Build custom IoT dashboards in minutes.

Open Visualization, then Dashboards in the sidebar and click the Dashboard button in the top right. The create dialog asks for a name and three settings: Lock Dashboard Updates, which restricts editing to you; Public, on by default, which lets every user in the organization view the board; and Limited to Device, which scopes it to a single device or leaves it on all devices. Click Create and the board opens in the editor: widget palette on the left, 12-column canvas on the right. Add widgets, arrange them on the grid, and click Publish when the layout is ready. Each publish is recorded with a comment, and History lists previous versions and can restore one. The editor keeps a separate layout per screen size, from wall display down to phone.

The Add Widget palette is organized in four groups. Display widgets show current state: Status pairs a live value with a label, Radial draws it as a gauge, List and Generic cover tabular and free-form values, and Asset Table fills itself from your assets, grouped by location. Visualization widgets plot and map: Graph charts a time series, and Diagram embeds an interactive SCADA-style diagram. Interactive widgets act on the plant: Control sends commands back to a device, and Menu builds navigation between boards. Layout widgets such as Section, Text, Logic, Component, and IFrame structure the page, and they render without any data, which makes them a practical starting point on a new organization. Widgets that plot values bind to device variables, so once readings are stored, any widget can chart any point.

Yes. Edge HMI panels are installed on local machines and connect directly to the ControlCom Edge Server on the local network rather than to the cloud, so operators keep live values and controls on screen even while the site is offline. The Edge Server stores readings locally through an outage and syncs them to the cloud when the connection returns, so the historical record has no gaps. You build the board once in the cloud editor and run it in both places: on the control room wall as a local HMI with millisecond response, and in the browser for the wider team. High-security facilities run the same setup air-gapped, keeping control entirely local while choosing what synchronizes out. Full screen mode and multi-screen support cover wall displays and operator stations alike.

Access starts with role permissions: viewing boards requires the Read Dashboards permission, and creating, editing, and deleting each have their own permission that an administrator grants per role. Within that, each board carries its own visibility settings. A Public board can be viewed by every user in the organization; turn Public off and it stays under My Dashboards for its owner only. Lock Dashboard Updates restricts editing to the owner, the right setting for a board that should not drift once it is on a control room screen. Boards can also be assigned to an asset or a location, so the board becomes that equipment's default view wherever it appears in the platform. Reusable components share widget arrangements between boards, and the dashboard list has search and filters for status, device, and owner.
