Troubleshooting

Anyone who reaches SCADash can see or change everything

This is expected until you configure security — see Getting started → Securing SCADash. Enable Authentication with Token under Project Settings → System and, if you want a login screen on the runtime dashboard too, Show login on start under Project Settings → Layout.

A view is blank in the runtime dashboard

  • Nothing may have been placed on that view yet — open it in the Editor and check.
  • A widget with no data shows nothing meaningful until its tag is actually reporting values — confirm the connection it belongs to is Enabled and its Status is Ok under Setup → Connections.

A PLC connection type isn't available when adding a connection

Only WebAPI, MQTTclient, and internal ship by default. Install the matching driver from Plugins first — for example, MODBUS for Modbus devices, SIEMENSS7 for Siemens PLCs, or MELSEC for Mitsubishi PLCs.

Reports or notifications aren't being emailed

Confirm SMTP is configured under Project Settings → SMTP, and use its Test button to send a test message before troubleshooting further.

"Lab" in the floating menu

Lab is an experimental area with no real content in this build — it isn't covered by this manual and isn't part of normal SCADash use.
