Method and system for configuring a user interface (ui) for a user of a building management system

A system for automatically configuring a user interface (UI) for a user of a building management system for an enterprise, the system comprising:

• a database comprising:
• a plurality of UI templates, each UI template of the plurality of UI templates being linked to at least one type of data;
• and
• a plurality of datapoints generated by the building management system, each datapoint of the plurality of datapoints generated by the building management system corresponding to a respective one of the types of data and being linked to at least one UI template of the plurality of UI templates;
• a processor in communication with the database, the processor being configured to:
• identify a role associated with the user, the role being specific to a function of the enterprise;
• and
• identify a subset of UI templates of the plurality of UI templates based on the identified role associated with the user;
• and
• a display in communication with the processor, the display being configured to display the identified subset of UI templates as the UI and the datapoints linked to the identified subset of UI templates, respectively.

A method for automatically configuring a user interface (UI) displayed at a workstation of a building management system for different users of the workstation of the building management system, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of UI templates, each UI template of the plurality of UI templates being linked to at least one type of data;
• storing, by a memory, a plurality of datapoints generated by the building management system, each datapoint of the plurality of datapoints generated by the building management system corresponding to a respective one of the types of data and being linked to at least one UI template of the plurality of UI templates;
• identifying, by a processor, a first role associated with a first user at the workstation of the building management system, the first role being specific to a function of an enterprise for which the building management system is operated;
• identifying, by the processor, a first subset of UI templates of the plurality of UI templates based on the identified first role associated with the first user;
• displaying, by a display, the identified first subset of UI templates as the UI and the datapoints linked to the identified first subset of UI templates, respectively;
• identifying, by the processor, a second role associated with a second user at the workstation of the building management system, the second user being different than the first user and the second role being different than the first role;
• identifying, by the processor, a second subset of UI templates of the plurality of UI templates based on the identified second role associated with the second user, the second subset of UI templates being different than the first subset of UI templates;
• and
• reconfiguring the UI, the reconfiguring of the UI comprising displaying, by the display, the identified second subset of UI templates as the UI and the datapoints linked to the identified second subset of UI templates, respectively.
