HP Large Horizontal Separator with Connector

• Indicate active separation service in the running state.
• Indicate warning and critical states with configurable colors.
• Animate a blinking effect when the separator is in warning or critical state.
• Trigger separate dashboard actions when the widget is clicked in its warning state or critical state.
• Trigger a general dashboard action when the widget symbol is clicked in any non-alarm state.
• Receive state data from device attributes, time series, alarm status, or dashboard state.

1. Open the dashboard and switch to edit mode.
2. Click Add widget at the top, or the Add new widget icon in the center of the screen.
3. Open the High-performance SCADA oil & gas widget bundle.
4. Select HP Large horizontal separator with connector.
5. Configure the widget settings, then click Add.

The widget connects to a single data source: either a Device or an Entity alias that resolves to a device. This device provides the telemetry or attribute values used to drive the widget’s visual state.

The SCADA symbol defines the visual shape of the widget. The HP Large horizontal separator with connector widget has a pre-selected symbol from the High-performance SCADA oil & gas bundle. To use a different symbol, click Browse SCADA symbol from gallery and choose one from the library, or upload your own.

Behavior parameters define what the widget displays and how it responds to user interaction, driven by real-time data from the connected device.
