Widget Groups

Use the Widget Group to display a dynamic list of individual widgets within one widget container. Every widget that is grouped within a widget group receives data from the same data channel. The JSON data that is sent via this data channel must be an array of objects that contain the list items. The widget group works like a list that is dynamically populated with list items based on the data that is being sent.

Note Adding Feed widgets, Web Page widgets and Frames to widget groups is not supported. Other than that, all widget types as well as non-widget shapes can be added to widget groups.

If you display historical data from a Data Collector in a widget group, charts with time dimensions cannot be added.

The display of the widgets inside the widget group is limited by the size of the widget group box. If the content of the widgets is larger than the space in the box, the content is cut off. For example, if you have a Text Field Widget with a long value inside the widget group, the text is cut off if the text is longer than the space available within the widget group box.

You can modify the color of the box and the scroll bar individually. The vertical scroll bar appears if the length of the content that is displayed in the widget group exceeds the size of the box.

To add widgets to the widget group, put another widget on top of the widget group, for example the Text Value Widget. Then select both widgets, right-click and select Group > Group.
