As shown in the example below, the colors in the equipment header boxes indicate the equipment status: - A **GREEN HEADER BOX** indicates that the equipment connection is good. - A **RED HEADER BOX** indicates a connection loss between the equipment and FeedWatch. - A **GRAY HEADER BOX** indicates disabled equipment. This type of equipment is only displayed if the **Show Disabled Equipment** box at the top left of the widget is checked. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3h8pSJcGUXEi4HGCCYPTA/s_37KTfy80DUACJln6KwT_equipment-status.png" size="24" width="875" height="385" darkWidth="875" darkHeight="385" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"} The example below illustrates the information displayed for each mixer. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3h8pSJcGUXEi4HGCCYPTA/V_ckzzgT6CAYubcF6Gajz_equipment-status-large.png" size="46" width="491" height="607" darkWidth="491" darkHeight="607" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"} :::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Mixer name. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Mixer type. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem PREVIOUS LOAD details: - :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3h8pSJcGUXEi4HGCCYPTA/thol0oxF6w84g-jhaUw2u_person.png" alt caption size="10" width="21" height="20"} The name of the dairy worker responsible for the load. - :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3h8pSJcGUXEi4HGCCYPTA/O5bb4rkt5zcExSLKvf1fz_clipboard.png" alt caption size="10" width="17" height="22"} The feeding period and pens where the feed was delivered (shown as **AM Feeding** for **pens 7 and 8** in the example). ::: ::::WorkflowBlockItem Target vs Actual feed results: - If the Actual amount delivered **exceeds** the Target amount, the values will be illustrated in **green** and **red** on the bar. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3h8pSJcGUXEi4HGCCYPTA/My6LYGpzpQt8BMfkVBclZ_equip-status-red.png" size="14" isUploading="false" initialPath="../../../../Resources/Images/Platform/dashboard/equip-status-red.png" githubPath="Content/Resources/Images/Platform/dashboard/equip-status-red.png" position="flex-start" width="303" height="75" darkWidth="303" darkHeight="75" showCaption="false" indent="2"} :::Paragraph{listStyleType="disc" indent="2"} In this case, the **green** part of the bar shows the Target amount that was delivered.
