Display Mode

When in display mode, the widget is shown in accordance with its current configuration, and any functionality it affords is available to the user.

The following are available at a widget’s toolbar when displayed in a Dashboard (permissions notwithstanding):

      Refresh: available at relevant widgets.  Clicking this button refreshes the widget with its latest available data.

      Share as Pulse: this button is shown at the Chart, Count Results and Channel Overview widgets.  It allows you to share an image of the current state of a widget as a Pulse message.  Sharing of widget content as a Pulse is discussed in its own section within this documentation.

      Options: clicking this button displays a context menu.

Configure: displays the widget's configuration overlay.

Size: allowing the widget’s size to be defined as Normal, Wide or Entire Width.

Copy Data to Clipboard (where applicable): invocation copies the current data to the clipboard and displays an informational message.  Data is copied in a tab-delimited format.

Copy Image to Clipboard: invocation copies an image of the widget to the clipboard and displays an informational message.

Save As: clicking this button displays the Save Widget As File System Dialog, facilitating the saving of the widget as an autonomous file in the RPI file system.  When saved, the file has a type of Widget, and a sub-type as per the type of widget in question.  Note that you cannot open a widget file directly.

Clone: clicking this button creates an exact copy of the current widget, and places it in the next ordinal position in the current dashboard.  Clone is not available when the maximum number of widgets are already present in the dashboard.

Remove: clicking this button removes the widget (and all of its associated configuration) from the dashboard.  Remove is protected by an ‘Are You Sure?’  dialog.
