The Console is an important feature in DataBee that allows you to customize your visual display of data. It gives you a bird's eye view of your data in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to monitor performance, view feed health, and identify trends. The time range filter at the top right lets you select a time frame for displaying the data. For example, choosing Past 1 Week updates all widgets to show data from the last seven days.
Manage Console
Click on the Manage Console button which displays a dropdown that allows you to create, edit, delete, and restore the default console.
Create Console
You can create a new console by clicking on the Create Console button under the Manage Console dropdown. An option dialog box will appear, prompting you to enter a name for the console in the 'Name' field. Select the preferred time frame from the ‘Time Range’ dropdown. The chosen global time range applies to the entire console and will be used by any widget that does not have a specific time range set. If you want to make this console your default one, check the 'Make Default' checkbox. Please note that checking this box will replace any prior default console you may have configured. Click on the Create button to create your new console. To find your newly created console, click on the Console tab at the top left, and look for it in the drop-down menu. By default, the newly created console will be empty, but you can easily customize it by adding widgets and arranging them to fit your needs.
Edit Console
To edit an existing console, select the console you wish to edit from the Console dropdown list. Click on the Manage Console dropdown button and select Edit Console. Make the required edits and click on the Edit button to save the changes.
Delete Console
To delete an existing console, select the console you wish to delete from the Console dropdown list. Click on the Manage Console dropdown button and select Delete Console. Click on the Delete button to permanently delete the console.
Note:
Deleting the console will also remove all widgets configured within it.
Reset Console
If you wish to restore the default console provided by DataBee, click on the Manage Console dropdown button, select Restore Default Console, and then click on the Reset button.
Widgets
You can add a widget by clicking on the + Add Widget button. This will take you to the Add Widget option dialog box. You can select the preferred widget type, from the 'Widget Type' drop-down list.

You can click on each widget type to read a brief description and also get a preview before selecting it for your console. After selecting the widget type, click on the Next button. Depending on the widget type you have chosen, you will be presented with specific data fields that are relevant to that particular widget type. Fill in the required fields with the appropriate data and then click on the Save button.
After adding a widget, the "Console" page will display a visual representation of the data in the form of a pictorial or graphical element. This allows you to quickly and easily view and analyze your data at a glance, and identify trends, patterns, and anomalies, enabling you to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions based on the information presented. You can resize widgets by dragging the arrow located at the bottom right corner of each widget. You can also rearrange widgets effortlessly through the drag-and-drop functionality.
