Greenbyte Ideas

Our approach to product feedback

Here at Power Factors, we take product feedback extremely seriously. We believe that listening to our customers, team members, and prospects - by taking their ideas on board - is a sure-fire way to build better products.
We use your feedback to identify the most important features, ideas, pain points, and opportunities so that you can get more value from our products as efficiently as possible.


The benefits of giving us your product feedback

If you take the time to submit your product feedback to us, it means that you have a direct say in how our products develop over time. It means that your ideas are valued and listened to, rather than filed away and ignored.
Ultimately, it allows us to work with you to build the best products we possibly can.

What happens to your product feedback

Our product teams meet regularly with the CSMs, to go through new ideas. Once we have verified that an idea isn’t already available in the system, and seems like a good idea, we change the status to Accepting Votes. Then more people can vote, prioritize, and give us information. This allows us to gauge demand, gather use cases, and establish impact & value.

If we decide to implement an idea, the status will change to Planned or In Development. When it’s done, the status will change to Delivered. Anyone who has submitted or voted on a specific request will be notified when the status of the request is updated. We will always provide an explanation as to the nature of the status update.

Unfortunately, not all requests are in line with our vision and strategy, so sometimes we reject them. When this happens, the status will be changed to Archived and we’ll add a note to let you know that it won’t be delivered.


How we choose what to implement

When we plan a release, we use many factors to help decide which suggestions to implement, including:

  • Customer feedback - there are many ways we listen for your feedback:
    formal customer interviews and other research activities
    events like conferences and trade shows
    comments and votes on issues here in Greenbyte & BluePoint Influence
  • CSM team insights - our CSM team knows which issues are the most challenging and most common for customers.
  • Product analytics - we track how users move through the system, which helps us understand how existing features are being used.
  • Product strategy - our long-term strategic vision for the products.
If you reach out directly to our support or customer success teams, they'll be able to look up the ideas for you, but they won't have any additional information or provide an estimate for when your item will be reviewed.


Custom applications

Sometimes you need functionality that is specific to your needs and not necessarily useful for other customers or in line with Power Factors strategic goals. These special requests are addressed through custom applications, which can be developed by you, using the Greenbyte API, by third-party partners, or by Power Factors for an additional fee. If you are interested in having a custom application built, contact your CSM.

  1. Additional Task Category

    Would it be possible to add a category "Miscellaneous" to the list of task categories. Right now there is one called unknown which sort of does the job. However, when displaying the tasks in our monthly reports to our customers, that particular category name might imply that we lack information regarding the subject. It would be preferable if something more neutral like "Miscellaneous" would exist.

  2. Reminder notifications for Tasks

    When using the Task module, a "Reminder" feature would send an email out to recipients a certain time in advance of important works going ahead e.g. an upcoming grid outage, to ensure they are prepared for the upcoming event.

    Good news: This is already possible! On your task categories, you can configure default reminders for the category. Those can be overridden on individual tasks.

    If you need help setting this up, contact support@greenbyte.com

  3. Edit Data Exports

    Incorporate the ability to edit existing data exports. Sometimes an option is set by mistake. Instead of creating a new data export from scratch it would be beneficial to open a previous export to make the minor change.

  4. Calculate Energy Theoretical from different sources of Potential Power

    Today, Energy Theoretical is only calculated from the first source of Potential Power in the assigned Potential Power Order. It would be good to have, such as we have different Potential Power signals, to get the Energy Theoretical from all of these sources.

    the meta data entries are very helpful, but would it possible to add the project manager additionally to the deputy project manager?

  8. Remove pageSize limitation or set it to none by default

    When trying to get the statuses data I was surprised to see a pageSize parameter which was not present for data request. What is the point to have a pageSize limit here as usually when you request data for a specific time interval you would usually want the full data/statuses for this specific interval?

    Thanks

  9. Create active status events

    It is sometimes necessary to create active status events in GEC, normally during periods of no communications. Although this is not an option when creating status events, there was a work-around that has recently been disabled. As a result we now have to contact the support team to create active status events.

    Having this functionality as an option would improve our internal reporting and also reduce the number of requests sent to Greenbyte support team.

    Considering the current architecture of the system, this is not possible to achieve. We will look into it and determine if we could consider something on these lines for the future.

  10. component in status categorization

    There is a feature in status categorization where you can assign every turbine stop to a certain component. No additional analyses can be done on these components. It is also not possible to export this tag and perform analyses that way. would it be possible to export the component tag for every stop?

  12. Add a "copy" feature to dashboard windows

    In the hamburger button in the upper right corner of each window in the dashboard, add a "copy" feature to quickly copy a picture of the contents of the window (chart, graph, etc) to the clipboard in order to easily and cleanly paste the information into an email or document.

    Hi,

    Most dashboard widgets, via the hamburger icon, can be opened up directly in Data Studio. From Data Studio, via the hamburger icon, you can export the widget as an image.

  13. Double text displayed for statuses categorisation

    Please remove the background text when searching a status category for clearer view.

    Hi Maël,
    This is a bug and has been added to our bug backlog. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

  14. REMIT compliant view in Breeze

    We would need to prevent access to certain kind of information for some of our Breeze users, and wish that we could be able customize their view to be REMIT compliant. This could mean for example removing the possibility to view the current, near past (~1 hour) and future output of the power plant, while allowing access to wind and temperature data.

  17. New variable: active status during 10-min bin

    We would need a calculated variable for all devices with the main status code active for each 10-min data bin (if any).

    This would be very helpful for deeper checks and analyses being able to treat specific 10-min data points depending on the status that was active (i.e bat shutdown related status, shadow flicker, power curtailment, etc etc)

    A specific example: we want to check if the turbine was stopping too much in reason "bat protection". For this, we need to filter out any other stops that are not related to bat protection.

    Another specific sample: we need to prove…

    This is currently not possible to achieve, but if I read your request correctly, I believe a good way around to achieve this would be to create 2 widgets on the Analyze section:

    1. Dirty Dozen, filtering by Curtailment statuses only.
    2. Status Overview, filtering by Curtailment statuses only.

    Please contact your CSM in case of doubts.

  18. Widget showing active status events

    To be allowed to add a widget showing active status events in View dashboards.

    Thanks for your input. The overview dashboards are meant to give a brief look at the most important KPIs but without the noise of detailed information. For having an overview with status events added you can create a custom dashboard under Monitor>Portfolio or Monitor > Wind Farm.

  19. Export/Import Status Categorization

    The ability to export the status categorization page to an excel file and import bulk changes would make large/frequent changes to the status categorization easier for some users.
