- You can view public dashboards without logging in, but you need authorization to create, customize and share your own.
What are they?
Dashboards are a way to view a collection of data on a single web page. There are two types:
Public Dashboards | Private Dashboards (currently not available) |
---|---|
|
|
What's included?
Dashboards can include the following types of data "widgets":
Widget Type | What it displays | Status |
---|---|---|
Audio | Hydrophone audio clips | Implemented for mp3 only |
Chart | Interactive plots of scalar values | Functional |
Data Player | Timeline of stitched together hydrophone spectrograms or Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data | Functional |
Data Preview | Pre-generated plots from Oceans 3.0 Data Preview | Functional |
Image | Images from anywhere on the Web | Functional |
Interactive Plot | Interactive saved plots from Oceans 3.0 Plotting Utility | Functional |
Latest Readings | Numerical instrument readings | Functional |
Text | Formatted text including headers and body text | Functional |
User Defined Tasks | Displays results of a task or routine defined within Oceans 3.0 Sandbox environment | In development |
Video | Plays video clips from on-shore and underwater cameras | Functional |
Why are these useful?
Dashboards are a 1-stop place to see collections of related information and data. This makes the latest data and recordings available at a single click. They are a great way to keep tabs on an underwater location of interest or get a snapshot of latest readings from an experiment.
