Widget Descriptions
Raven field computers feature user-selectable widgets which allows the device to be configured to display the information necessary for various field operations or customized for operator preferences. Some widgets may be required to perform specific tasks with field computer while others may be used for status or information display if desired.
Several widgets will require installation of additional hardware or components to enable use of the widget during a field operation. The following sections are intended to assist with selecting and using various widgets available for use with standard system installations. Please refer to the documentation for each optional system or feature for additional information on using widgets with these systems.

There will be a camera interface widget available for the cameras configured on the machine (up to four) but only one camera widget can be placed on the screen at a time.
Cloud Job
When running in a cloud job, the Cloud Job widget will be visible. This widget shows the names of the other profiles in the same job and the response time for those profiles. If there isn’t a number after the profile name, the operator is no longer active in that job. See Cloud Jobs for more detailed information about cloud jobs.
Day/Night Mode
The day/night widget allows the operator to toggle between a day and night display mode during a field operation. Tap the widget to toggle the display mode. Touch and hold the widget to view screen and LED brightness settings for the current mode.
Note: Refer to System Preferences Tab for additional information on the available brightness settings.
