The Gadgets view in the iMonitor Designer window is a tree representation of each gadget associated with a specific line, process point, or model point and its current status.

Select View > Gadgets in the iMonitor Designer window to display the Gadgets view.

Note

The gadget tree and the filter wizard are applicable only to items that have filters for locations, not products. There are a few gadgets that have product filters—you can only modify those in the Properties box.

Determine gadget status

The Gadgets view shows a graphical representation of the status of a data source gadget added to a dashboard that is (or is not) configured properly. In the Gadgets view, notice the following:

If a data source is valid, it will not be highlighted.
If a data source is not yet assigned, you will see Unassigned Data Source highlighted in Yellow.
If a data source assigned does not exist, it will be Red—this will only occur if you imported a *.dtf file that contains a data source that doesn't exist as a corporate asset in your factory model.
To configure or reconfigure the data source for a gadget, right-click the gadget in the tree and select Configure Data Source, then make selections in the Set Gadget Data Source dialog
