Adding Widgets; Widget Customization - Raymarine ALPHA Operating Instructions Manual

6.1 Adding widgets

Depending on the space available, you may be able to add one or more
widgets to your page.
Note:
For information on how to create a new data page, refer to the following
section: p.23 — Page creation
Note:
Before adding a widget to your page, ensure that there is sufficient space
available. If a widget cannot fit into the defined space that you have
selected then it will be greyed out.
In order to add a widget:
1. Either:
• Tap-hold in the space available and select [Add data] when prompted.
• Or if you are viewing a [Data combo] page, tap one of the [Data combo]
widget templates that are available onscreen and select [Add data].
A [Select data category] menu will appear.
2. Then, either:
• Select the [Search bar] located at the top of the [Select data category]
menu in order to directly search for a specific data item. Once pressed,
an onscreen keyboard will appear.
– Enter the name of the data item that you wish to create a widget for
and select from the list of results available.
– Select the type of widget that you wish to create.
Note: If two or more data items exist with the same name but they apply
to different data categories (e.g. the [Oil temperature] data item name
is found within both the [Engine] and [Generator] data categories), then
the applicable data category will also appear alongside each name
instance.

• Or, browse the [Select data category] menu and select a category to
view the full range of related data items that are available.
– (If required) select the battery, engine, fuel tank, generator or water
tank that you wish to create a widget for.
– Browse the data item list and select the type of data that you wish to
create a widget for.
– Select the type of widget that you wish to create.
Your widget will now appear onscreen in the space that you previously
selected.
Note:
• The unit of measurement shown on each widget is dependent on
the [Units] settings that have been configured on your connected
multifunction display / chartplotter. For more information, refer to the
LightHouse™ 4 Advanced Operation Instructions (81406).
