Adafruit IO New Feature: Dashboard Headers @adafruitio #dashboard
Want to accessorize your Adafruit IO Dashboard? Do you have too many dashboards and want to differentiate between them?
The Adafruit IO Team has added Dashboard Headers to Adafruit IO Dashboards. What is a dashboard header? You can set an image (we have a sample of the exact image sizes here) to be displayed at the top of your dashboard.
You’ll need an active Adafruit IO+ subscription to use this feature, and you can move it right now.
1) Navigate to a dashboard on Adafruit IO
2) Click Edit Dashboard Settings
3) Next to the name of the dashboard, click Edit Dashboard
4) In the Edit Dashboard Pop-up, select a header image file.
5) Make sure an image is selected, and the Show Header Image box is ticked.
6) Click save and admire your dazzling new dashboard
