#  New Layout: Tabs

We know that managing multiple data sources and visualizations can get overwhelming. To streamline your workflow, we've introduced a new layout: Tabs.

Tabs allow you to organize your widgets into separate, easily navigable sections, reducing clutter and making it easier to focus on specific datasets. Whether you're monitoring system performance, tracking KPIs, or managing IoT devices, Tabs will help you stay organized and efficient.

Whether you're setting thresholds, configuring parameters, or simply inputting data, this widget makes it easy to adjust values with precision. It’s ideal for use cases where user interaction with numerical data is required, such as controlling devices or updating settings in real time.

Our new Battery Gauge provides a clear visual representation of battery status, allowing you to quickly assess power levels and take action if necessary. It’s perfect for IoT deployments, mobile sensors, or any system where battery life is a key consideration.
