Dashboard ID: 5d9264aa6cdb3e0006f151f5
I have a device with six attributes.
In the Device -\> Debug section, I can clearly see all six attribute data coming in via a Webhook, and then into the Device.
However, when I create a new block in the Dashboard, I only see FOUR of the attributes from the device. I’m confused why I don’t see all six attributes???

Hi @Mark_Nicholson,
Welcome to the Losant Forums 🙂
Could you attach a screenshot your block configuration?

Thanks!
Hmm… block config?
Here’s a screen shot of the Dashboard…
…and in the settings of one block, I have:
-Date Type: Historical
-Duration: Last received data point
-Block Data:
DeviceID: My\_Device
Attribute: -again, I only see four attributes here… but would expect to see all six??-

I see, thanks for the info!
So, the Gauge Block can only display attributes of type `Number`. Is it possible that 2 of the attributes on that device aren’t of type `Number`?
You can see all the details of each config option here:

Thanks, again!
The attributes all look like numbers to me:
…and the debug section of the Device shows these values coming in:
…which is why I’m stumped why I don’t see them as attributes for a new block. 😬

Hi @Mark_Nicholson,
I took a look at your dashboard and believe I have located the problem. In your dashboard, you have a two blocks that are configured to display the attribute `GPS` from your device. However, there is not an attribute on your device named `GPS,` so no data is being displayed, and the blocks look as though state was never reported.
Renaming one of your attributes or creating a new one called “GPS” would solve this, or you can choose another existing attribute to display in the blocks.
Let me know if I can help further!

Thanks @JuliaKempf - appreciate all the great feedback!
Ah yes… I kind of abandoned the GPS info (for now)… and was trying to just get one of the attributes such as signalStrength, pressure, or battery to show in the dashboard.
I see those coming in (look valid), but can’t figure out why (in the dashboard) I can’t select them as attributes.
I did go back and add a GPS data type for the device… and removed those GPS blocks in the dashboard (just in case those were causing an issue). ???
I guess I’m still trying to figure out how to put signalStrength, pressure, or battery in the dashboard via a block (if I can’t see them as attributes in the edit-block)?

Hmm… found out they’re showing up as values in the Dashboard context… I don’t think I need to enable them (this is just FYI… and good to see them _somewhere_):

Ah! If I setup one of those variables as a context… then I can select it as an attribute in the block.
??? I dunno… it’s reporting what I want (now) in the dashboard, but this seems like the long way to go about getting it? Open to suggestions. 😀

Hi @Mark_Nicholson,
The source of this issue is not clear to me, when I visit your Gauge Block, I am able to scroll and see all of your attributes:
Could you provide your browser and version?
Thanks!

ARGH! Exactly what I was looking for.
It must have been a browser issue… I checked Chrome on another computer and all the attributes came up fine… went back to main computer and refreshed the browser view, and now they’re showing up A-OK. Thanks for the patience… really appreciate it.
