Hi Tim

Lots of possibilities here. One is :

Insert a data vieuw, select the object via page parameter of use a data source microflow.
Mendix generates everything but if you just want a few data you can handpick them in the connector toolbox.

I recommend you do some of the learning paths starting with this one:

Enjoy and good luck!

Okay maybe my question was as a newbies,

We have actually done following training

But that is not what we want.

There must be are more direct answer to doing this display of value.!? it is maybe more about the look and feeling.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Tim,

I meant this course:

Become a Rapid Developper: https://academy.mendix.com/link/path/31/Become-a-Rapid-Developer

It is a bit more elaborated than the one you followed.

Happy learning!

I recommend to do the MindSphere learning path as well, as here you learn how to fetch values from the MindSphere APIs and visualize them in a chart. Just showing a last value, should be done than easilly via a simple text widget, showing an attribute from your entity model where you store your data in.
