The document display allows you to display one or more images or PDF files on a tile. You can only use the tile type with the data source Documents (relative to the ibaDaVIS server). This is available by default and does not need to be configured in data source management.
The following configuration options are available for document display.
Files
Here you can select specific files or folders that contain files for display. You can select multiple files or folders. Only images or PDF files whose formats are compatible are offered.
Options
Next to each other/On top of each other/Gallery mode
Choose how the files or images are arranged.
If you select the Gallery mode option, the file contents are displayed as thumbnails on the tile. When you click on a thumbnail, the detailed view opens in the foreground.
Behavior of the tile on the dashboard
If you have selected one or more folders as the file source, the files they contain will be sorted according to their creation date and displayed on the tile. Initially, the tile always displays the last or most recent file. If the tile does not display a document, check the time range set in the dashboard filter.
In addition to the time filter, which filters files by their creation date, you can use the Selected files filter to define the number of documents displayed. Choose between the predefined filters "Last 3/5/10 files" or select the option "Last n files" and enter a custom value.
