Business Views

Monitor the real-time status of processes at a glance with Business Views. With these graphical representations you can easily understand overall progress of a workflow and drill down into task-specific details. Kanban, PERT, Critical Path, Gantt and Radial views and other analytics allow you to choose the best way to access operational information you need:

• Active, Completed, Normal and Abnormal status of tasks
• Tasks waiting on resources or dependencies
• Interdependencies between tasks
• A job’s critical path and tasks that must complete before the job will run
• How jobs are progressing over time and relationships between jobs

Business Activity Tags

Build customized dynamic schedule views for the stakeholders and teams that rely on Tidal to manage their critical processes. Business Activity Tags allow you to filter and present job information to meet the specific needs of each group of users. Tags let you use your own classification approach, such as business structure, job lifecycle stage, data center, etc. Tags can be organized hierarchically, and you can even apply multiple tags to a single job.

SLA and Critical Jobs Tracking

Our service level management capability enables you to track status of critical jobs and performance against SLAs. You define the SLA policies for your critical jobs – then Tidal automates the monitoring of those jobs and issues alerts if the SLAs are at risk or have been missed, depending on the policy you set. Policies can include start and end times as well as “at risk” and “breach” windows of time for varying degrees of alerting or alarm. Use Business Activity Tags to identify the SLAs that are important to you and filter by jobs that have been tagged as critical.

Mobile Features and Flexibility

The Tidal Automation Mobile app for iPhone gives you on-the-fly management and control of the most common commands in your Tidal system. Our mobile management capabilities let you filter and view adapter and agent connections, jobs, alerts and events. You can easily manage override, hold-and-stop and release-and-resume commands as well as schedules, queues and logs.
