Dashboards

Interactive Dashboards allow you to create customized, real-time visual monitoring centers for your IoT fleet. Unlike standard pages, dashboards are modular and can be tailored to the specific needs of different stakeholders—from maintenance engineers to operation managers.

Key Capabilities

  • Visual Builder: Create and arrange widgets using a responsive, drag-and-drop grid.

  • Modular Widgets: Choose from a library of gauges, charts, value cards, and live maps.

  • Real-Time Sync: Widgets update instantly as new telemetry arrives via WebSockets.

  • Public Sharing: Securely share dashboards with stakeholders via a unique, non-guessable URL.

  • External Embedding: Integrate your AdaTrack dashboards into your own websites or 3rd-party portals using iframes.

Widget Library

hashtag
1. Value Card

Displays the latest numeric or string value for a specific telemetry key (e.g., "Current Temperature: 24.5 °C").

hashtag
2. Gauge

A visual circular or linear gauge for monitoring thresholds. Ideal for battery levels, fuel tanks, or speed.

hashtag
3. Live Map

A lightweight version of the live tracking map, filtered to the specific devices associated with the dashboard.

hashtag
4. Trend Chart (Line/Bar)

Visualizes historical trends for one or more telemetry fields over a selected time range.

hashtag
5. Status Grid

Shows a high-level "Online/Offline" status for a group of devices, allowing for quick identification of connectivity issues.

Building a Dashboard

  1. Navigate to the Dashboards page and click New Dashboard.

  2. Add Widget: Click the "+" button to open the component library.

  3. Configure Widget:

    • Data Source: Select the devices or profile to monitor.

    • Telemetry Key: Choose the specific field (e.g., humidity).

    • Style: Set labels, colors, and units (e.g., "%", "V", "°C").

  4. Arrange: Drag and resize widgets on the grid to create your desired layout.

  5. Save: Click save to persist your dashboard.

Sharing & Security

AdaTrack provides multiple ways to share your dashboards:

  • Private (Default): Only you and authorized members of your organization can view the dashboard.

  • Public Link: Generate a unique URL that allows anyone with the link to view the dashboard without logging in.

  • Embedded: Use the provided Iframe code to place the dashboard inside another application or website.

Security Note: Public dashboards use a "Scoped Read-Only API." This ensures that even with a public link, visitors can only see the specific telemetry fields you've added to the dashboard widgets. They cannot access your full device history or system settings.

Technical Details

  • Responsive Layout: Dashboards use a 12-column responsive grid that adapts to different screen sizes, including mobile tablets and large operation center monitors.

  • Data Caching: To ensure high performance, dashboard layouts can be snapshotted to static manifests, while telemetry data is fetched via a lightweight, optimized API.

  • Scalability: Public and embedded dashboards are designed to handle high traffic without impacting the performance of the core tracking platform.

Best Practices

  • Group by Function: Create separate dashboards for different purposes (e.g., "Battery Health Overview" vs. "Real-time Location Monitor").

  • Mind the Density: Don't overcrowd a single dashboard. Aim for 4-8 high-impact widgets per view.

  • Use Consistent Units: Ensure all widgets on a single dashboard use the same unit system (Metric vs. Imperial) to avoid confusion.
