What Are Multi-Page Dashboards?

What is it?

A dashboard can have up to 3 pages. Each page is its own screen of widgets. When a dashboard has more than one page, PowerRadar rotates between them on its own. Each page fades into the next. After the last page, it loops back to the first and keeps going.

Why use it?

• Show more on one dashboard. Each page holds up to 9 slots of widgets, so one dashboard can hold three times as much.
• Run an unattended display. A TV on a factory floor or in a lobby can cycle through all your key metrics without anyone touching it.
• Keep related views together. Put one line, building, or system on each page instead of building separate dashboards and switching between them.
• Control the pace. You choose how many seconds each page stays on screen.

Before You Start

What you'll need:

• The Optimize package. Creating and editing dashboards, including adding pages, requires Optimize. Visualize sites have a single default dashboard that can't be edited.
• A dashboard you created. You can only edit dashboards you built yourself. These appear under Created by me in the Dashboards list. To work with a teammate's Public dashboard, choose Duplicate from its ⋮ menu. The copy is yours to edit.
• Permission to manage dashboards. If you can't edit your own dashboards, ask your administrator to check your user permissions.

To learn how to create a dashboard and add widgets, see Adding Widgets to Your Dashboard — and Sharing It.

Heads up: Always click Save before you leave the editor. Renaming a page or adding an empty page doesn't count as an unsaved change. If you click Back without saving, those changes are lost without a warning.

Adding and Managing Pages

Every dashboard starts with one page, named Page 1. You manage pages from the tabs at the top of the dashboard editor. Rotation is paused while you're editing, so pages only change when you click their tabs.

Add a page

1. Open the dashboard for editing.
2. Click the + button next to the page tabs. Its tooltip reads "Add new tab". A new, empty page opens.
3. Click Add widget to start filling the new page.
4. Click Save.

New pages are named Page 2 and Page 3 by default. Once a dashboard has 3 pages, the + button is disabled. Hovering over it shows: "Maximum of 3 tabs reached. Close a tab to add a new one."

Note: Some messages in the editor say "tab" instead of "page." Both words mean the same thing here.

Switch between pages

Click a page's tab to open it. Any widget you add goes onto the page that's currently open.

Rename a page

1. Hover over the page's tab. A ⋮ icon appears on it.
2. Click the ⋮ icon and choose Rename page.
3. Type a name in the Page title field.
4. Click Save in the window, then Save the dashboard.

A clear page name, such as "Line 2 — Compressors", helps whoever edits the dashboard next. Page names appear only on the tabs in the editor. They don't show in normal view, in full screen, or on mobile.

If you clear the name, the page goes back to its default name, such as Page 2. Long names are shortened on the tab with "…".

Remove a page

You can remove any page, including Page 1, as long as the dashboard has at least 2 pages.

1. Hover over the page's tab and click the ⋮ icon, then choose Remove page. You can also click the × on the tab.
2. If the page has widgets, PowerRadar asks you to confirm: "This page and its widgets will be removed. This can't be undone." Click Remove page. An empty page is removed right away.
3. Click Save.

Removing a page deletes every widget on it. The widgets don't move to another page. Any pages after it move up one place and keep their names.

Changed your mind before saving? Click Back, then Discard changes. The page and its widgets come back.

How Much Fits on a Page

Each page is a grid of 9 slots: three rows of three.

• Most widgets take 1 slot.
• Wide widgets take 2 slots side by side in a row.

These widgets are wide:

When is Weather wide?

Each detail you turn on adds points. Wind, Precipitation, and Sunrise and Sunset count 2 points each. Visibility, Cloudiness, Humidity, and Pressure count 1 point each. Feels like and High and Low don't add points. Above 4 points, the widget becomes wide. For example, Wind + Precipitation + Visibility = 5 points, so the widget is wide.

The slot counter

The Add widget button shows how many slots the open page is using, for example 5/9. Two wide widgets and one regular widget add up to 5. Hovering over the button shows: "Add up to 9 slots to this page. A wide widget takes two slots."

When a page is full, the Add widget button is disabled. Hovering over it shows: “This page is full. Remove a widget or add another page.”

When there's no room for a wide widget

A wide widget needs two free slots next to each other in the same row. If the page doesn't have them, Last 7 days and 7 days meters & sensors data are greyed out in the Add widget window. Hovering over one shows: "This widget needs two slots. There isn't enough room on this page." This can happen even when the counter shows a few free slots, if they aren't next to each other.

If you change a widget's settings in a way that makes it wide, and there's no room, PowerRadar won't apply the change. You'll see: "There isn't room for a wider widget on this page. Free up a slot or move the widget to another page." To move a widget to another page, remove it from this page, then add it again on the other page.

Note: Widgets always stay on the page you add them to. You can't drag a widget from one page to another.

Setting the Rotation Speed

You choose how long each page stays on screen before the dashboard moves to the next one. The Rotate every setting appears once a dashboard has 2 or more pages.

1. Open the dashboard for editing.
2. Open the Rotate every dropdown at the right end of the page-tab bar.
3. Choose an interval: Off, 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, or 60s. The default is 15s.
4. Click Save.

The setting is saved with the dashboard. Everyone who views the dashboard sees it rotate at the same speed, including on a TV in full screen.

Choosing a speed

• 10s–15s suits short, glanceable pages, such as a few big numbers.
• 30s–60s gives people time to read detailed charts.

Turning rotation off

Choose Off if you want a multi-page dashboard that never changes pages on its own. Viewers can still click the page dots to move between pages. The play icon is disabled, and hovering over it shows: "Please choose a timer value for automatic scrolling".

Watching a Dashboard Rotate

When you open a saved dashboard with more than one page, it starts on page 1 and starts rotating. A small control appears at the bottom of the widget area. It has a play/pause icon and one dot for each page.

The countdown

The dot for the page that's showing fills up as a countdown. Hover over the control to see how many seconds are left before the next page, for example 20s.

Stop and restart rotation

• While the dashboard is rotating, hovering over the icon shows "Stop the dashboard from rotating". Click it to stay on the current page.
• While it's stopped, hovering over the icon shows "Rotate through the dashboard pages". Click it to start rotating again.

Rotation doesn't stop when you move your mouse over the dashboard. Use the icon when you want time to read a page.

Jump to a page

Click any page dot to go straight to that page. This also stops rotation. Click the play icon when you want the dashboard to start cycling again.

If a dashboard has only one page, there's no rotation and no page control.

Notes:

• Your stop isn't saved. Stopping rotation only affects your own screen. The next time you open the dashboard, it starts on page 1 and rotates again.
• Each page refreshes when it appears. Only the page on screen loads data. When a page rotates back into view, it shows its last values briefly, then updates.

Showing a Dashboard on a TV or Big Screen

Multi-page dashboards are built for always-on displays, such as a TV on a factory floor or a screen in a reception area.

1. Open the dashboard on the computer connected to the display.
2. Click the full-screen icon next to the dashboard name. Its tooltip reads "Click here for a fullscreen view".
3. Leave it running. The dashboard fills the screen and rotates through its pages on its own.

In full screen, the header shows the Panoramic Power logo in the top-right corner. The same play/pause icon and page dots appear at the bottom, so you can still stop rotation or jump to a page. If you stopped rotation before entering full screen, it stays stopped. Click the play icon to start it.

To leave full screen, press Esc or click the full-screen icon again.

Tips for an unattended display

• Make it the default. Choose Set as my default from the dashboard's ⋮ menu in the Dashboards list. The display then opens straight to this dashboard.
• Check that it's rotating. Before you walk away, make sure the icon at the bottom shows pause, not play.
• Give each page one theme. For example, one page per production line, or one page for power and one for alerts.
• Check it from across the room. Big numbers and simple charts read better from a distance than detailed tables.

On the Mobile App

Multi-page dashboards you build on the web also appear in the PowerRadar mobile app on Optimize sites. The app doesn't rotate between pages. It shows every widget in one scrolling column: page 1 first, then page 2, then page 3. Page names aren't shown.

Troubleshooting

• Symptom: The Add widget button is disabled, but the page doesn't look full. Fix: Check the counter. Wide widgets use 2 slots, so a page can reach 9/9 with fewer than 9 widgets. Remove a widget, or add another page.
• Symptom: Last 7 days is greyed out in the Add widget window. Fix: It needs two free slots side by side in one row. Add it to another page, or remove a widget to free up two neighboring slots.
• Symptom: The dashboard doesn't rotate. Fix: Make sure it has more than one page and that Rotate every isn't set to Off. If rotation was stopped, click the play icon at the bottom of the dashboard.
• Symptom: My new page name or empty page disappeared. Fix: It wasn't saved. Click Save before leaving the editor.
• Symptom: I dragged widgets into a new order, but the order didn't save. Fix: Make your browser window wider. When the dashboard area is narrower than about 1,024 pixels, the editor shows fewer columns and doesn't save reordering.
• Symptom: I can't edit a dashboard. Fix: You can only edit dashboards you created. To make your own version, choose Duplicate from its ⋮ menu.
• Symptom: A widget appears on a page where nobody put it. Fix: This can happen on dashboards created before mid-August 2026. Remove the widget, then add it again on the page where you want it.

Things to Know

Notes:

• Up to 3 pages, 9 slots each. Most widgets use 1 slot. Wide widgets use 2.
• Optimize only. Visualize sites have a single default dashboard that can't be edited.
• One speed per dashboard. Every page uses the same Rotate every interval, and every viewer sees the same speed.
• Rotation is paused while editing. It starts once you save and view the dashboard.
• Opening a dashboard always starts on page 1. PowerRadar doesn't remember the last page you viewed.
• Duplicating keeps your pages. Duplicate copies every page, page name, widget, and the rotation speed. The copy is named "Copy of" plus the original name.
• Mobile scrolls instead of rotating. All pages appear in one column on the mobile app.
