Add Widget
Locate Dashboards from the Widget toolbar and click to Add or Grab to drag and drop to a Region.
On adding, configuration options are shown in the right hand properties panel:
- Use the drop down to select the dashboard service Type to use from the ones that have been configured in the connector.
- Provide a Name for easier identification.
- Choose to override the default Duration if required.
- In the Link field, enter the URL to embed from your chosen dashboard.

- Save changes
Once you are showing your dashboards on displays, the service will keep your dashboards updated at the interval you specify so it will always be ready to show and appear instantly on Displays.
If you stop showing a dashboard on your displays for a time, then the service will stop refreshing it, but will start again automatically the next time that dashboard is shown.

Please note: If Xibo detects an error with a request for dashboard services, you will see a red banner message over the top of a screengrab to give an indication to the user where the problem has occurred. This will be shown in the Layout Designer previewer only for the logged in user. The Layout Preview and Displays showing the scheduled Layout will continue to show the last good capture or a spinner icon until the issue has been resolved.
