Add content to an experience or dashboard

Content presents your data in an easily understandable format such as a chart, graph, or gauge. Content is added to experiences and dashboards. Each experience and dashboard can include multiple content items.

Add content to an experience or dashboard

1. In edit mode for an experience or dashboard, select Add content.

   The add content dialog opens.

2. Select the tab for the type of content you want to add:

   • To add a content item, select the Create new tab, then select the category of content:

     • Asset Information - Includes content items that display asset properties, documents, and 3D models.

     • Event Visualization - Includes event-related content.

     • Other - Includes content items that don't fit into other categories, such as a map and integrations with external products. If you are adding content to an experience, this category also includes experience-specific content items.

     • Visualization - Displays time-series data as graphical elements or trends. Typically used for monitoring and control content.

   • To add a graphic, select the Graphics tab. Select AVEVA graphics (standard built-in library), or Custom graphics (imported industrial graphics), and then select the graphic to add.

   • If you are adding an existing dashboard, select Browse existing, then select the dashboard to add.

     The dashboards available vary depending on what you are adding content to:

     • Any type of dashboard can be added to an experience.

     • Only canvas dashboards can be added to grid dashboards.

     • Existing dashboards cannot be added to canvas dashboards.

3. Select the Select button.

4. Configure the content's properties. For details, see the documentation section for the content you selected.

   If you selected an isometric graphic, note that it doesn't have properties to configure; isometric graphics are static images.

   Note: Content items and graphics update their data at different intervals. Graphics showing the current value update when a new value is received. Graphics showing any other statistic option, such as average or last, update every 60 seconds. The status board and line chart content items update every 30 seconds. All other content items (content that is not in the graphics category) update every 60 seconds. This may result in discrepancies when visualizing the most recent data in a time period.
