The Dashboard Designer

Dashboard Collection
There is a collection of Dashboards for UIM OC Dashboard Designer which can be imported and reconfigured for reuse using data from your own environment/robot/device, QOS and alarm data. If you have a specific need for a type of dashboard reach out to support.

After you import a dashboard or create a new dashboard, you must configure the widgets to feed them the data, e.g., QOS, alarms, other data you want to represent in the dashboard.
