Glance card
The glance card is useful to group multiple sensors in a compact overview. Keep in mind that this can be used together with entity-filter cards to create dynamic cards.

To add the glance card to your user interface:
- In the top right of the screen, select the edit
button. - If this is your first time editing a dashboard, the Edit dashboard dialog appears.
- By editing the dashboard, you are taking over control of this dashboard.
- This means that it is no longer automatically updated when new dashboard elements become available.
- Once you’ve taken control, you can’t get this specific dashboard back to update automatically. However, you can create a new default dashboard.
- To continue, in the dialog, select the three dots
menu, then select Take control.
- If this is your first time editing a dashboard, the Edit dashboard dialog appears.
