Title: Dashboards in Windows
Post by: bulwer on April 22, 2013, 12:29:26 PM
Hi,

Had a good search on the site and couldn't find the answer. Is there a limited feature set in the Windows clients Dashboard than other systems? For example, there is no Dial Chart or custom widget option. If it is a limitation of Windows, do you need the server to be a different OS or just the client?

Another feature we would like is the ability to add a network map into a Dashboard. We had been using a Network map on our wall PC that shows all 34 of our sites along with their current status. This looks great but is a bit limited. I have now created a Dashboard with the status of each of the sites and an alarm browser. This is much more practical and useful but not as "pretty"! It would be nice to have the network map added in a slideshow of Dashboards but I can't see a way of doing this at present.

Hi!

Dashboards are identical on all platforms. And yes, you can add network maps as dashboard elements. It is strange that you cannot see some elements. Can you share a screenshot please?

Best regards,
Victor

Here we go. Don't think I'm missing anything obvious - I've created two dashboards and a slideshow dashboard successfully but the ability to add dials and the network map would add the finishing touches.

It's a bug (missing functionality) in dashboard view - not all possible elements added to this "Add" menu. You can add any element via dashboard object properties - go to "Dashboard Elements" page and add elements there.

Best regards,
Victor
