This would make designing Tag Matrix in groov view easier:
In the properties of table variables, make the variable name and index separate field.
That way, I can configure multiple tag to have the same variable name (column) or the same index (row).
Gah, now I’m picturing theming in general. Like where choosing a page background color tweaks the default colors for buttons and text and the like, you could just design a theme for your application and set that instead.
This might combine a couple of previous requests, a state-based message display gadget. The gadget is tied to a single tag, usually integer. Tag values correspond to individual states. Each state can be configured with custom text, text properties (font, size, styling, etc.), text color, background color, and image. It would also be nice if the text can reference other tag values.
Add the ability to select multiple gadgets and if they are bound to a table, be able to change their index at the same time.
To expand on the above, add a setting that when copying and pasting gadgets that are bound to a table, that when you paste, the index is automatically incremented by one.
Edit: I have more, but three post limit… I guess they are for another day.
Just found this one. How about Time Zone by controller. When you have one groov dealing with controllers in different time zones the data gets trended according to the time zone the groov is set for, not the time in that controller. Makes viewing trends confusing. Not suggesting multiple controller time zones within a trend (baby steps), just a time zone for a trend based on the controller location. If this was a parameter that was set as part of the controller setup in groov it would be great.
Trend data is stored in UTC, so controller timezone shouldn’t matter. The issue is that groov uses its own timezone rather than the browsers for display.
Maybe if there was an option in groov to detect and use the browser timezone (or UTC offset rather), that would take care of that.
Also, if you change the timezone on a PR1, it has to be restarted before groov view will recognize it. It would also be nice if there was a way to restart various services in groov manage without having to reboot the whole PR1.
I read the request as “I have devices that I’m trending that are in multiple time zones, and I’d like the trend to reflect the time zone that the devices are in, not the one groov is in.”
So you wouldn’t want the browser’s time zone either.
I think I have a fix for that in the next release. There’ll still be a delay, but it should correct itself within a minute or so.
