Runtime view

The runtime view is what SCADash shows by default at http://<gateway-ip>:1881 — the live, read-oriented dashboard an operator would actually watch day to day, as opposed to the Editor used to build it.

Click the floating menu button (bottom-left) to switch between:

Floating menu

  • Home — the project's configured Start View.
  • Editor — leave runtime and go into the design surface.

If a project defines more than one view, the runtime page also carries a side or header navigation menu between views — whether it's shown at all, and which style, is controlled by Setup → Layout (see Project Settings).

What you'll actually see

The runtime view renders whatever widgets were placed on the current view in the Editor, live-updating from their bound tags: gauges, value displays, tables (like an Alarms list), buttons that write values back to a tag, trend charts, and so on.

On a freshly-set-up gateway with no views built out yet, the Start View is simply blank — there's nothing to show until someone builds a dashboard in the Editor.

If Show login on start is enabled under Layout, you'll be asked to sign in with a SCADash account (see Users & Roles) before the dashboard loads.
