Better detail in column headings for energy intensity

The column headings on certain charts are missing a key piece of information; this calls into question the accuracy of the calculation. In this case, I'm referring to energy intensity. The column headings could use a bit of clarification and, even better, a link to your knowledge base. In an assets view, go to TRACK >> PERFORMANCE then change the second menu to "View as Energy (kWh)". Look at the "activity by period" chart. When you click on the arrow to get the data grid, you'll see this column heading: "Energy (kWh) / Floor space" in there. This columns heading could be better named I think. Something to indicate that it's an instantaneous rather than an accumulative KPI. 

Ideally, there would also be an "i" (information) link to your KB in this view to allow the user to read up on how this calculation is done. https://knowledgebase.envizi.com/home/performance#Performance-ImportantNoteonIntensityCalculations

    Hi Dan - thanks for the awesome idea.

    Providing an info icon on gadgets and charts and link to knowlege base articles are certainly helpful.

    We have recorded your idea here and will review it together with other user interface enhancement items for future releases.
