Custom widgets
Your data, as a component on the canvas.
A widget is a piece of a layout that shows information rather than a picture of information. Custom widgets are the ones built for how a particular organization works.
Static custom widgets
A component with content defined in the workspace. Available from Starter.
API custom widgets
A component that reads from an endpoint you control. Available from Business.
Offline widget snapshot
The last value a widget received, kept so the layout does not show a hole when the source is unreachable.
Data binding
A number on a screen is a promise about a number in a system.
Which is why binding is not only about fetching a value — it is about what happens to it on the way, and what appears when it does not arrive.
Binding
Connect a supported data source to a component in the layout.
Formatter
Present the value the way the room expects to read it.
Fallback
Decide what shows when the source is unavailable, instead of leaving it to chance.
Snapshot
Keep the last good value locally so a brief outage is not visible on the wall.
Data binding, formatter, fallback and offline widget snapshot are available from the Business plan upward.
