Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software / Computerised maintenance management system (CMMS)
Spanish term or phrase: Cuadro Sinoptico
Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me with the term "cuadro sinoptico". It is a term used to describe graphic displays within a CMMS (computerised maintenance management system - Gestion de Mantenimiento Asistido por Ordenador, GMAO in Spanish) for industrial installation maintenance management.

Here is the context:

CUADROS SINOPTICOS:
Visualización gráfica en tiempo real de avisos, incidencias, órdenes de trabajo y cambios estado de sobre diagramas sinópticos de máquinas e instalaciones.
El usuario puede navegar entre estos planos y visualizar en ellos alertas gráficas provocadas por averías en equipos o mantenimientos pendientes de realización.
Estas alertas son configurables mediante reglas que permiten definir qué equipos (según criticidad, tipología, etc.) o qué tipos de mantenimientos deben visualizarse en los sinópticos y de qué manera (icono a mostrar, con intermitencia o sin ella...)

There was a previous Proz discussion on this term but it was relating to Cuadros Sinopticos in a learning context which doesn't really apply.

I have considered:
- Synoptic chart - but it seems like this generally refers to surface pressure charts in English
- Tree diagram - the structure of the diagram seems similar to cuadro sinoptico (http://www.cuadrosinoptico.com/)
- Mind map - commonly used for Cuadro Sinoptico but I can't find many references to mind map in the context of CMMS
- Flow diagram
But I am not sure which should apply or if there is another term that can be used. Any help would be appreciated.

Dashboards


Explanation:
Based on the description provided, these sound like dashboards to me, which are defined as:
"An easy to read, often single page, real-time user interface, showing a graphical presentation of the current status (snapshot) and historical trends of an organization’s key performance indicators (KPIs) to enable instantaneous and informed decisions to be made at a glance."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashboard_(business)

Synoptic means of or forming a general summary or synopsis, i.e., an overview, which is just what a dashboard provides.

Seems logical to me anyway.

Synoptic panel


Explanation:
Medium confidence level, because I'm not sure if this is what your text refers to:
Description: The Synoptic Panel connects areas in a picture with attributes in the data model, coloring each area with a state (red/yellow/green) or with a saturation of a color related to the value of a measure. Starting from any image, you draw custom areas using http://synoptic.design/, which generates a JSON file you import in the Synoptic Panel. You can visualize data over a map, a planimetry, a diagram, a flow chart.

Or, (pax Matt, see above) "synoptic display panel"...

NB: I can't agree or disagree with James, but AFAIK the "dashboards" he cites are usually called "cuadro de mando" in Spanish:

I think the right answer will probably be either Jame's sugestion or mine/Matt's, but would need more context to be sure...
