Create Widgets
This new feature is a great way to add a widget in the device. Users can create a variety of widget types to display real-time data or performance metrics on the Telematics tab.
Creating a new widget
Head to the Map page, click a device you want to add the widget to then click the setting icon in the ’Telematics Tab’. You will see ‘Create widget’ on the lower right of the screen.
Fill up the following fields:
1. Widget Name - Allows the user to set the widget name.
2. Parameter value - This is where the parameter value for the widget is entered. If this value is incorrect, it might show nothing or display an incorrect reading.
3. Unit - Allows you to choose the unit for the widget created. (e.g if speed, select km/h).
4. Set value recalculation - This option allows for recalculating the widget value if the value shown doesn’t match the desired one. It’s useful when the user wants to display the temperature in a different unit, like Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. If the sensor provides a Celsius reading, but you want to display it in Fahrenheit, you can set up a recalculation (for instance, using the formula °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32). Or if the user simply wants to change the value to decimal and vice versa. (e.g input / 10).
Celsius to Farenheit:
Whole number to decimal:
Note: Each step means that the corresponding formula will be applied, and the result of that will then be used in the next formula until the expected value is achieved.
Without recalculation:
After recalculation:
5. Set value ranges - You can define a set of ranges for the parameter value to customize the widget display (e.g., using color coding and text labels) and to indicate different thresholds. Once the threshold is reached, the widget display will change color or text.
6. Decimal places - This allows you to control the precision of the parameter value shown, determining how many decimal places will be displayed in the widget (e.g., 22.35°C). For less precision, you could set it to 0 (e.g., 22°C).
Once set up, you will see your created widget in the same display.
