on premise.
In a few weeks here,
we'll have this release version available in IntelliCloud when
we do the four thirty two version deployments.
And then later this year,
we will have IntelliSketch as part of our building Canvas
engineering software.
So this is just the beginning.
We're we're releasing it with IntelliWeb first.
It's been in beta for a while as as you may know,
but our our release version is is on premise first.
So some key highlights here.
IntelliSketch is all about giving you a head start in the
graphics creation process as well as making it more efficient.
So what we've done here is we've provided a lot of templates.
So we have quite a few default layout templates that give
you predefined navigation.
We have equipment templates, some some nice new ones, which I'll show.
And we also have expanded our data control,
templates as well to include some edit boxes, data boxes,
and and that type of stuff.
So you're welcome to use our predefined templates,
but this product also has the flexibility that you can create
your own as well.
So IntelliSketch is backwards compatible.
We you have the ability to upload your IntelliViz graphics
to view and edit them.
With this being the first release,
we do have defined support levels on our support side if
you wanted to take a look at that.
So we're not at a hundred percent backwards
compatibility, but we are very far into that.
Like, all your data links will work.
All of your equipment graphics should work.
We've got a little bit more work to do there, but,
we are comfortable enough with the current support levels
to claim that this product is backwards compatible.
So, as mentioned, this product is easy to deploy.
It's packaged with IntelliWeb four thirty two.
So once you upgrade to IntelliWeb four thirty two and
you have an IntelliViz license,
you will automatically get IntelliSketch at no cost.
So we are pairing IntelliViz and
IntelliSketch together. They will run-in parallel.
We have no plans to end of life IntelliViz.
IntelliSketch is meant to be
easier to use option to lessen the learning curve of creating graphics.
So as I go through what our plans here are,
you'll start to see that it'll become pretty obvious that
there's no reason not to use this product just because of
all the value that it brings to your engineering process.
As I mentioned, we have a self paced training course available.
That's at training dot delta controls dot com.
I will be giving you an overview of that in this presentation.
And something really exciting that we have coming up,
the second half of the year here is we're going to allow
you to deploy IntelliSketch graphics inside of Delta
Controls IP based controllers.
So you can have a red five that has IntelliSketch graphics
living inside of it so that you can have,
controller level autonomy in terms of
overriding points, seeing summaries, commissioning,
and some stuff like that.
So that's one of the major reasons why we have created
IntelliSketch is to have a lighter weight tool that can be
more portable and can be deployed inside of the embedded
web of our controllers.
I'll give you a bit more detail on that in this presentation as well.
So IntelliSketch talking about now and the future,
our first release here,
the goal is to lessen the learning curve to create graphics.
Later this year, as I said,
we will be introducing embedded graphics.
This is for sure a standalone webinar in itself,
embedded graphics that Andy Beaveridge,
or myself will will present,
and that will allow for local viewing and override of points
on a controller level, in rather than only a
management software level,
which is which is what our current offering is.
And then as we continue to evolve this
product, we will be integrating it with our building Canvas
as next generation software.
If you didn't know,
building Canvas is in beta right now as of a couple weeks ago.
So right now, building Canvas is primarily a engineering tool
to create databases.
What we'll be doing is adding IntelliSketch to it.
So as you create your databases,
your graphics will be created along the way as well.
So that's where this will really,
really become a a super duper efficient tool as we continue
to evolve it.
So that's kind of our high level plan of of where
IntelliSketch is going.
I'll talk about, some dates in more detail later in this presentation.
But to continue on here to get into more detail about,
how IntelliSketch gives you a head start,
the tools that are available in IntelliSketch include template projects.
So these are a variety of predefined navigation schemes.
I believe in our first release, we have five template projects.
We will continue to expand that.
We have more palette categories available as well.
We have kept the same pallet categories as Intellivis for
backwards compatibility purposes,
but we have also added some new, pallet categories,
both two d and three d equipment graphics as well as,
some additional data controls.
Mass editing.
So we have global search and replace and data link list
within the product, which I will show you as well,
which is a really cool feature.
And probably my favorite feature of the whole product,
which I'll show you in a moment here,
is device and object filtering.
So you can multi select multiple devices,
filter based on common objects, and do some very, very quick,
data binding, which which makes you super efficient.
Because from experience, I do know that the graphic
creation process, a lot of the time,
you're just hunting for data.
You're trying to figure out where the point is that you
want to attach to the graphic.
This user experience that we've introduced of device and object
filtering makes that very, very efficient.
And then here's our, wall of tools.
I'm not sure why you need a power drill to create graphics,
but it's there anyways.
So editor themes here, everyone likes their dark mode.
So we have a dark mode editor theme.
If you're a weirdo like me and like like mode,
we have the light mode as well.
Project templates.
So as I said, have five out of the gate here.
On first release, we will add more.
So what this is all about is giving you a head start,
giving you a starting point.
So that is a navigation set that is on the side,
on the top, on the bottom.
Another template we have is just a blank template,
which we call the default template.
And then, we also have graphics generator.
So for those who are familiar with Intellivis,
our previous graphics tool, this is a rebrand of the
EWM, the workflow module.
This allows you to auto generate your navigation,
your alarms lists, your VAV summaries using spreadsheets,
which is really cool.
And I'll I'll show you some examples of that coming up as well.
So we have the graphics generator
inside of IntelliSketch.
So just oops. Just to give you a walk through here.
If I go to create a new project,
I'm prompted to choose my design path.
What I can do is I can pick one of my templates.
So you can see see here I've got four plus the graphics generator.
So if I go create a new project,
can just type in my new awesome project
and go create project, creates it nice and quick for me.
And you can see here I have my
buttons that I can change the location of where they go to.
So you can see I've got a graphics folder here that has
some predefined graphics for me.
So if I just go to preview, I can click through,
and you can see these are just placeholders right now.
But I'll show you how you can actually,
quickly make some updates very, very quickly.
So if I go to my home frame, because, obviously,
my building isn't the Delta building,
it's a different building.
So what I'll do here is I will rename the Delta building my
awesome building.
I will change my project address to one two three
Amazing Street. Sounds like a good place, doesn't it?
And I will change my company just to be called my company.
And then now what I'll do is I'm gonna change my background image.
My background image should be an image of my actual building.
So I can just upload it by just,
selecting it from my computer somewhere,
uploading it to my media folder,
and then just assigning it to be the background image,
which you can see I I did here just with a few clicks.
So now if I just save this,
if I go up top and I go file save or control s,
lots of quick keys here,
I can go to the home page and you can see that it
automatically updates.
So if I go to preview and go full screen,
you can see that it scales nicely based on the size of my screen.
So in summary here, what we're doing is we're giving you a head start.
You can choose to use these project templates if if you'd like to.
If you've got a a quick project you wanna do and and you don't
want to potentially reinvent the wheel,
you can just use our predefined templates here and and very,
very quickly deploy a project.
So my next steps from here would be to just do some data
binding and update my links and and add some
different graphics if I choose to do so.
So what I could have done here is I could have just dragged
and dropped, the background image onto there.
I was a little bit too embarrassed to show my messy
desktop, so that is another option there,
that I forgot to mention.
So just continuing here talking about
different plates that we have in this
projects product.
So graphics generator is one of them.
What this allows you to do is populate graphical elements
using spreadsheets.
So just to show you an example here,
we have a spreadsheet of what looks like a points list or or
very close to it.
You have your device address. You have your room number.
You have your floor level. You have your name.
EN, meaning English.
This is multilanguage,
so we can have your graphics be bilingual or trilingual.
We've seen some customers use this and and have their
graphics work in three different languages,
which is really cool.
And then you just fill out horizontally all your different
IO for your different objects that you wanna see in your summary.
And what the graphics generator does is it automatically
just creates this graphic for you with with no effort other
than just filling out the spreadsheet,
which is really cool.
So if you if you need to update your graphic in the future,
you just update the spreadsheet.
You don't need to update the graphic itself.
Another area that gets auto generated here using the
graphics generator is the building summary on the home page.
So if you look here, I have the name of my buildings.
So these are our cities in in the Vancouver
area as an example.
So those cities auto generate under the alarms.
If you look at site information list here,
this is the range of devices.
So from device one hundred to ten thousand on
the Abbotsford site name,
I wanna have all of the alarm active alarms auto generate in the list here.
So it looks like I'm best case scenario here where everything is zero.
But as active alarms come in,
you will see that value increase,
and then you can actually acknowledge your alarms right
from the graphic,
which is a very nice efficient thing that can be done here.
And then the rest of these columns here in the spreadsheet
are for spreadsheet references.
So project CSV is the navigation CSV for that building.
Room CSV is the VAV summary for that building,
which is the
previous slide that I showed you.
So showing you what a project CSV looks like,
we have auto generated slide out navigations that can
be populated using a project spreadsheet.
So if you look here,
I have the name of the button,
and then I have the graphics they go to,
and you can create a nice slide out navigation right through spreadsheets.
So, again, you don't need to update the graphic itself.
You can just update the spreadsheets,
and it'll auto generate for you.
That's the name graphic generator.
Alright.
So getting into some of the pallet categories that we've
introduced into IntelliSketch.
So we have a new pallet category called HVAC two d.
So this is two d ductwork as well as two d plant equipment.
So this is optional to use.
All the shiny three d stuff is also available,
but I'm a big fan of the flat ductwork that gives
you more room to work with rather than having slanted
ductwork, which is what the three d stuff gives you.
But this is just an additional option and a tool available for
you that you can use, which is really nice.
Data control.
So we've made some additions to the data control palette.
We have, the usual buttons, and we have,
manual indicators.
We also have some edit boxes and some data boxes.
One of the items that's that's really neat here that you have
seen in in previous graphics products,
but we've made some improvements here as well,
is what we call the e web object button.
So what you can do is you can just drag and drop any objects
like a schedule,
and you click on it and it opens the schedule in a new tab.
If you drag and drop or duplicate another one so if I
just go control d duplicate,
what I can do here is I can just drag and drop a trend log, for example,
and I can go preview, click,
and it opens up a trend log in a new tab.
So we have lots and lots of tools like this throughout the
product that is our aim to make you more efficient.
This is a really good one where you can have that access point
to Intelliweb or IntelliCloud right from the graphic to do
some further troubleshooting or reviewing of data,
and the e web object button is a is a really good tool for that.
We also have a new pallet category just called Delta.
It's a bunch of equipment images.
Some of them are interactable. Is that a word?
Interactable or interactive, I guess,
is the word I should be using.
We have a a thermostat here, one of our easy thermostats.
The background color of the screen changes based on however
you wanna configure it.
We've got some logos in there as well.
You can put o threes all around your graphic if you choose to do so.
So this palette, especially, will will keep expanding as we
introduce, new hardware.
Alright.
And, of course, you have the ability to create your own palette categories.
This is not a proprietary product where you have
to use our templates.
You have the ability to create your own.
This is a drawing tool.
So if I create a an amazing button that I want to be the navigation
style for my whole project,
what I can do is I can simply just right click send the palette.
And what that'll do is that'll save into my project palettes,
and I can reuse it across my current project or any other
projects if I if I make this project a template.
So very, very flexible tool.
We provide you lots of templates,
but we also have the flexibility,
for you to do your own thing if you choose to do so.
Alright.
So getting into data acquisition and data filtering,
this is that, feature that I was hyping earlier.
This is a this is a good one here.
So if I have a floor plan that I've drawn some zone overlays
on, I can go to what we call advanced search,
and I can pick a site name.
And if I go to devices, I can multi select VAVs.
So if I multi select three rooms, for example,
what this does is this populates all objects for all
those devices, then I can filter based on
space temperature.
And now you can see I have three space temperatures across three devices.
What you're what I'm showing you here is you can configure things.
So if I just drag and drop it onto that layer,
I get this pop up and I can change whatever I want,
change the color, stuff like that.
Or I could just drag and drop it directly onto the text box,
which would create a binding if I just want a regular formatted value.
I just wanted to show you that you have those additional
configuration options as well if you choose to use them.
These are some cold rooms.
I maybe should have used, some more realistic values there,
but these are just cloud simulations.
So so that's okay.
People don't aren't living in a zero Fahrenheit room.
Don't worry.
So that is our data filtering capability.
This is a huge improvement, versus some other,
graphics products where you can do some,
really nice intricate, filtering in order to get data
from multiple devices in just a few clicks.
Saves a ton of time in the graphics creation process.
Alright. So global data link list, another new feature here.
So what this allows you to do is see the data
links that are attached to any layer on your graphic.
So what you're looking at here is this is that demonstration I
just showed you where you have the floor plan graphic and you
bound three AIs from three different devices.
So what this allows you to do is you can fix this right here.
You can edit it.
If I made a mistake, if I were to click on this row,
it would highlight the layer on my graphic.
I can I can edit this as mentioned,
and then I can also multiselect my entire project?
So every single graphic across my whole
project, I can get a master data link list to check everything.
So this is really good for internal QA purposes.
You wanna make sure that,
everything's bound to the right place.
And then what you can do here is you can press this export
button at the end,
a very nice new feature here where you can send a report
to your customer as a verification that the data
points on your graphic are in fact accurate.
That's the worst thing that can happen is you bind something
wrong to the graphic and it turns on a piece of equipment
on the other side of the project.
You don't want that to happen.
So this is where export data link is very,
very good feature to to send a report to your customer to let
them know that, everything is in fact correct.
Find and replace.
What we used to do is send people to Notepad plus plus to
do this type of work,
but we had now have this right within the product.
So if I am building my graphics referencing the site
name delta demo, and then I export it and upload it
to my real site, and it turns out my real site is George
University, I can just do a mass edit here to change all my
Intelliwebsite references from Delta demo to George
University all in one go.
So very, very quick global action here,
which is which is a nice workflow feature.
And you can do this across the entire projects,
not just on a graphic by graphic basis.
Okay. So backwards compatibility.
This is just a very quick demo on how the workflow of our
backwards compatibility feature works.
So what I'm showing you here, of course,
is best case scenario.
As I said, we do have documented,
support levels of this right now.
This will continue to improve over the next few,
IntelliSketch versions.
But how this works in general is I have IntelliViz open right now.
You can see how I can just interact with it,
and then I can interact with all the layers.
If I go export this project sorry. This person clicks fast.
I exported this project.
I go into IntelliSketch, and I import it, and I rename it.
And just this may take a few seconds or minutes to to
convert, but what then happens is,
your whole project is then converted into SKH format With
both products being HTML five based,
we have no problem converting images and equipment and stuff like that.
It's some of the advanced logic in the background of stuff that
we're still working on.
But as you can see,
we had a lot of success in this example just converting the the
HTML five graphics because it's it's browser based stuff.
That's that's pretty easy to convert.
So this this is another way that you can get a head start
in your graphic creation process,
and IntelliSketch is is reusing previous work,
which is which is a nice statement that we can make.
Alright.
So going through the training course here just pretty quickly.
Oops.
We have a course on training site called IntelliSketch
Foundation. So we have some help files here.
Then we also have some videos.
So if you go to introduction to IntelliSketch,
you can see a video.
You wanna hear my soothing voice again,
you can you can go through them.
Don't skip through them like this person does.
I actually don't know why I showed you this,
but you wanna make sure that you you watch the full videos.
And, also,
you can go through the concise video summaries if you want
written examples of it.
And there's practice quizzes that,
you can go through to prepare yourself for the halfway exam
as well as the, final exam to get certification.
And you can see here,
I believe we have about twelve videos here.
This is not a huge time commitment.
This was the goal of this product is to be easier to
use, easier to pick up.
So all of these training videos,
I believe it's about two to three hours total.
It's not a week long commitment or anything like that.
So I'd highly recommend you guys go to our our training
site and and go through the training videos.
Watch them in full.
Don't skip through them like what I just showed you.
And
get your certification,
which will give you a a shiny piece of paper.
So just to give you a bit of a preview here of of what's coming next.
So second half of the year here,
summertime is our target is is we want to enable local
serverless visualization of equipment.
So this would be real time data commands and overrides on a device level.
So in this case, you won't need Intelliweb or IntelliCloud
to override points through graphics.
You can do it directly on a controller.
You can
also
use this as a as a commissioning tool if you wish,
and, of course, you can access it,
via any browser or mobile device.
So why this matters?
This does reduce commissioning time if you choose to to use
this as a commissioning tool.
This allows you to get into smaller sites where,
they may not need a supervisory software.
And, of course, it provides, controller level autonomy.
Our our HMI screens are a big target here where you can have
a Red five device be the data source rather than
needing IntelliWeb to be the data source for for your graphics.
So this is a big reason, again,
why we created IntelliSketch is to be able to port it onto controllers.
That is coming very soon.
How the workflow will work for this?
So for those who are familiar with IntelliTouch,
it's quite similar to this,
with some modernization work that we're going to do,
is you'll create your graphics in IntelliSketch,
save the graphics to the file object in the database of a controller.
So these
these graphics will become device agnostic,
meaning that they won't have hard device references in them.
Meaning, you can just create one VAV graphic and deploy it to
hundreds of databases if you choose to do so,
and it'll just pick up the local device reference.
And then once you have the graphic in your database,
you can enable the graphics feature in the embedded web of
a controller, which prompts a new user to be created.
And then once we get into operations,
you can log in to the controller via the IP address
or the host name using the graphics username and password,
and then you can view and override points.
So I believe our first release here is gonna be local points only,
and then you can have everything logged,
in in the logging object.
Alright.
So last,
I think I got just two more slides here before I open this
up to questions, is road map here.
We've been in beta in this product since October,
so we launched it at our global conference in October.
We have now officially released it.
Embedded web or pardon me.
Embedded graphics will be available in the summertime.
We will then get IntelliSketch into Canvas,
which is a work in progress right now,
which will allow building Canvas to be your end full
engineering tool.
And then, from there into the future,
we'll we'll continue to modernize the workflow here
where we can get more into tagging in and automation of
the creation of graphics.
So this is more conceptual still,
but it's it's very much in the planning phase.
So to finish off here,
I just wanted to give a big thank you to our team,
our big team here that was involved in the creation of
IntelliSketch.
This was a very large effort,
and it's a a lot of thought went into this in terms of the
design of of the workflows to make things more efficient.
It was really, really interesting,
rewarding experience.
I just wanted to thank everyone involved here.
We had a party a few days ago here.
You can see a bunch of us stuffing our face with cake.
I also wanted to thank those who did not contribute to the
product but contributed to eating the cake.
We needed some help eating the cake, so thank you for that.
It was a good cake.
I especially like this picture on the top left.
This looks like David and I's new studio album cover,
so I don't know why we're opposing like that.
But,
again, thank you so much to the team,
at Delta here for for all your hard work to to make this possible.
Alright.
So what I'll do now I saw quite a few questions pop up.
So what I'll do here is I'm gonna I'll read them I'll read
them to you now.
Maybe I'll stop sharing so I can look here.
Can just read them to you if that works.
Sure.
Yeah. Perfect. Okay.
So will esketch always be bundled with eviz,
or will the licenses eventually be split?
They will eventually be split likely.
But right now, they're just they're just paired together just for ease of deployment.
K.
Any chance of getting the red five line to support a
Bluetooth PAN to use graphics
that for that controller via Bluetooth?
I guess I'll say possibly.
Like, would you mind emailing me that with more details?
I can I can into that with more details?
K. That's Ramsey on. We can note for that also.
Yes. Philip has my email. He can he can message me on that.
That's an interesting concept.
Perfect.
Data link list, like, was in OrcaView, question mark?
So
data link list in OrcaView, I believe,
was just the current graphic that you had
open, and I don't think it was editable.
I could be wrong there.
But the the major improvement here is it's across the whole project.
So, yes, we had a data link list in EVIS as well,
but it was only one graphic at a time.
So this is the the global side of it is the extra value.
K.
Doesn't IntelliSketch have options to import and export
Revit files and vice versa?
No. Not at this time.
You would need to do that through an iframe if you wanted
to see those types of graph or those types of files.
K. Can dark mode be the default?
Yes. So good question. So well, for you, yes, it can.
It's based on users.
So when you log in to Intelliweb and you set it to
dark mode, you will always be dark mode for your user.
Cool.
We had a comment here that they should have a dark mode and a
darker mode.
So just take that into account.
Okay.
We had a couple of questions on is it possible to drag and drop
the images, but you said, yes.
That is possible for that first part you went through. Yeah?
Yes.
That I that demonstration, I should probably update that
to to do it that way.
But, yes, that's absolutely possible.
K.
Is there a way to put something else on the home page, like,
a k, the dashboard of the EWM in
place of the alarms?
Yes.
So you can configure that home page to be
whatever page you want.
So you don't have to use the alarming home page in that
spreadsheet example I gave you.
I believe it's the project spreadsheet.
You can configure what the homepage is,
and it can be whatever you want.
K.
Were these graphics generator templates created new in
eSketch or are they converted from evis graphics?
They are converted it it's a little bit of both.
There was conversions that happened plus improvements.
One of the examples is
in IntelliViz, in order to configure your project,
you needed to use the project dot d f five,
the project data flow.
What we've done instead is we've created a HTML page
called steadings dot s k h,
and that's where you do your configuration.
It's more of a simplified HTML page versus data flow.
Oh, it's it's a little bit of both.
K.
Do these support v four timed override,
and are there overlay buttons on the EZNS?
So this is when you were talking about the
So I didn't view one.
We don't have a palette item yet to support timed overrides,
but there are ways of doing it just through the available
BACnet properties, like,
if you were to create your own symbols.
So, yes, not by default,
but that is on our list to to improve the data control
palette to to formally support that in a Delta template.
And then the easy thermostat question,
right now, it's just the background color changes.
That's it.
We don't have all of the different images,
like the what is there?
Thousands of different combinations of of icons
for the for the easy thermostat.
So we just have it simple right now of of background color,
and then you can do what you wish with it.
K.
Is there any difference in the speed of reading data for
IntelliViz versus IntelliSketch?
So our
I I actually can say yes on that.
Our benchmarking has shown that data acquisition is quicker.
We made improvements to our API to make it quicker.
I don't have the specifics in front of me,
but this is a good reminder that I need to update our
release notes to
make those types of statements because we definitely did do
benchmarking on on speed between eviz and esketch.
And with esketch being lighter weight,
we we have seen better performance in that.
But I, yeah, I can't speak on specifics.
I need to update the release notes, so watch out for that.
K.
Does eSketch work on live production sites?
Yes. Absolutely.
We have customers in beta already that have deployed
IntelliSketch to live production sites. So yes.
Absolutely.
Nice.
Does eSketch have a similar table manipulation compat
capabilities in the data flow as EVIS?
So
this is probably the biggest difference between
IntelliSketch and IntelliVis is we don't have
the data flow user experience at all.
But what we've done and what we will sorry.
Let me gather my thoughts here.
What we have currently done, if you look on our, support site,
is we've created a feature equivalence table where we have
created feature equivalence that accomplished the same
thing that a lot of data flow blocks did,
and and did it in more of a simpler way.
Like, if you go in that just one example here is if
you in IntelliViz, if you needed to have
an alarm flash colors, black, red, black, red, black, red,
you needed to use a stopwatch block, a modulo block,
and and a and a few other things.
Just in the binding menu of IntelliSketch,
there's an an advanced tab in there,
and you can just do it by configuring a couple
properties, which which makes those data flow blocks not necessary.
So that is our our goal here as we continue to evolve the
product is is have feature equivalent to
a lot of those data flow blocks,
but we will never support all of those data flow block because
I believe there is a hundred and twenty of them, and
a large amount were never used based on our information.
When I say that, I'm I'm talking about the logarithm
ones, the
trigonometry ones.
There were some really obscure ones in there that that we have
no reason to to support anymore because because they weren't used.
But, I guess, just to summarize and hit on an exact answer, no.
We don't have table manipulation
availability in the product right now,
but but that is an area that we want to
improve in the future.
Okay.
Will there be a manual for this product?
There is.
If you so we have embedded help within
IntelliWeb. So, actually, it's right in IntelliSketch.
I just let me actually have it open here.
I just wanna look to make sure I'm right here.
I know I'm not sharing my screen,
but if I go to help contents
yes.
So we have the video training course,
and then we have I will actually just change share my
screen here for a minute.
This is an important question.
So if I'm in IntelliSketch and I go to help
help contents, we have about IntelliSketch here.
A lot of the links go to the IntelliSketch product page,
but we have main interface overview.
Like, we have we have quite a bit of documentation here.
So yes. Yes.
We have written documentation as well as video documentation.
Perfect.
We did get a couple of comments here about how the no data
flow blocks makes them sad.
So just be aware.
We got we got nine likes for that.
So Okay.
Yeah. I I hear you on that.
That's that's that's I've heard that quite a bit.
But but as I as I said,
we're we've done a lot of feature equivalent workflows
that make that complexity not necessary.
But as we continue to evolve this product,
we will be adding some more features.
So on the on that product page where we have the feature
equivalent table,
you'll see a green check mark for supported and and orange
for it's coming soon.
You can you can take a look at that.
K.
I see your sad faces and emojis, everybody.
I will share them. Don't worry.
Will we have access to the JSON files and helper
tables EWM slash graphics generator uses
to populate slash filter various menus.
There's an example.
For example, the information pane on the equipment graphics looks for
SP in an AV to populate the set points menu.
This is currently a filter in table object on home dot
d g five JSON.
That that is yeah. I I appreciate the question.
That's super specific. Can you email me that?
I'll I'll get back to you on that one. Yeah.
I I without looking at it right now, I can't can't answer that.
K. Tyler question though. We will yeah.
We'll make a note that if you don't email us,
I'll make sure and follow-up with you on that one.
How are object permissions handled for local SKH graphics?
Sorry. Can you say that one more time?
Yes.
How are object permissions handled for local SKH graphics?
Are you talking embedded graphics or Intelliweb graphics?
I think you're talking embedded graphics.
I think I saw that question pop up when I was talking about that.
Can you
embedded.
Yes.
So,
inside of the embedded web, we have,
configuration options for the graphics users so they can be
read only or they can be read write.
So it is first release is gonna be pretty basic as the user is
gonna be at at I guess,
there's admin which will be read write and then you can
make the graphics user read write or read only.
The follow-up to that question was,
can they have a read only without login?
Yes.
So we have a checkbox in the user experience
to make it kiosk mode,
which will require which is just auto login with no
name and password.
Cool.
Will the embedded graphics work on every hardware revision?
IP based v four controllers,
so not the MSTP ones.
So we will have a full full list of supported ones once
we release it, but I can comfortably say it's it's all
version four IP based controllers.
Cool.
Is Canvas meant to replace Cloud Engineering four?
Yes.
That will
happen probably in about a year's time.
I can't that's not officially my product, canvas,
but that's that's the goal is is it will replace it.
K.
Just a request here. Just gonna comment on it.
Ability for IntelliView to access in red five and have a
kiosk style mode where the graphic remains
active twenty four seven?
No user or minimize user logins.
Yeah. So I believe I answered that already.
That one is when you set up the the device embedded web,
you can say, no username or password
required, and it and it should say,
and it and it should just continue to function.
Perfect.
Will custom palette items work on localized RED five graphics?
Yes.
So that's
yeah.
I gotta be careful how long of an answer I give here, but yeah.
It's it's the answer is yes.
The bulk of the work that we're doing right now in
IntelliSketch is to create a export utility that's
device ready.
So custom palettes are not an issue.
It's actually default delta palettes are an issue right
now, where when you export your graphics,
the default palettes don't come with you.
They auto populate when you import into IntelliWeb.
So what we need to do is we need to export your project,
include the delta defaults that you're using in that package,
and then upload it to the controller because we're not
gonna have full on IntelliSketch inside of a controller.
It's just a viewer. It's not an editor.
So we need to bring in the defaults that are being used
in your project along the way as well as the custom ones,
which is not a problem.
K.
Are there any energy dashboard remote templates included on
this first revision?
Not templates. No. But we do support metering.
Like, you can bring in you can read meter data just like you
can in Intellivis.
K.
Will hot keys like control bracket thing or control
z and all of that be usable?
Yes. Absolutely.
When you right click in
IntelliveSketch, you'll also get prompted of what
those hot keys are.
So, yeah, control d, control z,
control r, all all that stuff should work.
If if you were a beta user,
I know we were having issues with control z for a while,
but it should be working now.
K.
Can you import graphics from IntelliViz into IntelliSketch
or create graphics in eSketch and then export them back into
the eVis systems?
It is a it is a one way action. It's eVis to eSketch.
Yeah.
I would I would suggest you guys I I'm I'm seeing a lot of
the the feedback here on data flow.
We do support a lot of the data flow from Evis in eSketch.
It's just the editing side of it.
And eSketch is is more is, I guess,
not exactly user friendly right now,
but that is that is something that we will improve.
But,
again, evis is not going away.
You can continue to use it on some of your advanced
projects like that you have high maintenance needs on those.
But, first release here of IntelliSketch is is meant to
lessen the learning curve of of creating graphics.
So, again, take a look at that product page,
and you can see the supported data flow
in in eSketch.
K.
On that, it says, you said Intellivis will not be phased out,
but how sure are you since you will serve it separately in the end?
How certain am I that intelligence will not go away?
It appears that is the question.
So licenses are perpetual.
The ones that you currently have,
they'll continue to functions.
So, that that's something that I can say.
We have product continuity agreements in place there.
So
I guess I'll probably just leave it at that that licenses are perpetual.
We have no end of life dates on the product.
K. So pretty darn pretty darn sure.
Good.
Is there or will there be a find and replace feature?
Yes. There is one. I I did I did show one.
Oh, nice. Okay. That might have just been preemptive.
Will the graphics references still be done through instance numbers?
Just curious since sometimes a template can turn into several
if then IO points are slightly different if the IO
points are slightly different.
Sorry.
Yeah. So it is still based on instance numbers.
You can change it through search and replace or the data link list.
I had alluded to our work that's gonna happen in the
future with with building Canvas.
We're going to be integrating tagging capabilities,
which would allow you to do graphics generation through
tags, but that that's still a ways off,
which would mean that doesn't require instant reference
instance references.
K.
When will time schedules be available on the embedded graphics?
Time schedule.
You just you just mean be able to override a
schedule object on a controller?
I guess I don't quite get the question.
But first release, you'll be able to just turn a schedule on or off.
But as we as we evolve our embedded web,
we we do plan on having, like, full on
object page style user experiences.
He came back to change scheduled times change
scheduled times.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that's in the future?
Yes.
K. K.
If EWM module include oh,
I think that's supposed say,
is EWM module included in esketch,
why do we need it for EVIS?
Oh, no. That is. Okay.
So if EWM module is included in esketch,
why do we need it for EVIS?
Okay. Yeah. That's a good question.
I don't remember if I mentioned that in the presentation.
So
oh, hold on.
I I think I got your question.
This is
something we are working on is okay.
So the question is IntelliSketch EWM,
known as graphics generator right now,
doesn't need that external module to work.
So the question is, why do I need it for EVIS?
So I that is something that we're working on is to make
that evis module not needed anymore.
So it just points to the same data source as the esketch one does.
So you don't need to keep updating that external module.
Some people might not know what the heck I'm talking about, but
for those who use the Evis EWM,
our goal here is to not have that external module be needed
anymore because it's not needed in
Sketch.
K.
There's a couple of questions in a row about anything about
data flow slash back end capability.
How will the compatibility of evis data flow blocks work in eSketch?
That something you've kind of already touched on or those two
separate I I have I have touched on that.
Yeah. But yes.
So we we have support levels documented right now.
But, again, our goal of this first version is
to make the graphics creation experience simpler.
But, yeah, this is this is just the beginning.
This is a a releasable product. It works well.
People have already deployed site projects using it,
but we will continue to to add features as we evolve the product.
Perfect. Is there support for Lottie files?
Basically, they are the better version of GIFs,
g I s.
If you could how do you spell that?
I don't see the question.
L o t t I e.
I don't think so. You can try it.
I don't think we've tested that,
but I can we can have that written down to to try.
I'm not familiar with that.
K. I'll make a note of it. Will an HMI be able to sorry.
Will an HMI be to auto log
in to controller hosted graphics as we can with
Eweb?
I think that's probably supposed to say, oh,
it's already been answered.
We're good, I think.
Yeah. Yeah. We do have kiosk mode for embedded graphics.
Yes. Correct. We're good there.
How much documentation will be available for the code base and data flow?
We don't have a lot right now.
But as we continue to
define okay.
So just to back up here,
as I said, our first release here is meant to lessen the learning curve of
creating graphics for new projects.
We're then
prioritizing embedded graphics.
Later this year, what we're going to be doing is improving
our backwards backwards compatibility capabilities,
which we will then give, I guess,
formal answers on our plans of what
full backwards how far we take backwards compatibility into the future.
So right now, we have quite a bit of it.
Like, equipment graphics work well.
Datapoints, for the most part, work well.
But, we need to get more formal on what our,
I guess, forever plans are.
And that'll that'll happen later in the year once we have,
embedded graphics done.
Because I I hope you can understand
the this this blows up the scope of this product if
if we were to release it a hundred percent backwards
compatible and easier to use at the same time.
We wanted to make sure that we accommodate users that,
need to need less of that advanced
feature set right off the gate.
So that's that's why we are releasing it now because we are ready for that.
But, as as we continue to grow this product, we will
add more of the advanced features later on.
So you'll you'll hear from us that with that more formally
later in the year.
Perfect.
And just so everybody knows,
we got about five minutes left in the meeting.
We're gonna keep going through all these questions.
But if anybody does have to hop off,
what we do is I roll all these up into a question and answer
document, and it is sent along with all of the material
from this, so the webinar, the transcript,
as well as the PowerPoint.
So if anybody does have to log off,
you will get a copy of all these questions.
And, Zach, I did realize there's a couple that are
asked and answered in here,
but I'm gonna read them just in case you have a little bit different.
But just tell me asked and answered if not.
So this one seems new.
What type of file is replacing the dot d g five?
And are the previous d g fives backwards compatible with eSketch?
So when you like that example I showed,
when you import d g five files into IntelliSketch,
they become dot s k h files.
So that's a one way,
but we we don't support the other way around That's right.
SKH to d g five.
K.
Is there a way to control how BACnet data is pulled in?
Pulling intervals, if that's the question,
yes.
Believe we have it
I'd have to look now.
I don't remember if we expose that menu to just a second.
Modify. Okay.
We didn't expose it, but, yeah,
we we do have a file where you can configure polling interval
to, like, lower than lower than
five, like, if you want it.
I I think we have some support limitations on that,
or you can make it slower to to ten seconds or more if you you
choose to do so.
So, yes, pulling interval is
is configurable.
I think you answered this one.
Can eSketch palettes be open in eviz?
Currently, no. It's just Evis to eSketch.
K.
Are we still going to be able to bring in APIs and parse
JSON slash iframes?
Yes. So iframes are available now.
They weren't available in the beta versions.
That is iframes are available now.
I believe the string loader block is a supported block on
converted graphics.
I'd need to look at our product page to confirm that.
But, yes, it's if you were to create that in
eviz and move it to eSketch, then, yes, it's it's doable.
K. Same one.
Do you support data flows in eSketch? Asked and answered.
Yes. I've answered that.
K.
And then we just got another one about the pull rates.
You just answered that one as well. Yes.
Are there any energy dashboard templates in the first revision?
We answered that.
I did answer that. Yeah.
Yep.
Does the data control palette support setting the
default value versus manually overriding the present value?
Oh, I
don't know enough about the programming side of things to
fully answer that, but I I believe it's just present value.
There's some GCL magic you can do in the background about
present value, but I'm not not sure on that one.
K.
We can I'll make a note of that one if we wanna answer it later on.
Is there a way to import symbols I've made and perfected
in EVIS to use them in eSketch?
You can you can import them and and give it a give it a try.
Look take a look at our support page for data flow blocks that we support.
If
if it's still not working as you expected and and the
product page says that we support all the data blocks in it,
then then you you can send that to our tech support group for
for feedback, and and we can take a look at it.
So Okay.
Short answer is yes if if if their current
supported data blocks are supported.
K.
So this is kinda a long question,
so we might wanna just revisit this.
Iframe uses the local user information.
There's a problem with WAN installations that
users may are not allowed to directly
connect to IP addresses.
Is there a possibility that there is a built in browser so
the server or embedded device IP is used to open
the external web page?
Is that a question you want them to email you and take?
Yeah. I'm gonna have to take that one offline. K.
K.
What zooming solution is being provided for the zooming into
large graphics?
So we do have a zoom tool available if you go to the page layer,
and there's just a Zoom tool toggle at the very top.
This was a feature we were having problems with in the beta versions.
I think we may have taken it out in one of the beta
versions, but it is back.
But if you look at our release notes,
I believe we have we still have some issues with the Zoom tool,
but it is there in four thirty two.
K.
Does eSketch support navigating trees,
which are available in Eviz?
Navigating trees.
Is that the
re element?
I guess short answer, yes.
You can create tree based navigation using actions
and stuff like that.
But I'd have to look at the feature comparison chart to to
be sure on that.
K. I'll take a note on that one too.
Is there a way to open preview mode in a separate tab rather
than being forced into preview mode within the same tab as the editor?
Oh, that's a good that's a good one.
That's a good feature request.
Currently, no.
I think you would just have to have a different tab of
opening
eSketch to do that.
Yeah.
I guess you would just have a different tab open
with your graphic and then just refresh it each time you save your graphic.
But that's a very good feature request.
I don't think I've actually heard that one.
K.
We got some hearts on it too,
so I'll make sure and take a note for that for you.
Thank you thank you for that.
We have just another comment about the data flow.
So not having data flow is a huge letdown.
So we we've already asked and answered that for now.
Will we be able to load graphics through Proviso app?
That is on the road map for embedded graphics.
I don't I can't speak on,
it it likely won't be first release,
but Proviso is actually one of my products.
So I'm gonna say yes,
but not likely not on first release of embedded graphics.
K.
Secondary follow-up to that was just advanced binding menus
rather than data flow, essentially.
And in parentheses, are we getting script blocks?
So you can do scripting through
the SKH file right now.
Like, if you try a converted graphic,
if you do scripting in EVIS and then convert it to Esketch,
if you look at the SKH file in that code editor,
you will see the JavaScript in there.
So my answer right now is, yes. You can.
You just need to do it through a code editor on the SKH file.
K.
This one's kind of what if we cannot make the functionality
in the new IntelliSketch?
What is the alternative?
I don't really understand that question.
I think just Yeah.
I would I would need specifics if you could if you could Yeah.
Message me on that.
Yeah. K.
How can I access the training material for esketch?
Is it also available for Delta Controls Germany?
That's just through Passport and on Yes.
Through it's through passport training dot delta controls dot com.
It should be you should have access to that as a partner.
Yep. Yes. So that's just on Passport in our training site.
A universal point will be created in the pallet,
question mark, with present value unit,
manual override alarm, etcetera, or only with a single point link?
Yeah.
So
that is on our list in the data control palette.
Right now, there's separate items where it's one for
analog, one for binary.
But I I know what you're asking is it's you just have one that
works for anything.
I believe there's some graphics generator pallet categories
that may do that already,
but I'd I'd have to check.
But I I I understand the the feature requests and,
yeah, it's it's it's not yet,
but we will have that in the future.
K.
I'll make a note of that one too, Zach,
to put in the feature request.
Will you support Python in
IntelliSketch?
If that one, I'm very curious to know the use case of.
I should say the product back end is made using Python.
Front end is React for those who are curious.
But, yeah, that that one's another email.
I wanna know the use case of that.
K. Would you get a couple of thumbs up on that one as well?
So if anybody has use cases for that,
feel free to let us know and email Zach because it did get five thumbs up.
So it might be people have separate use cases for it.
Can you share a link to the feature equivalent comparison
between evis and e sketch?
So what I'll do is I'll actually put in all of the
documentation when you guys get a link to follow-up with all of this.
So that way, everything that Zach has shared,
I will make sure and put into the one link that you guys
will have when it comes to all of this documentation.
So, yes, I will do that.
Will there be I just posted that one.
I I did reference it in the slides a few times.
But, yeah, this is it's on our support page,
on the product page.
Perfect.
And I'll take that,
and I'll include it in the roll up of all of this information as well.
Embedded.
Will there be a table editing functionality for CSVs
similar to what is possible in the data flows of IntelliViz?
Oh, converted graphics work right now.
Like, if you do it in Evis, it will work in in eSketch.
But that's that's what the e but that's what the graphics generator is.
Right?
It's based on
spreadsheets.
But I will say yes on that.
There's tons of use cases of that of being able to create
summaries and stuff based on spreadsheets.
We did a nice user experience for that.
So not not right now, but we we do need to support that.
That's in I should say that's an area that we are
missing a nice user experience for in IntelliSketch is repeaters.
Yes.
Converted graphics will work,
but that is something on our our road map soon is to have a
a nice user experience to create your own repeaters
for you, eve as nerds.
K. Perfect.
Will the v four controllers host their own WLAN or
is external WiFi required to access the embedded web server?
It's all local to the controller, local points.
So I if it's it's offline, it should be fine.
It's to get the graphics on, it's just part of the database.
So however you upload the database to the controller,
once it's there, it's there.
K.
Can you upload the graphic out of the controller and edit then
download back into the Yes.
Yeah. I I should have mentioned that.
So with this being in the file object, yes,
you can export from the file object
and then import it into eviz or pardon me,
into eSketch and then edit it, download it, put it back.
Yes. Absolutely.
K.
Without the data flow blocks,
will it be possible to relativize graphs?
Yes.
So I I blasted through it pretty quick in
in this presentation, but in the training course,
there's a subject called data templating.
Data templating is our,
equivalent of relativization.
Very, very similar workflow,
but it saves a whole bunch of clicks because you're not
needing to open up the data flow block,
find the data flow block, bring it out, find which field.
It's just a right click data template.
It's it's very, very quick.
K.
We'll change this to a custom Sorry.
I just saw Ryan's comment here about his eViz tattoo.
That's funny.
And
Sorry. Keep going.
No. That's okay. That's perfect. We need that.
We need a little levity in the presentations because I'm
I'm just so you know,
I'm skipping a lot of sad faces to data flows.
So I'm just skipping over all of those.
So
will changes to a custom eSketch template also update
projects that were already created from that template?
No.
It is local to the project that you're working on.
This is actually a bit of a workflow change from EVIS where
we may support it in the future if if we if I get a lot of
feedback on this, but we don't support the sharing of
projects through the lib folder that we had a lot of really
ugly tech support cases where,
if you have one project referencing another project,
it can cause, like,
an infinite loop of projects referencing projects.
And if you update one thing,
it affects seventeen other projects,
and it's really hard to track.
So when it comes to updating,
palette categories,
it would be only those pallets that are used in that current
project for for that reason.
It's a it's a safety thing.
But, again, I'm I'm open to supporting this in in the future.
But just from quite a few tech support cases
we saw of allowing that much flexibility in sharing pallet
categories that would cause havoc.
Yeah.
Hopefully, that makes sense.
Are there any special requirements when opening
existing eviz projects in eSketch,
or is it just import and go?
Goodness.
It's it's import and go,
but it it depends how much data flow you used in those evis
graphics if they're if they're supported or not currently.
I guess that's the one caveat,
But the workflow is just upload and go.
K.
With the embedded graphics, since there's no editor,
will we still be able to download the graphics from the
controller to edit them?
We just answered that.
Correct. Yeah.
K. Oh, gosh.
More about data blocks.
But but remember, guys, this is this is release number one.
We're targeting easier to use graphics for for
new projects.
You can continue to
Yeah. But yeah. Loud and clear. Loud and clear.
I know.
Will Delta's tech support continue to support Intellivis projects?
Yes. Absolutely.
There's no end of life plan for for EVIS,
and they'll continue to support it for
a long time to come.
K.
Not a question, but a support.
So I support having simplified graphics in eSketch
as the growth in AI and tagging would lessen the requirement
for making complex graphics.
It would also lessen the learning curve for most people,
and I prefer something that's easier to maintain for service technicians.
Yes. Absolutely.
That's a that's a good comment.
That is the direction that we're taking this product is
when we bring it into Canvas.
It's,
it's going to really make the the graphic
creation process even more efficient.
So that's our goal here.
Ease of use, ease of support for both us and
your own team, service team, and and ease of updates.
That's that's our goal here.
Yes. We like that comment. Thanks, Sandra.
K.
With EWM, we were told you have to use the workflow add on
with the same released version of EVIS.
Will there be that same requirement with eSketch?
They must still be the same version.
I did I did answer this already, but to clarify again,
this is a a good question because I should have included
it on my slides here.
The eSketch version of EWM,
which is called graphics generator,
does not need the external module.
It it's just built into the product.
So saying that, our goal here, hopefully,
very soon is to make the external module not needed for
EVIS.
It can just point to that same data source that the
eSketch one is pointing to.
So, yeah, that's in our our plans very soon.
K. Will it be backwards compatible with evis?
I know you can copy from the eSketch.
We already answered that.
Jack O'Neill said this product is for us newbies with an
awesome exclamation point after it.
Thanks, Jack. We love that.
You should go get a you should go get an eSketch tattoo with
Ryan.
There you go. There you go.
They can each have one. That'll be fun. Matching tats.
Are we still going to have access to a robust array or
all of the HTML five properties?
Yeah.
I guess I'll I'll use the answer I've used a few times of
of it it's a it's a support level thing.
So if you're referring to data flow again,
we we support quite a few of them, but but not all of them.
The the more advanced features will will come later on in in
Perfect.
Okay. We just yep. We got a few thank yous here.
Thanks, Zach, from all of us at Rebel. Is that how we say that?
It has to be a property for but that was just going back to another one.
Hendra and the team down there said that, oh, Zach,
you should consider making ASMR YouTube videos with your soothing voice.
We got a lot of emojis on that one.
Yeah. I know. I'm kinda boring, but I try.
I try to make up for it with my I try to make up for it with dad jokes.
So
Okay.
Just another this would be very nice.
I agree that it will be implemented on
We'll answer that one later.
Will you support will you support full featured trend log charts?
So we have charting capabilities in IntelliSketch
that that is similar comment to the Zoom question earlier.
That is an area that still needs some improvements.
We have quite a few known issues with
charting still in IntelliSketch,
but they should be documented in our release notes.
To clarify, if you go to that support page,
support slash IntelliSketch,
we have standalone release notes for IntelliSketch.
They're not part of Eweb release notes.
They have their own release notes, just so you know.
K.
Will IntelliSketch be automatically fit will it
automatically fit laptop, tablet, and mobile?
So, like, does it scale?
That'll be covered in the training course,
or that is covered in the training course.
So is if you create all your groups and stuff like that
using percentages rather than pixels,
they will scale accordingly based on the size of your screen.
So yes.
K.
This may have already been answered,
but will EVIS continue to receive updates and
improvements with each new e web version,
or is EVIS in its final state?
I should say that we haven't done an Evis update in quite a long time.
So you probably haven't you you haven't seen anything new in
Evis in in quite a long time.
But we will still fix, you know,
critical issues if they if they were to come up.
But it's it's been probably a couple
years, I think, now since we've even had a new EVISS version.
So no plans for new events
versions, but we'll continue to support it as I as I said.
K.
And on that, somebody just commented,
will you make the how to videos for eSketch,
but that is covered in a lot of the training document.
I should say, yes.
I'm volunteering Bruce's group beca and Travis's group.
I don't know if they're on this call.
But we did the training course as a
starting point here, but how to videos are a very good idea.
Those are, like, task oriented, like, two minute.
This is how I override a point type of thing.
So, yes, you will see those from us,
and they'll continue to evolve.
The the training courses, those videos are not super long.
I made sure that they were I think the intro video is twenty
minutes, but the rest of them are ten to fifteen minutes max.
So they're not super long videos.
But good question.
And
Bruce Bruce's tech support group will will be making them.
Perfect.
Sorry. It won't be my soothing voice.
It's okay.
We'll find somebody.
Can you please elaborate on the road map for the IntelliSketch licensing?
Will it just be a choice between eSketch and Evos,
or will we have to get a license for both?
We the the the plan here is to just keep them in oh, okay.
I have a better answer for this.
So the plan for quite a while is to just
have them paired together.
But a detail that I haven't mentioned yet is in user
permissions inside of eWeb, you can choose to disable
one or the other.
So if you don't wanna expose eSketch to somebody yet or evis
to people anymore, you can hide it from users.
So I I should mention that.
But the the idea here is to just
pair them together.
It's it's buy one, get both.
We're not double charging you or anything like that.
It's it's they're paired together,
same prices what you're used to.
K.
On the line of mobile compatibility,
does flex sizing still exists to help with formatting group
sizes and wrapping?
I'd have to check.
I don't remember if we exposed the flex shrink,
flex grow properties.
If if we didn't in
in beta, I don't think so yet,
but that's a that's a good feature request.
K. I'll make a note of that feature request also.
Same thing. Will there be the training slash user manual?
We did already cover that, so it is linked in there.
So it's also linked above.
Is there is there a way to hide esketch
in the four point three one version from customers?
We should have that feature in there.
The if you go to group permissions under manage
graphics, there should be child checkboxes there that check
eSketch or Evis.
I'm pretty sure we did that in four thirty one in the beta version.
Yeah. I'm quite sure it's there.
If it's not, you can message me on that.
K.
Are all the templates and data point symbols mobile compatible?
So this is a browser based product.
So, as long as you're using a a supported browser like like
Chrome, then, yes,
it it depends how, I guess, you create your graphics.
You wanna make sure that they they shrink and expand accordingly.
But, yeah, the palette categories and symbols,
they're within a group.
So you wanna make sure the bigger group you have them
inside of is percentage based so it shrinks and grows.
So,
yes, the short answer.
Perfect.
I'm gonna need I'm gonna need to lay down after all these questions.
These are really good questions.
No.
To be fair, there were a few things in there that said way to go to be
able to just answer all these on the fly.
Yes. And that's we had a lot. But that was it.
That was all of the questions.
Unless anybody has anything last minute,
what I can do is I can let you guys actually chat if anybody
needs to chat, but I I think that that's all the questions.
Zach, do you have anything else last minute?
I love the engagement here, guys. Thank you.
Thank you so much for for all the questions.
But, yeah, as I said, this is this is just the beginning.
This is this is release one of IntelliSketch.
You can start using it to deploy projects.
We'll continue to evolve it, bring it into controllers,
add some more features.
And first one to get an
IntelliSketch tattoo and send it to me will will get a prize of some sort.
So I I look forward to that.
Oh.
And, yes, just as a couple of follow-up things.
If anybody did have a specific question that Zach said
that he would follow-up to, if you can email us,
that would be great.
If I don't hear from you guys,
then I will try and track you down,
but it would be easier if you email us.
And then, like I said,
we will be bundling all of this up and sending it out for everybody.
Oh, Tom came in last minute.
Will there be a set schedule for Ewebs release dates in the future?
So So
in Telenwap, we release three major versions a year.
So our target release dates for those are February,
June, October.
So, usually, they're pretty late in those months,
so they quite often kind of flow into the following week.
So I guess I should adjust adjust that statement and say
it's likely early March, early July, early November.
You'll see versions from us.
And then if you go a month earlier than that,
that's beta versions of each of those versions.
So,
yeah, we we do have consistency in our
IntelliSketch version with them as well.
So that that's some consistency for you.
Perfect.
Okay.
Is there anything else without further ado?
People can unmute themselves now if they absolutely need to
to talk to the one and only.
But I think other than that,
it should be good.
Thanks, Zach. Have a great day. You, guys. Love the occasion.
Thank you. Thanks, Zach.
No problem. Thanks, everyone.
Make sure you come to the next one. PDS, March twenty fifth.
It'll be just as good.
Good deal.
Lot of highs to Greg. People people really missed Greg.
K.
I need to go lay down. That was fun. That was good.
Good. Good. Yes. I'm glad.
Well, you're doing another one in a couple of months,
so it'll be good.
That was very good.
Cool. Okay.
Well, I'm gonna close it out,
and I will follow-up and do all the emails.
Cool. Alright. Bye, everyone.
