A condition monitoring system, comprising: a memory configured to receive one or more datasets associated with respective ones of a plurality of components in an industrial environment, wherein the components include machines and devices configured to acquire operating parameters measured directly from sensors and calculated therefrom; a processor configured to receive the one or more datasets from the memory and to generate a first graphical user interface GUI, wherein the first GUI is configured to: display, in a first portion of the first GUI, a hierarchical list of the components and a list of display views corresponding to respective components of the hierarchical list; display, in a second portion of the first GUI, a first visualization defined by a first component selected from the hierarchical list and a first display view selected from the list of display views; characterized in that the first GUI is configured to: display a customized first navigation object overlaid with the first visualization, the customized first navigation object associated with a second visualization, different from the first visualization; whereby the customized first navigation object is generated by a user allowing a user to navigate directly between said first and second visualizations that can be rendered within the first GUI regardless of their relative positions within the hierarchical list, whereby the relative positions of first and second visualizations are not adjacent to one another; and update the second portion of the first GUI to display the second visualization in response to selection of the customized first navigation object. a memory configured to receive one or more datasets associated with respective ones of a plurality of components in an industrial environment, wherein the components include machines and devices configured to acquire operating parameters measured directly from sensors and calculated therefrom; a processor configured to receive the one or more datasets from the memory and to generate a first graphical user interface GUI, wherein the first GUI is configured to: display, in a first portion of the first GUI, a hierarchical list of the components and a list of display views corresponding to respective components of the hierarchical list; display, in a second portion of the first GUI, a first visualization defined by a first component selected from the hierarchical list and a first display view selected from the list of display views; characterized in that the first GUI is configured to: display a customized first navigation object overlaid with the first visualization, the customized first navigation object associated with a second visualization, different from the first visualization; whereby the customized first navigation object is generated by a user allowing a user to navigate directly between said first and second visualizations that can be rendered within the first GUI regardless of their relative positions within the hierarchical list, whereby the relative positions of first and second visualizations are not adjacent to one another; and update the second portion of the first GUI to display the second visualization in response to selection of the customized first navigation object. display, in a first portion of the first GUI, a hierarchical list of the components and a list of display views corresponding to respective components of the hierarchical list; display, in a second portion of the first GUI, a first visualization defined by a first component selected from the hierarchical list and a first display view selected from the list of display views; characterized in that the first GUI is configured to: display a customized first navigation object overlaid with the first visualization, the customized first navigation object associated with a second visualization, different from the first visualization; whereby the customized first navigation object is generated by a user allowing a user to navigate directly between said first and second visualizations that can be rendered within the first GUI regardless of their relative positions within the hierarchical list, whereby the relative positions of first and second visualizations are not adjacent to one another; and update the second portion of the first GUI to display the second visualization in response to selection of the customized first navigation object.
