On first login you are greeted with the an empty dashboard screen where you can immediately start working. The entire area is split into the following sections:
- Main work area which is used for building dashboards. The work area is split into two main components: the interior work space, and the exterior workspace.
The interior workspace governs the bounds of what will become visible to the viewer when screen lock
is selected at the top of the screen.The bounds of the interior workspace can be defined when creating a new page, or altered within an already created page. This is done by selecting the edit icon
within the Views tab 
, then selecting background.
- It is best practice to match the dimensions of the workspace with the intended display dimensions.
Controls are split into 4 categories :
Views
: Viewsare where one can create, manage, and share all workspace views.Search
: Within Search, one can navigate to their desired data sources includingTags,Assets, andTimeframes.Tools
: Toolscontain all the necessary materials for propagating and stylizing your workspace view.Settings
: `Settings allow one to alter how information is visualized. Size, orientation, coloration, and attribute mapping among many other properties can be altered to any preference.
The sidebar can be collapsed by clicking the collapse button located in the bottom-right corner:
This is here workspace options are present to save, lock, and capture your current view, do and undo actions, zoom in and out within the view, and switch between full-screen and edit mode.
The top right
dropdown offers more options to manage data sources, drivers, and user preferences, as well as navigate to the XR editor and links to this documentation.

2. Adding Components
Components are the different methods used in visualizing data. They can be located within the Tools tab
When building views, it can be helpful to pop out the components to have them always accessible by dragging the drag-out symbol in the workspace. Resizing can be performed by holding the bottom right corner of any popout menu.
To place a component onto a working view area you can choose one of the following approaches:
Simply drag the component (Line Chart in our example) directly onto the work area. Drag and hold to relocate as needed.
Select the quick component (Line Chart in our example) to highlight it.
Now click on the work area where you want the top left corner of the component to begin and drag/resize the component as needed.
Press on the quick component again to unselect it.
First highlight the component you wish to use then navigate to Tags located within the Search tab.
In the search input field, locate the tag you wish to use and drag it into the workspace area.
