## Abstract

Methods, mediums, and systems include use of a system manger application in a data processing system to create a replay in a graphical user interface, to receive replay criteria, identify any replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, and replay functions corresponding to the replay criteria from among the plurality of devices, sensors, and actuators, identify a replay time period corresponding to the replay criteria, gather replay data for the identified replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, or replay functions corresponding to the replay criteria that was generated during the replay time period, and display the replay in the graphical user interface according to the replay data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for creating a replay in a graphical user interface of a building management system comprising the steps of:
maintaining a system manager application in a data processing system of a management system configured to perform building management system functions and to provide a graphical user interface; and
running the system manager application to:
receive replay criteria;
identify any replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, and replay functions corresponding to the replay criteria;
identify a replay time period corresponding to the replay criteria;
gather replay data for the identified replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, or replay functions corresponding to the replay criteria that was generated during the replay time period, wherein the replay data is gathered in response to detecting a room temperature exceeding a set point; and
display the replay in the graphical user interface according to the replay data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the system manager application also performs a smart pause of the replay to display a smart analysis with associated historical data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the smart analysis includes one or more of a system activity log, application logs from an event viewer, or system diagnostic logs.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the replay time period is determined based on the replay criteria by identifying the starting and ending points of the replay time period based on defined data conditions.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the replay criteria includes data conditions based on when one or more data points meet or pass a threshold.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the replay data is historical data for the identified replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, or replay functions, including some or all data points gathered by the identified replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, or replay functions during the replay time period.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the replay criteria includes a first identified device, and the replay devices include the first identified device and other devices that are necessary for, affect, or are affected by the operation of the identified device.

### Claim 8

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed, causes at least one processor to run in a data processing system of a management system, perform building management system functions, and provide a graphical user interface, by:
receiving replay criteria;
identifying any replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, and replay functions corresponding to the replay criteria;
identifying a replay time period corresponding to the replay criteria;
gathering replay data for the identified replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, or replay functions corresponding to the replay criteria that was generated during the replay time period, wherein the replay data is gathered in response to detecting a room temperature exceeding a set point; and
displaying the replay in the graphical user interface according to the replay data.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)
