Dashboard pane
A DashboardPane is a container for a single WebWidget that can be configured for use in a dashboard. Add the pane to a Px
page via the PxEditor. Only HTML5 WebWidgets can be used in a DashboardPane. Specifically, the WebChart and CircularGauge
widgets. Typically a dashboard is comprised of multiple DashboardPanes, each containing a WebWidget.
Figure 82. Dashboard Pane
A dashboard is constructed on a Px page. After adding the DashboardService to the station, you can drag and drop a DashboardPane multiple times from the dashboard palette.
NOTE: If a DashboardPane is added to a Px page without the DashboardService being added to the station, a warning message alerts
you. Also, a warning message alerts you if the DashboardService is disabled.

|
| Id | %ord%;%viewId%;%widgetOrd%;%jsOrd% (default) | This BFormat string uniquely identifies the dashboard data for a particular user. Although, it can be changed if required, it is not recommended since this is an advanced feature. |

| Content | WebWidget |
A WebWidget is required in this property, for example: CircularGauge or WebChart found in the webchart palette.
If a DashboardPane’s Content slot is empty, by default a warning notifies you of the need to add a WebWidget to the Content property. TIP: You must use the Widget Tree view in the Px Editor to expand the DashboardPane so that you can drag and drop a WebWidget onto the Content subproperty.
