Hi everybody,
Nobody is missing the full support of the few IOT Cloud data types in the dashboard widgets? I am not complaining about the relatively small choice of types at all, til now, I found a solution for all my coding problems. But what I can't understand: Why are the cloud types not all (!) able to be represented represented by their full (!) resolution in (at least) one of the dashboard widgets? My point is the Integer type: for serious developers, this type is not just a means to store big numeric values (try the float type!) but to take benefit of the maximum resolution an IOT variable can offer, for instance while creating structured variables like date/timestamps, numeric keys exploiting the range up to +/-2 billions! I am asking 32bit integer types to be rendered in full resolution (not only in exponentional form with 8 mantissa digits) in the Value (or another) Dashboard widget!
Anybody interested in these points out there?
Thanks for sharing your needs, ideas and support 
to this topic!

I don't understand. Make a diagram, maybe the smallest element is a byte. When you mix float and int it is confusing.
Hi @sonofcy,
thanks for asking back! I'll try to make clear my point by an example: my ESS on GIGA R1 publishes internal 32bit int values to Cloud int values by means of its routine RefreshTECmonitor(), here the value examples:
Metadata:
[TS] cloud var name: ESS_TEC_Tstamp; dashboard label: TS aktuell
[EA] cloud var name: ESS_TEC_Tepoch; dashboard label: Epoch aktuell
[ID] cloud var name: ESS_TEC_Version; dashboard label: ID Release
Cloud variable values (I wrote them by RefreshTECmonitor() to the transcript):
[TS] 1101048
[EA] 200938889
[ID] 25011202
Exact Dashboard representation on iOS App (Safari), Cloud web page (Chrome/Win11) in mobile (vertical) and screen (horizontal) orientation, here (!) separated by "|":
[TS] 1.10104 | 1.1010... | 1.101048e+6
[EA] 2.00938 | 2.0093... | 2.009389e+8
[ID] 2.50112 | 2.5011... | 2.501120e+7
NONE of the dashboard renderings for 8- and 9-decimal-digit int values displays the complete value information!!!
The example [EA] is specially interesting: apparently the horizontal representation on web page took place after rounding the value to a 6-digit Mantissa, in the vertical representation no rounding seems to have applied ...
I hope to have clarified my point, please feel free to ask more details,

Sorry, I don't understand anything you say. I will bow out as I can't help, bye.
