A condition monitoring system can include a memory and a processor. The memory can receive datasets associated with respective ones of a plurality of components in an industrial environment. The components can include machines and devices. The processor can receive datasets from the memory and generate a first GUI. The first GUI can display, in a first GUI portion, a hierarchical component list and a list of views for the components. The first GUI can also display, in a second GUI portion, a first visualization defined by a first hierarchical list component and a first view of list of views. The first GUI can further display a first navigation object overlaid with the first visualization. The first navigation object can be associated with a second visualization, different from the first visualization. The second GUI portion to display the second visualization in response to selection of the first navigation object.

A system for providing help content to an industrial portable device includes a computer network within a plant with a help server. The industrial portable device includes a computer processor with a help application that provides help content regarding the use of the industrial portable device and/or other control applications on the industrial portable device. The help server can modify the help content in the help application, for example with help updates. The help application is separate and independent of the other control applications and can be modified independently of the other control applications. The industrial portable device may be a portable field device communicator and/or intrinsically safe.
