Widget
A ready content component that updates itself, such as a clock, a weather forecast or exchange rates.
A widget is a small content component that shows its own data on screen and updates itself. Unlike an image or a video, its content comes from a data source rather than from you. A clock ticks every second, a weather forecast refreshes at intervals and exchange rates come from the latest bulletin.
Widgets keep a screen alive. A clock and weather band added to an announcement screen also gives passers-by a reason to look at it.
The 10 widget kinds in MIA
Clock, scrolling text, HTML, YouTube, RSS news ticker, weather, world clocks, exchange rates, countdown and header band. The weather widget uses MET Norway data and shows current weather and forecasts for cities in Turkey and worldwide. The exchange rates widget shows rates from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye's daily bulletin as a table, cards or a ticker. The server fetches the data, and if the internet drops the screens show the last good value. See examples on the widgets and designs page.
