Adding a gadget to a dashboard

Add gadgets to a dashboard to display historical and real-time data. Without gadgets, a dashboard does not display any data.

NOTE: Gadgets that require special licensing only appear in the list after the correct licensing has been installed.

To add a gadget to the dashboard:

1. Click Add Gadget to open the Gadget Setup dialog.
   By default, all gadgets are included in the dialog. To filter the gadgets by category, click one of the categories on the left, for example Common or Comparison.
2. Select the gadget that you want to add to the dashboard and click Next.
   Gadget settings are specific to each gadget. For example, some gadgets require a data series consisting of sources and measurements, while other gadgets have no such requirement.

   See Configuring Gadgets for a description of the settings.

3. Click Next to proceed through the pages of the Gadget Setup dialog.
4. Click Finish to close the Gadget Setup dialog and to add the gadget to the dashboard.
5. Repeat the process to add additional gadgets to your dashboard.
