Attributes Card

Attributes card widget

The Attributes card widget displays one or more attributes or the latest telemetry values from an entity as a compact key–value list, with each data key on its own row. Use it on device detail pages or monitoring dashboards to surface multiple live readings at a glance — without dedicating a separate widget to each value.

  • Show multiple attributes or telemetry keys from a single entity as a compact key–value list.
  • Add multiple datasources — each renders as a separate labeled section inside the same widget.
  • Per-datasource label and filter to narrow the displayed dataset.
  • Global unit and decimal precision settings, overridable per data key.
  • Data export (CSV/XLSX) and fullscreen controls in the widget header.
  1. Open the dashboard in edit mode. Click Add widget in the top toolbar, or click the Add new widget icon in the center of an empty dashboard.
  2. In the widget bundle selection dialog, find and click Cards.
  3. Select the Attributes card widget.
  4. Configure the datasources and appearance, then click Add.

The widget supports multiple datasources, each added via Add datasource. Five datasource types are available:

Type Required fields Description
Entity Entity alias, Data keys Reads attributes or telemetry from entities matched by an entity alias
Device Device, Data keys Reads from a specific device selected by name
Function Data keys Generates synthetic values using built-in functions (Sin, Cos, Random) — useful for testing layouts without live data
Entities count Entity alias, Data keys Returns the count of entities matched by the alias
Alarms count Data keys Returns the count of active (or filtered) alarms

Each datasource also accepts an optional Label shown as the section header in the widget and an optional Filter to narrow which entities or alarms are included.

Setting Description
Maximum entities per datasource Upper bound on how many entities are loaded from each datasource (default: 1024)
Setting Description
Units by default Unit string appended to all displayed values unless overridden by individual data key configuration
Decimals by default Default number of decimal places for numeric values; applies widget-wide unless overridden per data key
“No data to display” alternative message Custom text shown inside the widget when no data is available

Standard card settings shared across all ThingsBoard widgets.
