# Widget synchronizationsTraining Material

### **Overview**

**Widget synchronization** is an advanced configuration that enables **interactive behavior** within the dashboard. When activated, it allows the user to **click on a specific part of a widget** to dynamically **update the data displayed in another widget**.

This feature enhances the exploratory capabilities of the dashboard by linking widgets together — making data navigation and contextual analysis more intuitive.

### **How It Works**

When **listener functionality** is enabled for a widget:

1. A **user action** (e.g., a click) on a specific part of the widget is detected.
2. The system retrieves **contextual information** (such as the selected asset, metric, or time range).
3. The **target widget(s)** are refreshed using this contextual data.

| **Source Widget** | **User Action** | **Target Widget(s)** | **Data Updated** | **Description** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Event Log** | Click on a specific event | XY Plot, Timeseries | Asset + From/To time range | When the user clicks a log entry, the related widgets update to display the corresponding asset data and time window. |
| **Asset Metric Chart** | Click on a specific bar | XY Plot | Asset | When the user clicks a bar in the chart, the XY Plot updates with the data from the selected asset. |

### **Activation**

Widget synchronization can be configured directly from the **dashboard editor**, within the **widget settings panel** of the target widget.

To enable synchronization, the dashboard must contain both:

- A **source widget**, which captures the user’s interaction (for example, a click on an Event Log entry or a bar in an Asset Metric Chart).
- A **target widget**, which will update its displayed data based on the information coming from the source widget.

In the **target widget**, open the **Advanced** tab and locate the **Synchronization** section. There, you can toggle synchronization with one or more compatible widgets — for instance in the XY plot:

- **Synchronize with Event Log selection**
- **Synchronize with Asset Metric Chart selection**

These parameters adjust the time range around the data received (asset and time window) and are particularly useful for displaying **contextual information** before and after the selected item.

  

For instance, applying a *1-day offset* allows the target widget to include data from one day before and after the selected range, offering a broader contextual view.

### **Disclaimer**

Currently, the **BI Manager** supports **multiple widget listeners per view**, but only **one active combination** of each listener type. This means you can have, for example, one **Event Log → XY Plot** synchronization and one **Asset Metric Chart → XY Plot** synchronization in the same view.

However, configuring **multiple pairs of the same listener type** (e.g., two Event Logs each linked to two XY Plots) is **not supported** at this stage and may cause unexpected behavior or instability in the BI interface.
