Automatically apply dashboard changes to child dashboard

Hi TagoTeam

I would like to know if the following is possible:

I am creating a main dashboard for watelevel device information. Since we are having multiple users with multiple waterlevel devices, I would like to duplicate that dashboard and just change the device. Now, if I would like to do some changes (eg add a new widget to the dashboard), I would like it to appear on all waterlevel dashboards.

Basically I would like to give each user an own dashboard for each of his waterlevel devices (ideally also one dashboard with individual tabs for each device) but would like to maintain those through one main dashboard template so that if I change that main dashboard template, all child dashboards will update to that change automatically.

With blueprint I just figured I can select a device and then the dashboard will update. But can I somehow multiply that dashboard and keep the changes linked to the main dashboard?

Thank you

Björn

I don’t quite get what you’re aiming for, but yes, that generally the use case of blueprints: you have only one template and you will be changing the “active” final device(s) based of some parameters, namely the tags you’ve setted.

How do you distinguish between each device and its user? You can store that in a tag and make it the selected filter, for example.

I do use the blueprints for specifying a dashboard for one device type e.g. for a waterlevel sensor showing the level, the history level etc.

But now our clients have multiple waterlevel sensors and they would like to have an overview of all their devices. I have created an “overview” dashboard , showing all waterlevels of each device, which I have to set manually for each device and each customer. And I dont find a way to do that generically create such a dashboard e.g. for each device with customer tag x and type tag y, create a widget with settings z into that dashboard a.

Im not sure if that makes more sense now?

Each costumer should get an overview dashboard for all his “waterlevel” devices and I would like to do that generically somehow

Hi Annia,

In order to do that you’ll need to create a custom widget which will look up all the existing waterlevel sensor devices and add a cylinder widget component for each sensor, within the custom widget.

Hi Freddy, can you give some details about that? I find it could be useful for mantaining dashes with a huge amount of graphs.

Sadly, the current documentacion on custom widgets is a bit… lacking, I think.
