The Readerboard
 The Readerboard FactoryWidget® displays data and information in a message board type display, similar to what is typically seen hanging from shop floors in the form of LED displays and other proprietary hardware.
The data displayed in the Readerboard will be the value of an item in your Data Source.
The Readerboard can change color based on a bit in your Data Source. This is done by configuring one or both of the priority settings. You can also make the text blink based on this priority bit becoming true.
You can configure a link to display any web page when the user clicks on the value on the Readerboard.
Example configuration screens for the Readerboard are shown below.
