Entities cards

Who it’s for

Anyone managing many similar entities — devices, assets, rooms, vehicles — asks “how do I see each one’s latest numbers at a glance without one giant table?” A facility manager scans a card per room instead of scrolling a wide table sideways. A fleet dispatcher wants one tap on a vehicle’s card to jump straight to its own dashboard, without hunting for a row in a data grid first.

What it does

A fleet of 40 trucks, paginated 10 per page, each renders as its own card listing Speed, Fuel level, and Engine temp with their own units and decimals — page through the rest without loading all 40 up front.

• One card per entity, built automatically from whatever the datasource or entity alias resolves; each card’s title uses that entity’s own Label, falling back to its Name
• Every configured key becomes its own row on every card, formatted with that key’s own Units and Decimals
• Server-side pagination fetches only the current page’s entities, so a list of hundreds doesn’t load all at once
• A row of icon-button actions on every card, configured once and applied to every entity
• Independent styling for the entity name, metric labels, and metric values — color, font family, size, weight, and style each on their own
• Lists whatever keys are bound; a key that has never reported for an entity is left off that card rather than shown as a blank row

How to set up

Data keys

Key	Role	Type	Description
Data keys (any number, user-configured)	One metric row per key, per card	Timeseries or Attribute	Formatted with that key’s own Units and Decimals; the key’s own Label (or name) becomes the row’s label

Add keys the same way as any latest-value widget — there are no per-key settings specific to this card. Every bound entity gets its own card listing every key that has reported at least once for it; a key that has never reported for a given entity is left off that entity’s card entirely, while a key that has reported but whose latest value is null or blank shows as “No info” instead of a number.

Pagination

Setting	Default	Effect
Show pagination	On	On: fetches only the current page’s entities through a dedicated paginated subscription. Off: fetches every bound entity at once and hides the paginator
Page size options	10, 20, 30	The choices offered in the paginator; the first value doubles as the page size the widget opens with — there is no separate default-page-size setting

How to customize

• To restyle the entity name (card title) — set Color and the font settings under Entity name styles.
• To restyle metric labels — set Color and the font settings under Metric label styles.
• To restyle metric values — set Color and the font settings under Metric value styles.

Tips

• Card actions are configured once, under the widget’s Actions tab, action source Card action — every action added there renders as its own icon button on every card; there is no per-entity action list.
• The card action icon’s color isn’t exposed in the settings panel — every action button currently renders in the same fixed dark color regardless of your other style choices.
• With Show pagination off, keep the bound entity count reasonable — every entity loads in one request instead of a page at a time.
