Theme

There are light and dark themes available in several different color pallets. The Design Dark mode has the highest contrast.

Refresh Interval

The Refresh Interval user setting enables the monitoring pages (and any other pages with widgets) to automatically show the latest data. This setting is user specific and is defaulted to none. If set to none, a user must refresh the page browser to check for latest data. If a user is intending to leave a monitoring page up on a control room screen or in the background to keep tabs on operating assets, setting the refresh interval to 2 or 5 minutes can be useful. The Renewable Suite is typically updating every 10minutes, therefore the refresh interval is checking for updates each 2 or 5 minutes but will only show new data once the next 10 minute data is available. You can see the Last Updated at timestamp in the header of the pages to make clear when the latest data is from.

Reset Password

If you are having trouble logging in to the platform then to reset the password you can use Forgot Password? prompt on the platform login page. If you are already signed in to the platform then you can use the Reset Password option in User Settings to reset your account password.

In both cases you would be shown the screen below to enter your email address. Once you confirm your account email address you will receive an email with details to reset your password.

❗️Security Warning

Do not share your account details with any other user, even within your own organization, or with anyone on the SparkCognition Team. We will never ask you for your password over email or otherwise at any time. If you have reason to believe that your account was compromised then contact SparkCognition Support immediately to secure the account.
