# Measurement List Widget

The Measurement List Widget allows you to display historical data with timestamps directly on your dashboard. It is ideal for tracking sensor readings, monitoring system performance, and analysing trends over time.

It is available on both device and global dashboards.

## **Configuration**

Once you’ve added the widget, a configuration menu will appear with the following tabs:

**1. Basics**

* Add your widget's title. This will help you identify the data source or the type of data displayed in it.
* You can add translations of that title.

2. Data

* Select the device from which you want to pull data.
* On device dashboards, simply select the data field you want to display. On global dashboards you can select the device and the field you want to display.
  * You may also control here how many rows of data are displayed per page on your widget.
* Toggle whether or not you would like to colour values or booleans based on ranges you provide
  * You can highlight different value ranges or different booleans (True or False) to correspond with preferred results.
    * For the Custom Booleans, you can customise exactly what your True and False represent
  * For example, you can set a range of undesirable temperature ranges as Red, and desirable target temperatures as Green:

* The widget will automatically populate with historical values and their corresponding timestamps.

## **Practical Applications**

* **Trend Analysis:** Easily identify patterns in your data over time.
* **Anomaly Detection:** Quickly spot any irregularities in the data.
* **Historical Review:** Keep an eye on past readings for deeper insights.
