Hermetry 2.0.1 is out today. The dashboard part of it is one item: card actions. A card on a board can now open a page or run an action when someone clicks it.
You set them in Customise mode. Open the card’s settings and go to What happens on a click. The list of actions, and what on a card can be clicked, is on Card actions and drill-down.
The other items in 2.0.1 (the sign-in link, remember me, custom access groups and the rest) have their own posts here. If an action on one of your boards does nothing or does the wrong thing, post how the card is set up and I’ll have a look.
Can a click on a stat card start a pump? We have a booster pump on a board and the operators want to tap the card instead of going to the device page every time.
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.
Row click on a table, Set board parameters with the clicked row, and the chart beside it follows the row. Five minutes. Good.
Is there a way back after Open a board? Our ops people end up three boards deep and then close the tab to start over.
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.
That was it, they had the pump board bookmarked directly. Sorted, thanks.
