Creating a Web Card

About Web Cards

Web cards can display webpages. The webpage must be HTTPS with a public URL (no on-premise IPs), and the site must allow HTML Inline Frame (iframe) elements.

Watch the following video for a demonstration of a few of the applications listed below.

Applications include:

  • Documents

  • Live, cloud-based camera feeds

    Note: This does not include local CCTV camera feeds.

  • Node-RED dashboards

  • Videos

    Note: For a video on YouTube, use the address within the iframe tag found within Share > Embed below the video (for example, https://www.youtube.com/embed/_f3ijEWDv8k). A URL taken directly from the YouTube browser window will not work.

  • Weather radar

  • Webpages with forms for submission

Creating the Card

  1. With the dashboard that you want to add the card to displayed, select Add Instance.

  2. Select Card, which opens the card staging area.

  3. Select Web from the card type options at the left.

  4. Enter a Card title.

    Note: See About Web Cards for guidance about valid URLs.

  7. Select Validate URL.

    Note: If the URL is valid, a notification that reads "[URL] can be embedded" will appear briefly. If it is invalid, the message will read, "Please make sure this is an https URL with a valid source, and the X-Frame-Options header is set to allow".

  8. Select Add.

  9. Choose either Add to Top of Dashboard or Add to Bottom of Dashboard.
