IFRAME Content

An IFRAME widget allows you to show content from an external URL in your Pulse dashboard widget and in the maximized dashboard view. You are responsible to adapt your external content to display what you want within Pulse.

Tip

Here is an example of an IFRAME html page including instructions within a README file:

• IFRAME example (ZIP).

Pulse does not change anything within iFrame, but enables scrollbars if the content is larger than the available area.

To add a new widget, you can always click on the right corner of the dashboard tab and select Add a Widget from the menu. For an IFRAME widget, select the IFRAME template.

Important

You require the appropriate user privileges to perform this action.

For an IFRAME widget, you need a web address for the Dashboard Widget URL. You may want to use a second web address for the Maximized Widget URL content, because widgets expanded to the size of the dashboard can display much more detail in charts than a regular dashboard widget can.

Widget Options

The available display options for IFRAME widgets include the following:

• Widget Title—The title appears at the top of your widget. Use this to identify the content of the widget.
• Size—The width and height ratio of your widget.
• Allow resize—Allow users to resize the widget.
• Widget refresh rate—The amount of time, in seconds, Pulse waits to update the widget content.
• Dashboard Widget URL—The web address of the content you want to display in your widget.
• Automatic refresh—Allows Pulse to automatically refresh the content as defined in the widget refresh rate.
• Maximized Widget URL—The web address of the content you want to display in your expanded widget.
• Automatic refresh—Allows Pulse to automatically refresh the content as defined in the widget refresh rate.
