ContextHub View Tile

The ContextHub view tile enables you to visualize context data based on a saved context view. After selecting this type of tile in the "Create new tile" side panel and specifying the desired context view, a display mode can be chosen. There are three different display modes, each with their specific purpose:

Note

Some display modes are only available if the selected view meets certain criteria. The "Gantt" display mode is only available if the selected view contains a component filter.

  • Count - The display mode "count" simply displays the number of context items within a certain context view in a clear way. This could be used, for example, to monitor event types that represent critical issues, or keep track of the number of batches produced by a production line over a given time period.

  • Table - The "table" display mode allows you to directly embed a ContextHub table into DashHub. The table configuration (columns, sorting, etc.) is directly inherited from the corresponding context view. You can interact directly with context items in the table, as clicking on any row in the table will open the context item detail panel.

  • Gantt - Similar to the "table" display mode, the "Gantt" display mode will directly embed a ContextHub Gantt chart into DashHub. The Gantt configuration (timeframe, pinned rows, etc.) is directly inherited from the corresponding context view. You can interact directly with the context items on the chart, as clicking on any item will open the context item detail panel.
