A multiple facility dashboard is an optional dashboard configuration (see Create or Transfer a Dashboard) used to display widgets and data for multiple facilities on a single dashboard, or to navigate to multiple facilities from a single dashboard. A dashboard configured with multiple facilities can simplify dashboard management and allow users to quickly view data for the selected facilities.
Multiple facility dashboards can be designed to meet an Enterprise user’s specific needs, such as a tabbed dashboard with a specific tab for each facility, displaying multiple facilities on a single Map widget, or using a facility group to view data in a Time Series Chart widget. These use case scenario examples, with step-by-step instructions, are detailed below.
Tabbed Multiple Facility Dashboard
Configure a tabbed, multiple facility dashboard as follows:
1.Create a new dashboard or select the dashboard to be edited.
2.Open the Dashboard Editor.
3.Create a section for each facility.
4.In the JSON editing window, set the "layout" property to "tabs" (see “Create Tabbed Section Layout” in the Dashboard Editor article for detailed instructions about the tabbed dashboard layout). The tabbed layout will be visible once the dashboard edits are saved.
5.Edit each section title to be a desired facility name.
6.Within each section, add widgets and set them to the facility.
7.If a Session Facility is set, clear the Session Facility Chooser by clicking the minus button.
8.Save the edits to the dashboard.
9.After the dashboard reloads, navigate to the desired facility by clicking the tab for that facility.
Note: Displaying multiple facilities without setting the tabbed layout is possible, but can cause the dashboard to load slower. |
