Dashboards
A TV-sized board of live production numbers for the brewhouse, with its own display code.
A dashboard is a board of live numbers for a screen in the brewhouse or a browser tab: what's in each tank, barrels brewed this month, your last few batches. It plays from its own display code, like a TV menu, and can sit in a TV playlist.
The numbers come from your batches and tanks in Brewing.
Make a dashboard
Pick a starting layout
Open Dashboards and click New dashboard. Enter a Name and pick a layout under Start from:
- Simple: Blank, At a glance, Taproom welcome, Tall board (portrait)
- Advanced: Brewhouse control, Cellar wall, Production goals
- Trends & sparklines: Trend wall, Momentum
Click Create & open studio.
Add and arrange widgets
Click a widget in the left rail to add it. Drag widgets on the canvas to reorder them, and select one to change it on the right.
Put it on a screen
The code is at the right of the top bar; click it to open the live board. Enter that code on the TV.
Widgets
| Group | Widgets |
|---|---|
| Metrics | KPI tile (one headline number), Metric strip (several side by side), Goal gauge (a number against a target) |
| Charts | Production chart (barrels or batches over time), Beer mix (share by beer, as a donut) |
| Cellar | Cellar occupancy, Cellar grid (every tank with fill and status), Single tank |
| Lists | Recent batches, By beer (production per beer, ranked) |
| Text | Headline: a title, tagline or callout |
Metric widgets can show barrels (year to date, last month, last 3 or 12 months, all time), batches brewed, average batch size, what's fermenting now, tanks and open tanks, cellar utilization and capacity, barrels in tank, distinct beers brewed, your top beer, and days since the last brew.
Select a widget to set its Title, width and Height, Color, and what it measures. KPI tiles can add a Sparkline and Change vs prior period.
Set the board's look
In the top bar:
- 16:9 or 9:16 for the screen's shape.
- Dark or Light.
- The number of grid columns, and an accent color.
Under the canvas, pick a layout to start over. Replace this layout? warns that it replaces every widget, the theme and the grid; you can undo it.
Keep it on one screen
A dashboard doesn't scroll. If the widgets are taller than the screen, the studio warns Layout is taller than the frame, and the TV cuts off the bottom. Remove a widget or shrink some heights.
Archive or delete
Archive frees the dashboard's code, so TVs using it stop showing it; Restore gives it a new code. To delete a dashboard, archive it first, then delete it from the Archived tab.
