Display of Dashboards using Google or Edge

[Jeff5]

Hello,

We have a machine status dashboard that has close to 60 machines which is difficult to display on one TV.  We have filtered down to machine groups and created bookmarks hoping we could use the different links for the bookmarks on separate tabs within Google or Edge and rotate between each tab.  

The link for the bookmark displays the correct machines on the first tab in Google or Edge.  when I add the second link on a different tab for a different set of machines,  the first tab defaults to the same set of machines on the second tab.  

I've also tried using embedded links (iframes) and can't get that to work either.  I've googled the use of Iframes and it appears those need to be added to the backend code (HTML for example) of the website.  I'd prefer not to have to go this route as I don't know HTML and the end users who will be filtering and creating bookmarks to display dashboards.

Has anyone had success displaying different data from a dashboard perspective rotating between different tabs in Google or Edge?

Thanks,

Jeff

If the bookmarks are used for filtering then the selections will change for all tabs open by the same user. 

You could get around this by either creating multiple sheets in the application where you in the expression limit the dimensions by set analysis like this: 

Dashboard 1: {< [machine]= {'preparation_1','preparation_2'}>}sum(value)

Dashboard 2: {< [machine]= {'filling_1','filling_2','filling_3'}>}sum(value)

Dashboard 3: {< [machine]= {'packaging_1'}>}sum(value)

OR if you have grouped the machines into a machine group dimension then you  make use of the animator extension found in the dashboard bundle and just loop through a dimension  on the same dashboard with a defined frequency.

Also you could make use of a tab rotate extension, here you can set several tabs which get presented and refreshed automatically on your chosen interval.

This also prevents session timeouts, you will have to login at startup
