Your device overview in the Portal can be viewed in a List view  or Card view  . Using the Card view, you can view more information from each machine in your device overview.

You can add one card to every machine, create as many different cards as you need, customize each card for a specific machine, and even create your own custom components. This will optimize the available information for every machine and will make the most important details available at a glance.

Please follow the steps below to get everything set up:

• Create a device card
• Link a device card to a device

Create a device card

     Data component options

     Setting	Description
     Aggregator	The time period displayed on a card generally contains more than one logged value. Some components, like a Single Value component, contain an aggregator setting to determine which value to display. The following aggregators are available: First Shows the first logged value in the displayed time period. Median Shows the middle logged value in the displayed time period. Last Shows the last logged value in the displayed time period. Min Shows the minimum logged value in the displayed time period. Mean Shows the average of all the logged values in the displayed time period. Max Shows the maximum logged value in the displayed time period. Sum Shows the sum of all the logged values in the displayed time period. Mode Shows the value that occurred most often in the displayed time period. Count Shows the amount of values logged in the displayed time period. Range Shows the difference between the minimum and the maximum logged value in the displayed time period. Difference-Last Shows the difference between the last value in the previous time period and the last value in the displayed time period.
     Decimals (optional)	Enter the amount of numbers you want to display after the decimal point.
     Unit (optional)	Enter the unit you wish to show behind the value. To apply the same unit in every component, leave the unit field empty and instead enter the unit at the Variable in your device's Data source in the Fleet Manager.
     Factor (optional)	Enter the factor you wish to apply to the logged value. May be used to translate grams to kilograms for example. This does not change the logged value. It only affects the displayed value. To apply the same factor in every component, leave the factor field empty and instead enter the factor at the Variable in your device's Data source in the Fleet Manager.

   • You can move (drag), resize (click and drag), copy & paste (right-click), and remove (right-click) components. Tip: you can also copy a component from one card and paste it onto another card.
   • When displaying a boolean in a component, use 0 instead of FALSE and 1 instead of TRUE in the component settings and rules.
   • A single card can later be used for multiple devices. Tips and information about creating dynamic cards that automatically adjust to the device can be found here: Dynamic cards, pages, and reports.
5. The card can be  Previewed in the top right corner to see how it would look like in the Portal.
