Display Widget
Display is a widget that displays the last value of a variable, regardless of the format of the value (string or number).
You can pick the variables, and each one of them will have its own box as well as simultaneously having the values shown.
This widget also accepts features like metadata, that can be set in your variable data.
Creating your own
To add it to your dashboard, choose the Display widget from the list and customize it to your preference. You can edit it by using the options located on the right side of the widget.
This widget works for both dashboards, Normal and Blueprint.
1. 'Data From' Field
This field allows you to set the device and variable that will be used in this widget.
Click on the cog icon to edit specific options for this variable, such as formulas, color, and more. Click on the close icon to remove this variable from the widget's data.
This field is dependent on the type of dashboard you are using; the difference is explained below.
1.1 'Data From' for Normal Dashboards
From the option 'Data From' on the right menu, select one device from your list of devices and the variable that contains the data.
1.2 'Data From' for Blueprint Dashboards
From the option 'Data From' on the right menu, add the Blueprint device and input the name of the variable that contains the information.
When using a Blueprint dashboard, the field Variable will not list variables to be picked because it doesn't know the devices linked to your Blueprint Device.
