How to Add Parts Inventory Widgets

Use the new parts inventory widgets on Deck Board when teams need stock visibility without opening the full inventory page.

Quick Summary

Open a dashboard in edit mode, click Add Widget, then choose Parts Stock Overview or Parts Inventory Table from the operations and maintenance widget set.

Before You Begin​

Requirements
  • You need a dashboard on Deck Board
  • Your organization should already have parts inventory data
  • Holding locations and stock status should be maintained for the widgets to be meaningful

Widget 1: Parts Stock Overview​

Use this widget when you want fast visual stock health at a glance.

It is best for:

  • morning operations review
  • monitoring screens
  • quick low-stock awareness

Common configuration choices:

  • title
  • center metric
  • holding location filter

The donut view helps teams see the distribution of:

  • in stock
  • low stock
  • out of stock

Widget 2: Parts Inventory Table​

Use this widget when you want more operational detail on the board.

It is best for:

  • reviewing the most critical parts first
  • scanning low-stock and out-of-stock items
  • checking a specific location or stock-status filter

Common configuration choices:

  • title
  • view mode
  • holding location
  • stock status filter
  • page size

This is the better choice when teams need actionable rows instead of a summary signal.

Step-by-Step Guide​

Step 1: Open Deck Board in Edit Mode​

  1. Go to Dashboards (Deck Board)
  2. Open the dashboard you want to update
  3. Enter edit mode

Step 2: Add a Widget​

  1. Click Add Widget
  2. Open the operations and maintenance widget options
  3. Choose:
    • Parts Stock Overview, or
    • Parts Inventory Table

Step 3: Configure the Widget​

For a first useful setup:

  • keep the organization-wide view for broad monitoring, or
  • filter by one important holding location if a specific store room needs daily attention

Step 4: Save and Place the Widget​

  1. Save the widget
  2. Resize and position it so the team can actually read it
  3. Put the most important inventory widget near the top of the dashboard

For a practical operations board:

  1. put Parts Stock Overview near the top for quick risk scanning
  2. place Parts Inventory Table below it for actionable detail

That gives the team both signal and drill-down without leaving the dashboard.
