Public dashboard

A public dashboard can be opened by anyone who has its link, without logging in. It is always read-only.

On ThingsBoard Edge, public dashboards work the same as on the ThingsBoard server, with a few differences:

  • The public link uses the local address of the Edge: http://<Edge-IP>:8080/dashboard/<dashboard-id>?publicId=<public-customer-id>.
  • The dashboard keeps working on the local network when the Edge has no connection to the server. It shows live data from the devices on the Edge.
  • Changes you make to the dashboard on the Edge are synchronized to the server once the connection is restored.

For creating and editing dashboards, see Dashboards.

Make a dashboard public

Section titled “Make a dashboard public”

You make a whole dashboard group public, not a single dashboard. Dashboard groups are created and made public on the ThingsBoard server and then assigned to the Edge. The Edge UI has no Make public action.

  1. On the server, go to Monitor > Dashboards and open the Groups tab.
  2. Click the Make public icon in the row of the dashboard group and confirm. On the Edge, the Public column of the Groups tab shows a check mark for this group.
  3. On the Edge, go to Monitor > Dashboards, open the Groups tab, and open the group. Click the Public dashboard link icon in the row of the dashboard and copy the link from the dialog.

Make a dashboard private

Section titled “Make a dashboard private”

On the server, go to Monitor > Dashboards, open the Groups tab, click the Make private icon in the row of the dashboard group, and confirm. All public links of the dashboards in this group stop working, on the Edge too.
