Widget View¶

Part of the Views section. This guide covers Widget View and its close relative, Dynamic Timeframed Widget View. For what each individual widget shows, see the widget guides below.

A Widget View is a tab made up of small, individual tiles — called widgets — arranged in a grid, like tiles on a dashboard. Each widget focuses on one thing: a single gauge, a single trend chart, a single table, a single running number. Put together, a Widget View gives you a wall-of-screens style overview where everything updates live, without you needing to click into anything.

This is the most common and most flexible view type — if your organisation only sets up one kind of screen, it's usually this one.

How the layout works¶

Widgets are arranged left to right, top to bottom, and wrap onto new rows automatically — similar to tiles in a photo gallery.
Each widget has a size — full row, three-quarters, half, a third, or a quarter of the row — set by whoever built the view, so more important widgets can be given more visual space.
Widgets pack tightly: if a gap opens up next to a shorter widget, a later widget can slot into it rather than leaving empty space.
Most widgets are live — values update in real time as new readings come in from the field, with no need to refresh the page. Historical/trend widgets refresh as new data becomes available for their chosen time period.

This is the same tile-grid experience as a Widget View, with one difference: instead of each chart's time range being fixed by whoever built the view, you pick the time range for the whole tab from a dropdown at the top (Last 7/30/60/90/180/365 days, Yesterday, Month-to-date, or Year-to-date).

Not every widget listens to this shared picker — it currently reaches Banner, Param Equation Banner, Table, Consumption Gauge, Consumption Pie, and Till Date Pie Chart widgets. Other widget types on the same tab keep whatever time range they were individually configured with, regardless of what you pick at the top — check each widget's own guide if you're unsure. This is still handy for a screen that different people want to check over different periods (a shift lead checking yesterday vs. a manager checking month-to-date) without needing two separate views.

If a tab has a lot of widgets, use the Views search or filter to jump straight to the tab you want rather than scrolling through all of them.
On a Dynamic Timeframed Widget View, changing the timeframe updates every widget that supports it at once (see the list above) — there's no need to adjust those individually.
If a widget shows "Widget Not Configured" or "Work In Progress," that widget hasn't been finished being set up yet — it isn't something to fix from the viewing side; flag it to whoever manages your views.
Widgets with an image can be downloaded directly (available from the widget's menu, for those with engineering access) if you need the picture for a report.

A note on editing¶

Adding, or removing widgets requires engineering access. If you have that access, each widget's "⋮" menu lets you edit or delete it, and the "+" button on the view lets you add a new one from the full widget catalog listed below.

For the full engineering/architecture reference (component locations, data flow, config schema) behind every widget type, see the Widget Catalog & Architecture page.

Live values & gauges¶

Consumption & energy¶

Trends & charts¶

Status & monitoring¶

Tables & logs¶

A few earlier chart variants may still appear on views built before the current widget catalog. They display fine — they're just no longer offered when adding a brand-new widget.
