Live Inside widget

1. Access Your Dashboard

• Log in to Vemcount

• Navigate to your dashboard view

• This is where all widgets are created and managed.

2. Add a New Widget

• Click the blue “+” (Add Widget) button in the top-right corner

• This opens the widget selection panel (same workflow across all widget types).

3. Select “Live Inside” Widget

• Choose Live Inside Widget from the list

• This widget specifically shows:

• Current number of visitors inside

• Live occupancy (not historical trends)

• In Vemcount, “Inside” is a core footfall metric alongside “In” and “Out”

4. Select Data Source (Critical Step)

Choose where the “inside” data should come from:

Available options typically include:

• Location → Total occupancy across the entire site

• Zones → Specific areas (e.g. shop floor, fitting rooms, waiting areas)

• Best Practice:

• Use Location for high-level monitoring (store capacity)

• Use Zones for operational insights (e.g. overcrowded areas)

• This step defines what physical space you are monitoring

5. Proceed to Widget Layout

• Click Next

• You will now configure how the widget appears on your dashboard.

6. Add Title & Description

• Title (Required): Clearly describe the metric

• Description (Optional): Add context if needed

• Good examples:

• “Live Store Occupancy”

• “Customers Inside – Ground Floor”

• “Live Visitors – Entrance Zone”

• Keep titles simple and actionable, especially for operational teams.

7. Customise Appearance (Optional but Recommended)

You can adjust:

• Widget size (grid layout)

• Colour settings

• Best Practice:

• Use larger widgets for live KPIs (easy visibility)

• Apply colour logic, for example:

• Green = normal occupancy

• Amber = approaching capacity

• Red = overcrowded

• Dynamic colouring can help highlight performance changes

8. Save the Widget

• Click Save

• The widget will now appear on your dashboard and begin displaying live data
