Entity card

The entity card gives you a quick overview of your entity’s state.

To add the entity card to your user interface:

1. In the top right of the screen, select the edit button.
   • If this is your first time editing a dashboard, the Edit dashboard dialog appears.
     • By editing the dashboard, you are taking over control of this dashboard.
     • This means that it is no longer automatically updated when new dashboard elements become available.
     • Once you’ve taken control, you can’t get this specific dashboard back to update automatically. However, you can create a new default dashboard.
     • To continue, in the dialog, select the three dots menu, then select Take control.
2. Add a card to your dashboard.

All options for this card can be configured via the user interface.
