### Choose Device

Using a drop-down you can select one of the devices from your current workspace.

### Select Field

Next, you have to select the field which you want to display.&#x20;

#### Supported Types

Currently, we support the following field types:

* Integer, Float (Numerical)
* String
* Boolean States

### Set Label

You can also set a custom label which will be shown when you hover over an icon on the image map widget. Default is set to Field Name.

### Set Unit

Optionally you can also provide a unit to the value.

### Edit Position

In order to place an icon on the map, you have to click on the "Edit Position" Button.&#x20;

This will open up another view of the image where you can drag the icon to any position within the image map widget.

#### Icon Size

In the position editor, you also find a slider that allows you to change the size of the device widget on the map.

### Edit Appearance

#### Numerical Values

By enabling the option "Marker color based on state" you can define a value range and color for the icon. The icon border is colorized based on the colors you define here.

#### Boolean

When the selected field is of type "Boolean" you can set a text and color for either the True or False state of that field.

## Appearance

The Image Map Widget supports overriding a few of the default appearance settings.

### Change Colors

You can override the default colors.

#### Text Color

Sets an individual color for the text of an icon.

{% hint style="info" %}
This is not valid for Boolean Fields. Colors you set on boolean appearance will override these settings.
{% endhint %}

#### Icon Color

Sets an individual color for the icon background color. The default is black. You might want to use brighter colors for darker images and vice versa.

### Public Dashboards

By enabling the "Show Device Details on public Dashboards" option, you allow Device Icons on Images to be clickable on a publically shared Dashboard.

### Full Height Images

By enabling this your Image Map Widget will always scale to the maximum height possible, no matter which height you have set on the dashboards designer.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please make sure you don't place any widgets below the Image Map when enabling this option as they would be covered by the full height option.
{% endhint %}
