¶ Incident Timeline
The Pulse Timeline Page provides a comprehensive view of operational deviations, warnings, and incidents over a selected timeframe. It allows users to monitor critical parameters, analyze anomalies, and take proactive measures to maintain system integrity.
This document explains all features and functionalities, including navigation, buttons, color-coded indicators, and interactive elements.
To access the timeline page.
Login to Pulse→ Click on Advance → Click on Timeline as Shown in the figure below.

¶ 1. Left Top Section: Critical Warning Deviation
- Displays high-priority warnings and deviations.
- Alerts are categorized by severity, with three color-coded representations:
- Dark Red: Represents most critical incidents. These incidents require immediate attention without any delay.
- Medium Red: High-priority warnings requiring attention. the incident requires immediate attention but is not a top priority.
- Light Red: Less severe deviations. The incidents that deviate from expected values but do not require urgent attention.

¶ 2. Timeline View
The central area displays a time-based representation of incidents and anomalies across selected dates.
Key Features:
- Horizontal time grid: Represents days and weeks.
- Incident Bars:
- Different shades of red indicate incident severity, the darker the shade more critical the incident is.
- Clicking on an incident expands details and visual analytics.
- Failure Visibility Toggle:
- The "Show failures" checkbox, when enabled, highlights the time periods where the unit encountered unexpected failures. These failures are represented by a horizontal line spanning the corresponding duration on the timeline.

¶ 3. Date Selection Panel
- Located at the top-right corner.
- Allows users to select and modify the date range for which incidents should be displayed.
- Clicking the calendar icon opens a date picker for quick adjustments.
- Users can choose a date range for incident display, including month, quarter, custom range, and more.

¶ 4. Zoom In & Zoom Out Buttons
- Enables users to adjust the timeline granularity.
- Zoom In ( + ): Provides a more detailed view of incidents displayed on the screen's center.
- Zoom Out ( - ): Expands the view to analyze a longer duration at a glance. This means the user can view more incidents as the screen shows a zoom-out version.
