Dynamic panel name according to edge name

[Borch97]

Component

• UI

Description I have about 200 edge instances deployed and they all have the same dashboard deployed, tailored to the edge data. I want the name of the panel to be for example: "${EdgeName} - Energy".

How could I do it without creating a panel for each instance?

Thanks in advance.

Currently, there is no built-in functionality to display the Edge name in a specific widget out-of-the-box. However, this is a great feature idea for the future.

For now, you can use the following workaround: create an alias to fetch all edges entities and display the name of the fetched edges. On the cloud, this alias will randomly select one of your edges and display its name. On the edge, this alias will select the exact name of the dedicated edge.

Here are screenshots of the configuration of the dashboard and alias on the cloud:

As you can see, the title of the dashboard differs from edge to edge. I hope this approach can meet your goals for the moment.
