Variables

The Variables tab allows you to attach a variable to your widgets.

1. Click the Datasource drop-down and select either Local or deviceWISE. For more information on adding a Local variable, see Adding a Local Variable.
2. Choose a Device, if you have selected a deviceWISE variable.
3. Click Variable and select a Variable you want to attach. The widget gets associated with the variable selected.
4. Select the Count. Depending on the Widget that is being created, it will affect its behavior, for example:

   1. Line Chart: Count defines how many points are used to draw the line; without it, the line is not created.

   2. Bubble Chart: Count controls how many bubbles are rendered; without it, bubbles do not appear.

   3. Heat Map: Count increases the number of cells per variable (e.g., from 1 square per variable to 4).

   4. Bar Chart: Count displays more instances of the array, increasing the number of bars shown.
