Adding Widgets to the OMNIA Dashboard

Adding Widgets to the OMNIA Dashboard

The OMNIA dashboard is the central hub for your access control system, the dashboard allows you to easily see useful information and make commonly used tasks available in one central page.

The OMNIA dashboard is the central hub for your access control system, the dashboard allows you to easily see useful information and make commonly used tasks available in one central page. 

From the dashboard, you can view status of doors, see live access transactions, view health aspects of the system and set up shortcuts that allow you to quickly do common tasks without having to leave the dashboard. 

Here is a list of available widgets: 

  • Access Group capacity Graph – Shows a graphical representation of people with a particular access group that are inside a given zone. 
  • Commands – Shows executable commands such as remote door open. 
  • Enrollment Graph – Total enrollments for the week and highest, lowest enrollments. 
  • Find Image – Shows the images of the person with matching id number. 
  • IP Camera – View live feed from an IP camera. 
  • Last 10 Transactions – Shows the last 10 transactions for a person. 
  • Live! – Shows a live view of access in the system. 
  • Monitor Comms Queue – Shows total queue size and total offline controllers. 
  • Monitor Door – Monitor a single door or reader on site. 
  • Quick Enroll – Enroll a person or asset. 
  • Shortcut – Shortcut loads a user defined view when clicked.

Once logged in to OMNIA, select the menu item at the top left ‘Dashboard’. 

To add a widget, click on the blue plus sign at the top right.

Here I have sellected “Commands” and Set the command to act on a site level, this will allow me to reset Anti-Passback on the site. 

Note that you can customize the widget colors. 

The dashboard optimizes itself, always trying to fill empty space, so newly created widgets will fill from the top left, you can move widgets by dragging them. 

Once your widget is where you want it, click the green check at the top right.  

This is the completed widget. From here you can put the site into LOCKDOWN (If configured), EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN (If configured) or reset APB LOCKDOWN (If configured).
