Widget Customisation
This section varies considerably between widgets, and allows customisation of the whole widget.
| Value | Default | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Widget Heading | File Import | Enter the name of the widget as it is to appear in the heading. |
| File Type | Test | Data Collector class that is associated with the widget. All files received by the widget are processed using this class. The contents of this list is controlled by Menu>Data Collector Framework. |
| Refresh Period | No widget refresh | Select a refresh period from the drop-down menu from between 15 seconds to 1 hour, or no refresh at all. |
Row Configuration/Properties
Depending on the type of widget, there may or may not be a Row Configuration or a Properties section.
This is the section where point IDs are added, so their data will be displayed in the widget. There is also some individual row configuration that can be done.
From here, there is also a link to a point details pop-up.
