Level Node

Level visualizations are similar to gauge charts but are often used to display a simple level of a single metric, such as battery level, fuel tank level, or any other kind of reservoir.

What is a level?

A level visualization would typically represent the current fill level of the tank relative to its maximum capacity. This visualization often takes the form of a vertical bar graph, with the length or height of the bar indicating the current volume level as a percentage of the total capacity. Users can quickly assess the volume status at a glance, facilitating efficient monitoring and management of tank levels. Level visualizations for tank volumes are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and utilities, where precise control and monitoring of fluid levels are essential for operational efficiency and safety.

Inputs

The level node has a mandatory input:

Input

Requirement

Comments

Input Data Field

Mandatory

This is the field name within the incoming JSON payload that contains the data to be displayed on the widget.

Configuration

Section: General

This section contains basic configuration elements required for any level implementation

Field

Requirement

Comments

Widget Name

Mandatory

Enter a name for this node.


This provides a handle to which you and others can refer, so it should be simple but meaningful and explain the node’s purpose.

Widget Subtitle

Optional

Additional text that can be used to explain the data presented by the node. 


This will appear directly under the Widget Name, in a smaller text size.

Device/Device Label Name

Mandatory

Select this checkbox to display the device or label name on the widget.

Symbol

Optional

Enter a symbol that will be displayed at the end of the value (e.g. L or %).

Decimal Precision

Optional

Enter the number of decimal places to display on the dashboard.

Comma Separators at Thousand Mark

Optional

When checked, there will be comma separators at the thousand mark.

Input Data Field

Mandatory

This is the field name within the incoming JSON payload that contains the data to be displayed on the widget.

Full Level Value

Mandatory

Provide maximum value of the tank for percentage calculation.


This parameter also accepts dynamic value from the JSON payload by taking [[]] notation (eg. [[max_tank_level]] where the JSON key max_tank_level holds the maximum tank level value)

Liquid Type

Mandatory

Select from a dropdown menu to update display color:

  • Water
  • Fuel
  • Effluent

Range

Mandatory

It is possible to add as many rows as you would like by clicking on “+ Add Column” at the end of the section.


Similar to Full Level Value field, this parameter also accepts dynamic value from the JSON payload by taking [[]] notation (eg. [[level_1]] where the JSON key level_1 holds the tank level value)

Hex Color

Mandatory


(Only for Range)

Select a color for each field using a hex or RGB code. If no selection is made, a range of default colors will automatically be used.



Section: Tooltip Info

Field

Requirement

Comments

Show Tooltip

Optional

When checked, it allows users to display their tooltip text on the widget.

Tooltip Text

Optional

This section only exists when “Show Tooltip” is checked.

Users are able to write any tooltip message they desire which will be displayed on the widget.



Section: Group by Device Label

Field

Requirement

Comments

Device label name

Mandatory

There are no labels available in this box until you have saved at least one in the Device Labels section of the Workspace. 


Select a Label to use to filter devices.

Grouped

Mandatory

Select a method for grouping the widget on the dashboard from the dropdown:


No Grouping (widget per device): one widget will appear for each device


Group by device label value (Widget per label value): One widget will appear for each value of a label. For example, if the Label is ‘Color’ and there are the values ‘Green’ and ‘Gold’, then two widgets will be displayed, one with devices with Color Label equal to “Green” and one with devices with Color Label equal to “Gold”


Group by device label name (One widget): Only one widget will be displayed and this will contain data from all devices.
