Configure dashboard displays

Dashboard displays use the Dashboard ID, a component of the display URL, to find the display to be shown. The following properties must be specified to show dashboard displays in when the PI Vision OMI App is in non-contextual mode:

• View Dashboard Display must be True (set the checkmark next to the property).

• Dashboard ID must be set with an integer that matches the saved PI Vision dashboard ID to be displayed.

View Dashboard Display and and the other view boolean values (View Dashboard Display, View Freeform Display) are mutually exclusive. Make sure View Ad hoc Display and View Freeform Display are disabled if View Dashboard Display is enabled.

Each saved PI Vision display (dashboard) has a unique URL, which includes a unique number. The Dashboard ID property in the OMI app is configured with this number, for example:

https://PIVisionwebserver/PIVision/#/Displays/3117/PowerAnalysis

In this example, you would configure the Display ID property as 3117.

Asset Path is an optional property that you can use to to swap related assets that share the same PI Vision AF template with an existing dashboard display. Specify the asset by appending the asset to the URL, followed by the path of the new asset.

The Asset Path property lets you configure an existing display to use other assets that share the same AF template. To do this:

1. Obtain the paths of the assets you want to use to replace the existing assets on the display. You can find these paths in PI Vision search results, or in PI System Explorer.

2. Specify the asset path in this property to show in a display.

   Path for a data item on a PI AF server: \\AFServerName\DatabaseName\ParentElement\ChildElement

The following screenshot shows a number of saved displays on the PI Vision server.

Note: Dashboard displays can be configured to show the status of different assets as you navigate around your system, via the Follow Current Context property. See Contextualized dashboard displays for more information.
