It is the column’s Cell setting, in the table card’s Columns. With Cell on Auto, a column shows as a badge when it is a badge column or when it has Value colours. If yours shows plain text, add a row under Value colours for RUNNING with a green colour. Badge style is Tinted, Dot or Solid.
The alarm. RUNNING is the last plant status value the board has for Ankara, and a latest value stays until the next one arrives. An offline alarm clears by itself when the device connects or sends something again, so while it is open, nothing new has come since it opened three days ago. That is a weakness of this board as it stands.
A row click that sets the board’s site parameter, with the alarm table following that parameter, would put the two side by side. On this board the alarm table shows everything.
The quotes. "21.4" is stored as text, and only numbers have a chart history, so the stat card shows the latest value and the chart has nothing to draw. Send {"temperature":21.4,"hum":55}. Details on Numbers, text and true/false values.
Yes, if the table reads Latest values of many devices: that source is polled, so the table refreshes on its interval. The live ones include A value of a device, Device readings over time, Devices, Alarms and Alarm counts. A table that pages on the server never updates live either. If 30 seconds is too slow for you, lower Refresh every (seconds) on that card.
Thanks for writing it up. The Commands line under What this package points at in the same dry run is worth a look too: it marks each command as Can be used, Not found here, Not permitted for you or Takes different params here.
Welcome Wei. Before buying hardware you can try the whole path from your laptop: Connect your first device uses mosquitto_pub as a stand-in device and takes about five minutes. If you want to sketch a board first, widgets can use the sample data source, so they show something real-looking before any device is connected.
Yes. In the board menu, Export gives you a .board.json for that board, or Export with linked a .boards.json that also carries the boards it opens, so the links keep working. In the other organisation, Import in the dashboards list, read the dry run (nothing is written yet), then Import.
What the file leaves out: the organisation, people, sharing, revision history and the definition of your own widgets. Those widgets move with the widget library’s own export.
Only that it is meant for testing. The sample sources show up when you turn on Also list the sample data and the developer sources in a card’s Data tab, and the docs say to leave that off for production boards. When your sensors arrive, open each card’s Data tab and bind it to the device instead. Good luck with the demo.
Expected. Two people can customise the same board, and a save that meets the other person’s newer change reloads the board and asks you to try again, so neither of you overwrites the other without knowing. If you were both in the same card’s settings, the drawer offers Reload (discard mine) or Overwrite theirs instead.
Some do. With the SCADA module, for example, sample process boards are added for the core symbol set and for each symbol library your organisation holds. If you delete one of those it is not offered again. The ready solutions also bring their boards when you install them. Your own boards stay as they are either way.
No. Every member with Create and arrange your own dashboards can make personal boards, and users have that by default. Sharing a board with the whole workspace needs Manage shared dashboards, which admins have by default. A member can still open a shared board and make a personal copy to rearrange for themselves.
Yes. A board opened with Open a board shows the boards you came through as a breadcrumb at the top. The trail is kept in the address (?trail=...), so the Go back action and the browser’s back button both walk back along it.
One thing that catches people: a bookmark saved without the trail starts a new trail. If your operators bookmarked the third board’s address without its trail, they land there with nothing to go back to. Bookmark the first one.
No, and that one is deliberate. A card click never runs a command, the editor refuses it there. Commands go through control cards (a Button or a Switch, for example), row buttons in tables and symbols in process drawings, and by default they ask before running.
For your booster pump I’d put a Button next to the stat card, add Run a command to it and leave Ask before running on. The command has to be in the device profile’s Commands catalogue and of the Basic tier, otherwise a board can’t send it. More on Control cards.
Yes, with a display link on a shared board. The link shows the board on a screen nobody signs in to, until it expires (you choose 1 to 365 days) or you revoke it. Controls on that screen are inactive, so nobody can switch anything from the hallway. Make one link per screen. Steps are on Wall screens, full screen and zoom.
