How to use multiple databases

Multiple Tango databases can be accessed via Taranta. To make them available, a list of databases should be provided under the TANGO_DATABASES key in the config.json file. This setup will redirect the API calls to the appropriate backend. Please note that you should ensure that a backend service is available for the Tango databases provided. This can also be achieved (e.g., in a development environment) by modifying the setupProxy.js file, where proxies for db and socket should be set.

Sharing dashboards

Dashboards can be shared among groups. To share a dashboard, the user must be logged in and click on the “Share” icon in the top menu.

IMG2

Once clicked, a popup will appear, as shown in the image, where the user can select which group to share the dashboard with, based on the list of groups associated with their account. Additionally, the user can choose whether the shared dashboard can be edited by group members or is only available for viewing.

IMG3

When a dashboard is shared, the “Share” icon will turn green. If you wish to stop sharing, click the “Share” button again and select “No one” as the group. At this point, a message will appear confirming that the dashboard is no longer shared, and the icon color will return to black.

Users belonging to the same group as the shared dashboard will find it in the Dashboard Tab in the right pane, at the bottom labeled “Shared Dashboard,” where all shared dashboards are grouped by their respective groups.

Shared dashboards without editing privileges are not editable. However, users can still explore the configuration of individual widgets in the inspector and the Layer tab, but interaction is not possible since it is restricted.
