Dashboard

A dashboard displays information about the thing we are monitoring by means of various widgets. For example, we could see a graph that plots how the heat produced by a stove varies over time, or a gauge which indicates the current speed of a car.

All the dashboards prepared for a certain family are listed in the "DASHBOARDS" tab of the thing family detail page.
