Dashboards and Sharing
Build widget dashboards and share read-only public links.
Dashboards (/dashboards) let you visualize live and historical data with configurable widgets.
What you'll do
- Create a dashboard and choose a color palette
- Add widgets bound to tag paths
- Optionally share a read-only public link
Create a dashboard
- Go to Dashboards → Add
- Name the dashboard and select a color palette
- Open the editor and add widgets
Widget types
| Widget | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Stat | Single KPI from a tag, with a sparkline and % change over the selected window |
| Timeseries | Line chart over time (multi-tag supported) |
| Bar | Bar chart comparison (multi-tag supported) |
| Timeline | Event-style timeline of tag changes (multi-tag supported) |
| Gauge | Gauge with min/max thresholds |
| Alarms | Recent alarm list |
Each widget binds to one or more tag paths. Stat widgets use the same history window as timeseries (default 15 minutes) for the mini-trend. Timeseries, bar, and timeline support multiple tags with palette colors.
Program-derived tags
Widgets can bind to tags published by programs — paths like programs/<code>/outputs/<name>. These appear in tag pickers alongside plant/device tags once the program has declared outputs.
Templates
Reusable dashboard templates (templates permission) let you standardize layouts across plants. Apply a template when creating a new dashboard.
Public share links
Generate a read-only share link from the dashboard detail page. Requires dashboards.share permission.
- Share URL format:
/share/<token> - No login required — suitable for wall displays or external stakeholders
- Shared data is limited to tag paths referenced by dashboard widgets
- Revoke by deleting the share link
Tips
- Use consistent tag paths across widgets for related KPIs
- Test with the demo plant tags before deploying to production data
- Share links expose only the dashboard view — no console access
