Web Page Widgets
Web Page widgets enable you to show web pages in a dashboard. For example, you can include web pages that stream television, video, or audio.
The website must be accessible via HTTPS because the BVD UI is also only accessible via HTTPS. However, if the website sends an X-Frame-Options HTTP header restricting the embedding of this page to same origin, the browser will not display this web page within the dashboard.
Note: Do not rotate Web Page widgets. This breaks the widget functionality.
If you use web page widgets in dashboard templates, you can add variables to the URL. Variables will be replaced by their assigned value when an instance is viewed. For details, see the URL widget property below.
Widget properties:

Specifies the URL of the web page you want to show in this widget.
Example:
https://softwaresupport.hpe.com/group/softwaresupport/search-result?keyword=
You can add variables from dashboard templates to the URL. Variables will be replaced by their assigned value when an instance is viewed. Add variables to the URL in the format ${variable}
.
For example, a company uses a URL in a dashboard template to show the floor plan of their company location. They use different instances for each location and want to show the floor plan specific to each location.
The following URL replaces the query value with the value of the variable location
that is assigned to the instance:
https://example.com/office-locations/floor-plans?site=${location}
When viewing the instance with the assigned value Atlanta
, the floor plan for the company location in Atlanta is shown. The location
variable is replaced with Atlanta
in the URL: https://example.com/office-locations/floor-plans?site=Atlanta
If the variable is not defined or the template is converted back into a dashboard, the variable expression in the URL is not resolved.
