Basic Information


Basic Options


Field Description

Title Jump


You can set the title of the widget as a hyperlink. When the title is configured with a link jump, an arrow title_link will appear to the right of the title.

  • When the mouse hovers over the title text or arrow, the name of the jump will appear.
  • Clicking on the title text or arrow will trigger a jump.


The title jump supports the following configurations:

  • Link Name: Mouse hover over the title or right arrow title_link to display it.
  • Open in: Support multiple new page opening methods.
    • New Tab: Open a new tab in your browser.
    • Current Tab: Replaces the current tab with the target page.
    • Popup Window: Displays the new page as a pop-up window on the current page.
    • Bottom Drawer/Side Drawer: Sliding out a new page from the bottom/right side on the current page will partially block the current page, select X to close the drawer.
  • Redirection Method
    • No Link: The title is a normal text label.
    • Link URL: Redirects the user to a specified URL. You can specify the URL in the Title URL box.
    • Application Portal: Redirects the user to the menu of an application by specifying the App Identifier, Menu Identifier, and App Status fields.

Note

If no URL is specified when the link type selected is Link URL or Application Portal, the user is redirected back to the dashboard.


Other Options


Field Description
Refresh Frequency Select how frequently the widget should refresh and retrieve data from data sources.
Merge Request When multiple widgets within one page using the same data source are refreshed simultaneously, the data requests will be merged into a single request. Enabled by default. Only valid when merge requests are turned on in the page setup, for more information, see Customizing Page Properties.
Allow Maximize Select this to enable a clearer view of widgets, you can configure widgets to display in a full-page maximized view.
Allow Data Export [1] Select this to enable users to download the displayed data in CSV format.
Chart Padding Specify the respective spacing within the widget.
Background Color Select a background color for the widget.
Title Decoration Select how you want to decorate the title.
Top Decorative Line Add a decorative line for the top boundary of the container.
Bottom Decorative Line Add a decorative line for the bottom boundary of the container.


[1]Not available for Topology.

Data Fields


Field Description
Data Source Select the data source.
Category Select the data category that you want to display.
Aggregation Select if you want to use the raw data or the aggregated data. See Aggregation.
Dimension, Comparison, Measurement Select the data fields according to the chosen widget. Required quantities of data fields for each widget can differ. For more information, see the reference page of the respective widgets.
Alias Add an alternative display text for fields in the chart.
Unit Add units for data fields, with priority over the original units of the data.


Depending on how the data source was configured in the backend, there may be additional optional parameters that you can configure.

Note

  • If you change the data source or the category, the current data fields will become irrelevant. You can replace them to retain the chart style, or remove them completely to reconfigure the chart style from scratch.
  • If you change an existing chart to a new chart type that is incompatible with the existing data fields, then all the data fields will be reset. You will need to configure them again. For example, if dimension fields were selected and you changed the chart type to the Donut Gauge type (which does not use dimension fields), all the data fields will be reset.

Data Source Specific Configuration


Common Data Service


For a data source under Common Data Service, you can select multiple categories and specify the asset ID. DTV will obtain data that matches both the selected categories and the asset ID.

  • If the asset ID is a parent asset, the selected categories represent the child assets.
     DTV will obtain data on the selected child assets under the specified asset ID.
  • If the asset ID is not a parent asset, it simply acts as a filter.
     DTV will obtain data that matches both the selected categories and the asset ID. For example, if you select categories Wind Farm A and Wind Farm B, and specify the ID of Wind Farm A in the asset ID, DTV will only obtain data of Wind Farm A.

Sorting Data Fields


For the dimension and comparison data fields that you have selected, you can choose the order they are displayed on the chart.


The available options are:

  • Default: Display in the same order as the original data.
  • ASC: Display in ascending order.
  • DESC: Display in descending order.


Note

  • There can only be one sort. The order of priority is Dimension, Comparison and then Measurement. For example, if a sorting order is chosen for dimensions, the sorting order for comparisons and measurements is ignored. If there are multiple data fields in Dimension or Measurement, the first data field added takes the sorting priority.
  • For points on the x-axis where the first measurement added has a zero value, the sorting order for the next measurement with non-zero values is taken.

Aggregation


You can aggregate measurement data values that have the same dimension and comparison data values. If no dimension and comparison data fields are selected, then measurement values of the same field are simply aggregated and returned as a single value.


For example, the Month of June has two records, 5 and 10. After selecting Aggregation with the function Sum, the two values are added together and displayed as 15.

DTV supports the following functions for aggregation:

Function Description
Sum Returns the unweighted sum of measurement values.
Average Returns the average of measurement values.
Effect Average Returns the average of non-empty measurement values. For example, if there are 10 values, of which 6 are non-empty, the effective average returns the average value of the 6 non-empty values (whereas the average function would return the average of all 10 values).
Max Returns the largest measurement value.
Min Returns the smallest measurement value.
First Returns the first measurement value.
Last Returns the last measurement value.
Count Returns the number of measurement values.
Distinct Count Returns the number of unique measurement values.
