Dashboards¶
Dashboards provide users with the ability to create their own view of asset data and to also create standardized views of their assets for others in their organization.
Layout¶
Dashboards are free form canvases that contain visualization panels on them to represent an overview of asset data. Users can adjust the panels layout and size on the canvas grid ("drag and drop"). There is a 12 column grid that the panels align to and also that enforces each panels' minimum and maximum width and height.
Dashboards can be edited by anyone with access rights to it, including moving panels around, changing the sizes, and adding/removing panels.
To edit the layout and size of the panels, click the Lock icon to unlock the dashboard.
Creating Dashboards¶
An Asset or Group can have one or more dashboards, by default a new custom Asset has 1 to begin with called 'Custom' and Groups do not have a dashboard by default.
To create another dashboard for an Asset, click the plus button, select 'Add New Dashboard' and give it a name.
Dashboard Names and Order¶
Users can change the order of the dashboard or the names by using the 'Edit Dashboard Order' menu item.
Panels¶
Dashboard panels are visualizations that include types like gauges, a simple number, line charts, and image overlay. Each panel itself has its own configuration options including selecting the asset data to be used and other configurable parameters such as time scale for charts.
Info
How many panels are supported on one dashboard?
Each dashboard supports up to 15 panels.
Exporting & Printing Dashboards¶
Dashboards can be exported using the 'Export Menu' icon in the upper right hand navigation. The export options include image, print, pdf, and two file output options CSV and JSON. When exporting the dashboard, it will use the current rendered data and visualizations as you see in the browser page.
This feature and specific export options may not be available on all solutions. Contact administrator for more information.
Export Method | Description |
---|---|
The PDF export options allow by default exporting the entire dashboard as a single continuous view into a PDF file, which will be downloaded to your computer via your browser. You can choose in PDF mode to use page breaks and adjust the resolution. | |
Image | The Image export options exports the entire dashboard as a single continuous image (.jpg). Image quality is adjustable as an option. |
This will bring up the print dialog for your browser and computer. | |
CSV | The CSV export will generate a single CSV file. Each signal from each dashboard panel (for the panels that have signal data) is a column and all data at timestamps are rows, with the first column being the timestamps. If the dashboard panel has historical signal data, it will have many values in that column. If a panel has only one value (last value), it will have only one value in the column. |
JSON | The JSON export will generate a file that contains panel information and data values in JSON format |

Shared Public URL Dashboards¶
Dashboards may be shared using a unique URL and a configurable password to allow viewing the dashboard without a normal user log-in. When using this shared dashboard URL, all navigation and editing access is removed.
Dashboard Passwords¶
Shared dashboards require a password to help protect from being viewed by anyone on the public internet. It is also possible to allow dashboards with no passwords. This must be enabled by an administrator.
Kiosk / Full Screen¶
Shared dashboards were also built for supporting kiosk and full-screen mode applications where the entire dashboard filling a screen is required. Shared dashboards auto-refresh the page every 10 minutes, panels receive real-time data updates, and does not require a user to log-in, keeping important user credentials off of computers driving kiosk displays.
Info
ExoSense shared dashboards use the entire browser window. To make full screen, use the specific browser's configuration options including options to hide the browser's URL bar, bookmarks, etc. Commonly known as 'borderless' mode for a browser.
Asset Dashboards¶
Dashboards may display data from any number of assets. Alternatively, users may create dashboard(s) associated with an asset.
Asset dashboards can be especially convenient when using the duplication functionality to quickly create multiple assets with dashboards that are similar. When an assets is duplicated (used as a starting point for a new asset), any dashboards associated to the initial asset will be copied.
Private / Group Visibility Settings¶
When creating a dashboard, the user will only see assets and signals available to them based on their permissions.
When a dashboard is created, it is by default 'private' and only available to the user who created it. The user who created the dashboard can also make it available to a group of users if that user has the proper role functions for the group.
Shortcuts¶
Users may have access to many dashboards. Users can mark specific dashboards as shortcuts, so that those dashboards appear at the top of the left hand navigation menu for quick access.
Duplication¶
Dashboards may be duplicated, which creates an exact duplicate of the original. A user can edit the duplicate version, while leaving the original dashboard as it was.
When an assets is duplicated (used as a starting point for a new asset), any dashboards associated to the original asset will be duplicated as well.
