Setup basic Datasource
First of all, we need JSON data from the datasource. The datasource is a REST API from certain server. We can setup a testing REST API from the open source project.
Download Java Project “springrestapi” from github. Available download from wheref.com/mboard.html
Run “./mvnw spring-boot: run”
Read the README file for getting sample URL
Add URL to mBoard datasource
mBoard has a datasource configuration form for filling in.
Copy the REST API sample URL into the Datasource column
Configure the Datasource properties appropriately and save/update
Switch on the datasource to ON
Green indicator would show from Red color
Add Widget to the dashboard
After added the datasources, we can create widgets.
Click the “+” icon from left side.
Widget properties would show for configuration
Fill in the properties appropriately
Widget would be updated appropriately
Export the dashboard
For saving mBoard configuration, we need for export feature.
Click the “Export” button
Default file name will be saved on “Download” folder
Import the dashboard
For restore the mBoard for prior view, we need import feature.
Click the “Import” button on top right side
Pick the exported file from directory

Clean all the setting
For delete all the setting of mBoard, we need clean all feature.

Conclusion
All the network traffic is depended on the local computer as well as the application performance. NO Auth , NO DB and NO Cloud Server. We can restore the dashboard on any platforms such as web browser, macOS, Microsoft Windows and Linux. However, we can share the workspaces to cloud and your friends for your options.
