Access
The Dashlet tab of the Command Center contains a table of all saved Dashlets. It serves as a hub from where any Dashlet can be edited/deleted and new Dashlets can be created.
Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Filter by Group | Dashlets can be saved in groups for easier organization (e.g. save all tank-related dashlets together in a group). Selecting a group will display only dashlets within that group. |
Search | Begin typing in the Search box to automatically filter Dashlets with names that contain entered text. |
Create New Dashlet | Click the |

Design
Whenever a new Dashlet is created or an existing Dashlet is edited, the New/Edit Dashlet window will pop up which controls all of the saved settings for Dashlets.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Dashlet Name (*) | Text field that sets the name of the Dashlet as it appears in the Navigation window. The name is also displayed as a title within the Dashlet. |
Description | Optional field to add description text to appear after the Dashlet Name. |
Group | Optional drop-down menu to assign the Dashlet to an existing Dashlet Group. |
Dashlet Type | Drop-down menu to select the type of Dashlet. Examples can be found for each type on the Dashlets overview page. |
Data Source | Drop-down menu to select a sensor or group of sensors to be the source of data for the Dashlet. Note: By default, Info360 shows the first 1000 sensor listing. To show search results beyond the first 1000, enter a keyword and then click the search icon (indicated by the red search icon |
Type-Specific Fields | The remaining window fields dynamically adjust depending on the Dashlet Type selected. Please expand the desired Dashlet Type option below for information specific to each window format. |
Dashlet Types
The following Dashlet types are available:
Chart
Displays a timeseries of the selected sensor or group of sensors.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Chart Type | Drop-down menu to select the chart as a Line, Bar, Area, Pie, or Doughnut style. |
Chart Color | Click in the field to open the Color Selection tool. This color is applied to the primary data series. |
Hide X Axis | When checked, X axis labels will be hidden. |
Sensor Type | Optional drop-down menu to filter a certain type of sensor for plotting. This field is only used if the Data Source is a group of sensors. |
Expression | Enables the user to apply any function in Info360 to the sensor data. Clicking the |
Data Interval | Drop-down menu to specify the data interval used. |
Group By Sensor ID | Option to group data by sensor ID. This is only available if the Data Source is a group of sensors. |
Group Data By | Drop-down menu to specify a time interval grouping used to process and plot data. Grouping can be omitted by selecting None. |
Apply Function to Each Group | Drop-down menu to apply a pre-set function to the data in each group (sensors or time-grouping). |
Time Range | The time range for the chart can be specified using one of the two options:
|
Display Unit | This unit will be displayed in the y-axis label for bar or line charts if a function is applied. |
Reference Dashlets | Opens a drop-down menu of compatible Dashlets to be plotted on top of the primary Dashlet. |
Use Main Y Axis for Reference Dashlets | When checked, any Reference Dashlets will be plotted using the same Y axis as the primary Dashlet. Otherwise, a new Y axis will be added to the right side for each Reference Dashlet. |
Table
Displays a table of the specified sensor's timeseries data.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Sensor Type | Optional drop-down menu to filter a certain type of sensor for plotting. This field is only used if the Data Source is a group of sensors. |
Expression | Enables the user to apply any function in Info360 to the sensor data. Clicking the |
Data Interval | Drop-down menu to specify the data interval used. |
| Display as Ranked Table | Option that allows you to select a sensor type and then view the last reported value for the sensors in a ranking table, which you may then sort in an ascending or descending order. You also have the option to view the historical chart of the reported value. |
| Append Statistic Panel | Option to display a statistical panel on the top of the ranked table to summarize the minimum and maximum values, the total number of sensors in the table, and the average value. This field is only available when the Display as Ranked Table checkbox is selected. |
Group By Sensor ID | Option to group data by sensor ID. This is only available if the Data Source is a group of sensors. A column of values will be assigned to each sensor. However if a group function is applied and no time group is set, then each sensor will occupy a row with one column of results reflecting the function value of the sensor data over the time range. |
Group Data By | Drop-down menu to specify a time interval grouping for the row entries. Grouping can be omitted by selecting None. |
Apply Function to Each Group | Drop-down menu to apply a pre-set function to the data in each group (sensors or time-grouping). |
Time Range | The time range for the chart can be specified using one of the two options:
|
Display Unit | This unit will be displayed in the y-axis label for bar or line charts if a function is applied. |
Sensor as X Axis
Displays data using bar charts in which the x-axis represents multiple sensor, the y-axis represents measured and static values.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Sensor Type | Optional drop-down menu to filter a certain type of sensor for plotting. This field is only used if the Data Source is a group of sensors. |
Constant Values | Custom Fields defined in Sensor Data. |
Measurement Date Time | Date and time that will be used in the bar chart. |
Comparison
Displays a window with readings of the two compared sensors.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Data Source 1 & 2 | Drop-down menus to select two single sensors for comparison. |
Expression | Enables the user to apply any function in Info360 to the sensor data. Clicking the |
Data Interval | Drop-down menu to specify the data interval used. |
Time Range | The time range for the chart can be specified using one of the two options:
