Dashboard Widget

A dashboard widget is an adaptive container that groups related elements and information on a Dashboard Page.

Dashboard widgets can contain a wide variety of HELIO Element Types, including Gauge, Magic Input or Magic Output.

Common Properties​

Container

Icon

This icon will be displayed next to the element's label on pages that support it, like the Dashboard Page. An Element can make use of the icon to:

  • Provide more context to add meaning
  • Improve recognition and discoverability, especially on larger pages

Label

Provides context and information to operators, guiding them and helping them understand the value of this particular element. A good label instills confidence in operators when making adjustments.

Description

Will be displayed underneath the element. This description provides additional guidance or instructions for operators manipulating the element. It expands on the label by offering supporting details and clarifying what the element represents or how it behaves. It provides an opportunity to offer more detailed context regarding the potential impact of changes or further instructions on the desired input format.

Custom Layout​

This custom layout has the highest priority. If there is not enough space or the layout does not match the number of elements, the best-fitting alterative layout will be automatically applied.
