Table Widget

Overview

The Table Widget in Datacake is only available in global dashboards. The Table widget displays certain values of multiple devices. You are able to filter for tags or names to only get a group of devices. It is perfect to get an overview about values of a group of devices. It also gives the possibility to set conditions so you see devices which are measuring problematic values.

Setting up the Table Widget

To get started, create a global dashboard, and add the Table Widget to your dashboard.

Configuration

Devices

In this section you create a filter of which devices you will list in your table. You can filter by Tags or parts of the device names. While filtering you will see a short list of devices in the preview on the bottom.

Columns

Here you can add what to display per device. To identify the device, we recommend to start with Meta information like the Device Name (linked). Inside of the Meta fields you will find elements like the Online Status of your device, the Serial Number, the Date last heard from, Device Location (description) and Metadata created on the device (if existing, you will find those inside of your Device's configuration section).

The next columns should be some Measurements like values you want to see. Those are the "Fields" created on your device.

Appearance

You can set some preferences about pagination, default sorting and some colouring. Feel free to adjust things as you like!

Conditional Formatting

If you have configured something in the columns tab, you are able to set up rules to get a visual difference on some devices/rows. You can set up the condition of that rule as you like. You have the option to activate "Limit to this column", which will only apply the conditional formatting to the specific column to which the condition was applied. For example, if you define a conditional formatting if TEMPERATURE<=5°C, only the device in the column TEMPERATURE will be coloured.
