Manage widgets

The rocket icon appears on widgets with a source query that is not optimized, that is to say, an aggregation task has not been defined from the source query of the widget.

To optimize widget performance, simply click on the icon, select Create aggregation task, and introduce the settings in the window that appears. Visit Create a new aggregation task for more information about each setting as well as the process in general.

You can also create an aggregation task using the option in the ellipsis menu as explained in the table below or the option in the Network manager as explained in Manage and filter Activeboards.

The aggregation task will be automatically used in the widgets that are fed with that query.

• Even though your query is optimized with an aggregation task, you may still see the icon in your widgets. This happens when the date range set for the Activeboard is not within the aggregation task time range. For example, if your aggregation task start date is February 15, 2019 and you set your Activeboard time range to 01/01/2019 - 01/30/2019, your widgets will show the icon.

• Note that the icon will never appear when you select a period of time of less than one hour for your Activeboard or widget, even though your widget query is not optimized.

In case of any problem, contact the Devo support team for further information.

This icon indicates that the widget has a custom time range. To learn more about custom time ranges, go to Setting a time range in Activeboards.

When widgets receive real-time data, you will see the Real-Time icon next to the widget title. To learn more about the implications of real-time data, go to Time range options in Activeboards and Widgets.

When receiving real-time data, data retrieval will be a transparent process you barely notice. However, it might be slightly affected by a number of factors. When this happens, a spinner icon will appear to let you know the process is currently ongoing, together with a percentage to indicate the amount of data already retrieved.

This animation will also appear whenever you apply changes to your widgets, while they load the corresponding new data.

Open a new browser tab to take you to the search window and show you the data table for the query that feeds the widget.

Open a window where you can introduce the settings for a new aggregation task. Visit Create a new aggregation task for more information about each setting as well as the process in general.

This option will be grayed-out if the widget does not need to be optimized, in other words, if the rocket icon does not appear.
