Overview

The dashboards contain a graphical representation of variables or KPI types. Widgets are used for the graphical representation. A maximum of 5 dashboards can be created per asset object within My Plant.

Automatic update rate configuration

If the selected period for the dashboard or one of the widgets is in the future, the dashboard automatically updates every 30 seconds by default.

Please remember to use this functionality only when needed as it will increase the loading times of the dashboard.

The update rate can be configured on each dashboard separately.

The figure below shows the layout of a dashboard:

Maximizing Dashboard Size with URL Parameters

You can control the visibility and behavior of specific dashboard UI elements using URL query parameters. This is especially useful for embedded scenarios or simplified interfaces.

To apply these options, add them to the dashboard URL as query parameters. For example:
...#/my-plant/813bd9cb612b4c7884446f532810e490/dashboard/?embeddedViewMode=readOnly&leadingRegionCollapsed=true*

Available options

  • leadingRegionCollapsed=true collapses the leading region of the dashboard.

    leadingRegionCollapsed=true

    This setting is stored in local storage to ensure consistency when the user manually toggles the leading region via the related app layout button.

  • embeddedViewMode=noOsBar hides the OS bar for a cleaner, embedded appearance.

    embeddedViewMode=noOsBar

    This setting is stored in the application state and applies across components and views.

  • embeddedViewMode=readOnly displays only the content section and enforces read-only mode across all dashboard types.

    embeddedViewMode=readOnly

    This setting is stored in the application state to ensure consistent behavior across components within the requested view.
