Description

Starting with the Fireball version of the platform, a functionality has been added to have a history when working on dashboards.

The history consists of automatic saves every 10 seconds, although it is configurable, and also saves by the user in the browser. At any time while the dashboard or the synoptic is being edited, you will be able to retrieve a previous version stored locally by accessing the localstorage object of the browsers.

Work flow

The history only appears in edit mode. This does not apply in view mode or with iframes:

When opening the dashboard, if there is a copy in local by the user that is newer than the one that is brought from the browser, you are asked whether you want to load that copy in local:

If so, the identifier reloads by going through the url to retrieve it when it opens again. Otherwise, it continues with the recovered version of the server.

A menu entry has been created to manage the history.

Historical

In this modal, you have several options:

  • Select a version stored by the user, you can see the date the save was made.

  • Select an auto saved version.

  • Save the work that you have done so far only locally without sending it to the server.

  • Or retrieve the version stored in the browser.
