Problem:  Users requested a main page that will help them watch real time incidents by location and severity.

Solution:  Dividing the screen to two main features - Adding an Incident report scroll bar at the top of the screen that updates automatically and presents incoming incidents on the map below. Incidents can be sorted by severity, type, time and more.
When user clicks an incident on the top bar - The map focuses on the incident location and additional incident information appears on the bottom of the screen.

Large facilities using the Octopus platform needed more than a live list of current visitors. Security officers and operations managers complained that the system lacked historical data and visual insights to help them spot trends, justify staffing levels, or quickly detect unusual patterns.

Problem:

• The original Visitors screen only showed who was currently onsite.
• Users had no visibility into daily or monthly visitor counts, types of visitors, or how many were delayed.
• This limitation forced them to export raw logs and compile reports manually.

Approach:

• Conducted interviews with control room staff to define their reporting needs.
• Added top "Statistics Cards" for quick at-a-glance counts by visitor type
• Added a Monthly View bar chart to visualize daily volume trends, highlighting verified vs. unverified visits.
• Included a Visitor Types donut chart for an instant understanding of visitor distribution

Outcome

• The new dashboard enabled users to identify anomalies (e.g., sudden spikes or frequent delays) directly on the screen
• Reduced manual report preparation time
• Received positive feedback from sites, which reported faster incident resolution and better situational awareness
