I don't know exactly what you mean, but I'll take a shot at what I think
you're asking.
I made a simple display with bar graphs (rectangles with their fill levels
configured to the STATION block) representing each CP in the refinery. That
display gives me a snapshot of the day-to-day load. Each rectangle is about
1 inch square to quickly get my attention. Included in each rectangle is
the name of the CP, the overflow counter, and the loading percentage number.
Above each rectangle is a brief (1-3 word) description of what area of the
process is loaded on that CP. (On a side note, I use this CP process
description more often than anything else on the page. For example, if I
have to find a sequence block in a particular compound, I'll pull up this
display before picking the SELECT button. I can usually get the correct CP
on the first try.)
There are three buttons at the bottom of the display. Two require picking a
CP rectangle first. One clears the overflow counter on the selected CP and
the other takes you to the STATION block detail display. The third button
is a simple, "Previous Display" button.
With this display, I can do a quick check on the CP loading in the entire
refinery at a glance. If I need more information, I can go directly to any
of the STATION block detail pages.
I hope this helps.

Does anyone have a good rule of thumb to check CP loading without spending
lots of time.
Thanks,
