¶ Table
Let's see how to create a table widget.
¶ Overview
The Table Widget is designed to display data in a structured, readable format similar to a report. It allows you to represent any selected parameter in a time-series format. Unlike a standard report, the Table Widget includes additional features such as threshold-based coloring and sparklines for historical data insights.
Key Features:
-
Threshold-Based Coloring
- In the figure above, the widget named "Table" demonstrates a basic table widget with threshold-based conditions.
- The parameter "TEST DEVICE 5_HUM" has a threshold value of 70.
- Values above 70 are highlighted in red for quick identification.
-
Sparkline Feature
- The widget named "Sparkline" is an advanced Table Widget with the Sparkline option enabled.
- This table displays the latest data for selected parameters and includes a small line chart in the same row, showing the trend of the last 20 data points.
- Clicking on the sparkline allows users to view historical data for that parameter.
This widget is highly useful for monitoring real-time data and identifying trends at a glance!
¶ Data
In the Table Widget, you can select multiple devices and parameters as needed.
- The first dropdown at the bottom of the page is used to select devices.
- The dropdown next to it is used to select parameters.
