Telemetry2U Real-Time Dashboards

View current sensor data, build drag-and-drop layouts, configure widgets, share dashboards with other users, and send supported control commands.

2.1 - Viewing Dashboards

Dashboards provide a responsive, at-a-glance view of recent sensor readings, alert states, signal information, and compatible device controls.

All signed-in users can open the Dashboard page from the dashboard icon or the expanded platform menu. The dashboards available to each user depend on dashboards created for their account, copied to them, or shared company-wide.

Users assigned the Edit Dashboard role can create, rename, edit, share, and delete their own dashboards. User roles are configured in Section 6.2.3 - Configuring User Access .

On a mobile device, select the Small Screen checkbox in the top-right corner to arrange dashboard widgets in a single column. Selecting a sensor widget in view mode opens that sensor on the Charts page with its recent data.

Widget Border States

Node Has Lost Contact with the Server

Dashboard widget with an orange border indicating that the node has not recently connected

An orange widget border means the node has not connected to the service for more than three hours. Confirm that the node is powered, reboot it when appropriate, and then review its device and network configuration if contact is not restored.

Sensor Input Is Currently in Alert

A red widget border means the sensor input is in an alert state and may have triggered configured notifications or actions. A reading outside the widget's visual scale does not by itself mean that an alert has been triggered.

Common Dashboard Features

The 1x1, 2x1, and 4x1 sensor widgets share the following signal, alert, and scale behaviour.

Signal Strength

RSSI indicates received signal strength; a value closer to zero represents a stronger received signal. DR is the LoRaWAN data rate used for the transmission.

Configured Alert Status

The LED in the top-right corner is white when no alerts are configured, orange when at least one alert is configured but inactive, and green when at least one configured alert is active.

Widget Scale

When scale limits are blank, the widget first uses the lowest Less Than and highest Greater Than alert conditions. If no alert conditions exist, it uses the lowest Lower limit and highest Upper limit from audit reports. Manually entered scale values override these automatic limits.

2.2 - Building Dashboards

The dashboard editing menu is shown only to users assigned the Edit Dashboard role and only while using a PC or laptop.

Users without this role can still view dashboards shared with or copied to their account by selecting a dashboard from the Dashboard Name list. Users with editing permission can create dashboards, change their names, enable the editing canvas, and make a dashboard available to all users under the account.

Dashboard Management Controls

Add Dashboard

Enter a dashboard name in the pop-up window. The new dashboard is private to your account unless you select Company Wide.

Rename Dashboard

Enter the replacement dashboard name in the pop-up window and select Save.

Delete Dashboard

Delete the selected dashboard. It will also stop being available to users with whom it was shared.

Dashboard Editing

Enable the widget menu and editing canvas. You can then add, position, resize, remove, and configure widgets.

Company Wide

Allow every user under the account to view the dashboard. Only the creator can edit or delete the shared dashboard.

2.3 - Dashboard Widgets

Enable Dashboard Editing to display the widget menu, add widgets to the canvas, and configure each widget's data source and appearance.

Select a widget in the menu to add it to the canvas. Drag it to the required position, then use the resize arrow Resize handle in its bottom-right corner to change its size. Hold Shift while resizing to preserve its aspect ratio. The canvas width follows the screen width and can extend vertically as more widgets are added.

Double right-click a widget to open its settings. Select a Node first; the Input list will then show the available sensor inputs or outputs for that node. The remaining options depend on the selected widget.

Remove a Widget

Right-click near the centre of the widget and drag it onto the red Drag Widget Here to Delete target in the widget menu.

Select Save after making changes, then turn off Dashboard Editing. Unsaved changes are lost if you leave or reload the page.

2.4 - Copying a Dashboard

A user with the Company Admin role can copy an existing dashboard into another user's account.

This allows an administrator to prepare standard dashboards for users and control whether those users receive dashboard-editing permission. A recipient can edit the copied dashboard only when their user access includes the Edit Dashboard role.

  1. Select the source dashboard from Dashboard Name.
  2. Select the recipient from Person.
  3. Enter the copied dashboard's name in Destination name.
  4. Select Save.

The copied dashboard will be available in the recipient's account the next time they sign in.

2.5 - Sharing a Dashboard with All Users

Select Company Wide to make the current dashboard visible to every user under the same company account.

The checkbox appears beside the dashboard menu for users who can edit dashboards. Other users can view the shared dashboard but cannot change it, even when they have the Edit Dashboard role for their own dashboards.

If another user attempts to edit the shared dashboard, the platform identifies its creator and advises the user to contact that person. Clearing Company Wide or deleting the dashboard removes it from other users.
