Your device overview in the Portal can be viewed in a List view  or Card view  . Using the Card view, you can view more information from each machine in your device overview.

You can add one card to every machine, create as many different cards as you need, customize each card for a specific machine, and even create your own custom components. This will optimize the available information for every machine and will make the most important details available at a glance.

Please follow the steps below to get everything set up:

• Create a device card
• Link a device card to a device

Additionally, you can:

• Manage device cards

    Data component options

    Setting	Description
    Aggregator	The time period displayed on a card generally contains more than one logged value. Some components, like a Single Value component, contain an aggregator setting to determine which value to display. The following aggregators are available: First Shows the first logged value in the displayed time period. Median Shows the middle logged value in the displayed time period. Last Shows the last logged value in the displayed time period. Min Shows the minimum logged value in the displayed time period. Mean Shows the average of all the logged values in the displayed time period. Max Shows the maximum logged value in the displayed time period. Sum Shows the sum of all the logged values in the displayed time period. Mode Shows the value that occurred most often in the displayed time period. Count Shows the amount of values logged in the displayed time period. Range Shows the difference between the minimum and the maximum logged value in the displayed time period. Difference-Last Shows the difference between the last value in the previous time period and the last value in the displayed time period.
    Decimals	Enter the amount of numbers you want to display after the decimal point. Optional.
    Unit	Enter the unit you wish to show behind the value. Optional. This only applies to the current component. To apply the same unit in every component, enter the unit at Fleet Manager > Devices > Your device > Your data source > Variables > Your variable > Edit. Once entered, this unit will be automatically applied when you add the variable or corresponding data tag(s) to a component.
    Factor	Enter the value you wish to apply to the logged value. May be used to translate grams to kilograms for example. Optional. This does not change the logged value. It only affects the displayed value and only in the current component. To apply the same factor in every component, enter the factor at Fleet Manager > Devices > Your device > Your data source > Variables > Your variable > Edit. Once entered, this factor will be automatically applied when you add the variable or corresponding data tag(s) to a component.

  • You can move (drag), resize (click and drag), copy & paste (right-click), and remove (right-click) components. Tip: you can also copy a component from one card and paste it onto another card.
  • When displaying a boolean in a component, use 0 instead of FALSE and 1 instead of TRUE in the component settings and rules.
