You can clone widgets and rebind widgets references.

Cloning widgets

You can clone existing widgets. This is an efficient way to create widgets with similar configuration. The cloned widget can be edited. This makes it possible to make identical widgets that display different variables.

For more information, see Cloning a Dashboard Widget .

Rebind

You can rebind references using Rebind widget references. The reference source must be of the same type and have the same name as the target. You can rebind several widgets at the same time if the target references are of the same name and same type.

For example, you have created widgets for a room called Room A. The widgets refer to an analog value in the folder Room A, called “Temp”. You have an identical room called Room B. The folder Room B also contains an analog value called “Temp”. If you want to use the same configuration of the widgets in Room A on Room B, you clone the widgets for Room A and then you use Rebind widget references to rebind the cloned widgets to the analog value “Temp” in the folder Room B.

For more information, see Rebinding Widgets References .
