Board and Widgets
The Board is a UI component that provides a canvas and suite of widgets to create composite UI pages or dashboards. It is utilized by the Pages and Dashboards facilities in the DevCore framework.
Boards combine interactive widgets for input and output to create composite operational and information device interfaces.
Widgets
Widgets render data from the Builder service, Ioto service, and your own custom device metrics.
Widgets can be added, removed, styled, positioned, and resized to meet your specific requirements. Dashboards supports 30 different types of widgets, including: gauges, graphs, numeric, text, image, data table and input widgets.
Widgets can dynamically style their colors, backgrounds, fonts, and overall presentation. Widgets can be combined to create cohesive displays that intuitively convey important device and cloud state.
Input widgets such as buttons and switches can invoke actions when pressed or activated by the user. These actions can invoke devices-based commands such as rebooting a device, or perform cloud-based operations such as updating the device database or sending an SMS alert.
Boards offer support for:
- Graphical widgets such as graphs, gauges, and numeric and text displays.
- No-code drag-and-drop widget designer.
- Customizable layouts with adjustable positioning and sizing of widgets.
- Responsive designs that adapt to various screen sizes.
- Creation of multiple boards, each focusing on different aspects of services.
- A gallery featuring additional widgets and data sources.
Boards enable you to monitor the performance of your devices and device clouds effectively.
