Dashboard

icon-dash Dashboards allow users to create customized views of their data in visually appealing layouts using animated gauges, charts, lists, maps and other graphical controls.

Dashboards contain user configurable tiles which can be linked to Nodes to display your important data in real-time with live updates. Tile layout is automatically adjusted on mobile devices.

Security

The Security section displays a list of all users and groups that have access to the Node. Users with security permission can restrict user and group access to the node and its descendants by assign the No Access role.

New users and groups must be added via the Workspace Security section.

Note

The Account Owner, Administrators or Workspace users/groups that have been assigned a Workspace role with the configure permission can not be assigned the No Access role.


Public access

Enabling public access allows anyone to view the node (attachment, chart, dash, report or historic data) using the generated URL.

You can also embed charts and dashboards into your own website with basic HTML. Select Copy embed HTML from the URL dropdown menu for a generic code snippet (you will need to paste this in to your website). You can also revoke and replace the automatically assigned URL by selecting the Generate new URL option in the menu.

Use the available options to customize the URL based on your display preferences. These options are transient and you can use multiple variations of the URL at the same time.

Note

This feature is not included in Starter accounts.


Copy/Paste Dashboards

icon-paste Copy/Paste operations can be performed from the Workspaces Tree to quickly duplicate one or more dashboards. Links are automatically re-assigned to corresponding Nodes relative to the Dashboard if they exists at the destination. ie. You can copy/paste complete Locations containing Dashboards without manually re-assigning all Links.


Move Dashboards

icon-move Moving a Dashboard within a Workspace will keep existing links. Moving a Dashboard between Workspaces will invalidate any Link where the linked node is not available in the destination Workspace.
