Long Horizontal Broken Pipe

• Represent a broken or damaged pipe segment visually in a SCADA fluid system diagram.
• Trigger a dashboard action when the symbol is clicked.
• Apply a custom color to the pipe element.

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 Traditional SCADA fluid system widget bundle.
4. Select the broken pipe widget for your use case.
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 context used for click actions.

The SCADA symbol defines the visual shape of the widget. Each broken pipe widget has a pre-selected symbol from the Traditional SCADA fluid system 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.
