Dashboard Widgets
12 configurable widgets with drag-and-drop layout and density modes to customize your operational dashboard.
Dashboard Widgets
The dashboard is your real-time window into the plant's operational state. Widgets are the building blocks of that window — each one shows a specific piece of information, from active alarms to task status to equipment health indicators. You choose which widgets appear, where they are placed, and how large they are, creating a view tailored to your role and priorities.
What is it for?
Different people in a plant need different information. The maintenance coordinator needs to see the task funnel and pending work orders. The operations manager needs the compliance score and KPI trends. The reliability engineer needs asset health indicators. Dashboard widgets let each person configure their own view without affecting anyone else's.
A well-configured dashboard lets you:
- See the current state of the plant at a glance without opening individual modules
- Monitor the metrics that matter most for your role
- Catch problems early by having the right indicators visible at all times
- Present plant status to management directly from the dashboard screen

| Alarm Table | List of current active alarms with severity and source |
| Asset Health | Circular health gauge for a specific piece of equipment |
| Heatmap | Visual map showing event or alarm density by plant zone |
| Counter | Simple number with a label — total active alarms, open tasks, overdue PMs |
| Pie Chart | Percentage distribution of any data series |
| Bar Chart | Side-by-side comparison of values across categories |
| Sparkline Grid | Small trend charts for multiple assets in a compact grid |

How to use it?
Add a widget to the dashboard
- Click Edit Dashboard in the top bar.
- Click Add Widget from the side panel.
- Choose the widget from the catalog.
- Configure the data source and parameters:
- Select which asset, source, or module feeds the widget
- Set filters (e.g., only show alarms from a specific area)
- Set the time period the widget should display
- Set threshold values for color indicators (green/yellow/red)
- Click Save.
Each user has their own dashboard configuration. Changes you make to your dashboard do not affect what other team members see on theirs.
Arrange and resize widgets
The dashboard uses a drag-and-drop grid:
- Move a widget: drag it by its title bar to a new position
- Resize a widget: drag from its bottom-right corner
- Widgets adjust automatically when you move or resize others
On mobile screens (under 768px), all widgets stack in a single column.
Choose a density mode
Three display modes adjust spacing and text size:
| Mode | Best for |
|---|---|
| Compact | Control room large monitors where you want to see more at once |
| Normal | Everyday desktop use — the default |
| Comfortable | Presentations and large screens where readability is the priority |
Switch modes from Settings > Density or with the shortcut Ctrl+D.
Export widget data
Each widget offers export options from its settings menu:
- Export as PNG: save a visual capture of the widget
- Export as CSV: download the raw data in tabular format

Common use cases
Scenario 1: Operations manager dashboard The operations manager configures their dashboard with: a Compliance Score gauge (target 85%), a KPI Card showing plant availability for the week, a Task Funnel showing the work order backlog, and an Alarm Table filtered to Critical and Emergency severity only. Every morning they open the dashboard and have a complete operational picture in 30 seconds.
Scenario 2: Control room monitor The shift supervisor sets up a dedicated dashboard on the control room large monitor using Compact mode. It shows: the Event Timeline for the last 4 hours, the Asset Health gauges for the 6 most critical pieces of equipment, and the Alarm Table. The screen stays visible all shift — any new critical alarm appears immediately.
Scenario 3: Reliability engineer view The reliability engineer builds a dashboard focused on equipment condition: Sparkline Grid showing vibration trends for 8 motors, Asset Health gauges for the 4 critical compressors, and a KPI Card showing the average AHI across the plant's critical assets. They open it each morning to scan for deterioration trends before starting their analysis work.
