Value Display
What Does This Widget Do?
The Value Display widget is designed to take a simple data value and display it with context on the experience.
When Should I Use This Widget?
Use a Value Display when you want to include a simple property value from ThingWorx in an experience. For example, if a service technician is performing maintenance on a generator and you want to display the power status of the generator in the experience, you could use a Value Display widget and bind the PowerStatus property of the generator to the Value Display widget as Data.
