# Vents Dashboard

> View and manage venting events with the Vents dashboard.

The Vents tab provides a view of all documented venting events across your sites. Use this tab to monitor vent status, identify abnormal venting behaviour, edit vent data, and export data for reporting.

<Info>
  **What you'll learn:**

  * How to view and filter vent data
  * How to use map and table views
  * How to edit vent records
  * How to export vent data
</Info>

## Before you start

Ensure you have:

* Access to the Fugitive Emission Dashboards feature

## Understanding the Vents tab

### Vent statuses

Each vent has one of the following statuses:

| Status          | Colour | Description                                          |
| --------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Abnormal**    | Red    | Venting behaviour is abnormal and requires attention |
| **Normal**      | Green  | Venting is within normal operating parameters        |
| **Not Venting** | Purple | No active venting                                    |

### Key data fields

The Vents table displays important information for each vent:

* **Vent ID** — Unique identifier for the vent record
* **Site** — The site where the vent is located
* **Detection Date** — When the vent was documented
* **Duration** — How long the venting event lasted
* **Emissions Rate** — Measured emissions rate
* **Volume** — Total volume of emissions
* **Component** — The equipment component
* **Process Block** — The process area within the site
* **Status** — Current vent status

## Viewing and filtering vents

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Vents tab">
    Navigate to the Fugitive Emission Dashboards and select the **Vents** tab from the tab bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your view mode">
    Select the view that works best for your task:

    * **Split view** — See both map and table side-by-side
    * **Map view** — Full-screen map with colour-coded markers
    * **Table view** — Full-screen data grid with all columns
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter by site">
    Use the **Site** dropdown to filter vents for a specific site, or clean up the filter to view all vents.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the date range">
    Choose from preset date ranges or set a custom range. You can filter by:

    * **Detected** — Filter by the detection date (when the vent was first documented)
    * **Updated** — Filter by the last updated date (when the vent record was last modified)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter by status">
    Click on status badges in the legend to show or hide vents by status. This is useful for focusing on abnormal venting that requires attention.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search by Vent ID">
    Use the search field to find a specific vent by its Vent ID.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle historical data">
    Use the historical data toggle to include or exclude records imported from previous systems.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Using map and table views

### Map view

The map displays vents as colour-coded markers based on their status. Interact with the map to:

* **Zoom and pan** to navigate to different areas
* **Click markers** to open the detail blade
* **Use spatial filtering** to filter by the current map viewport

### Table view

The table provides a detailed data grid with:

* **Sortable columns** — Click column headers to sort
* **Groupable columns** — Group by Site, Component, Process Block, or Status
* **Column visibility** — Show or hide columns as needed
* **Row highlighting** — Hover highlights corresponding map marker
