Dashboard Example

This guide shows you how to create a Dashboard showing a Gauge widget. It requires a running WinCC OA project, with the Dashboard Server Manager already set up and a WinCC OA user with edit and publish rights:

Open the Dashboard with the URL. If you start the browser on the same computer the WinCC OA is already running on, you will need to use "localhost" as host.
Login with your WinCC OA user. Make sure you have enabled the edit mode with the slider button.
You can now see the main overview of all Dashboards. Add a new Dashboard with the "Add" button.
The editing surface for new Dashboards is now open.
1. Add the title "Gauge Dashboard" and a description for the Dashboard in the required languages.
2. Set the background color with the color selector
3. Save the Dashboard.
The Dashboard opens automatically to the edit surface for widgets.
1. Open the Data and Widget selector with the button in the upper right corner.
2. Select the data point ExampleDP_Rpt1 from the list by double clicking it.
This automatically opens the widow to select a widget. Select the Gauge widget by double clicking.
The settings for the Gauge widget will now open. Make the following adjustments:
1. Add the widget name "Gauge" to the title.
2. Add an subtitle from the data point by activating the check box and selecting the data point address from the drop down menu.
3. The data segment will already be filled in as you have selected the data point beforehand. Additionally, activate the badge counter to show alerts by checking the related check box.
4. Set a "userdefined" format of 3 digits before and after the comma.
5. Add "units" as the "manual" unit.
6. Activate the manual value range and set 0 and 150 as the end values.
Save your changes.
Move the widget to the middle of the Dashboard Edit View by clicking the grid icon on the top left corner.
Leave the Edit View by clicking the "Edit Widgets" button, to view your Gauge Dashboard.
