Dashboard global last measurement for widgets similar to the dashboard global date picker

Hello,

Imy name is Helmut and I´m a developer for backend and supporter for our cumulocity instance.

The following problem is meanly for dashboards on device level in cockpit.

If you have many widgets on your dashboard and each shows one datapoint of the last measurement then each widget perform the same request. One request would be enough, to fill each widget with the value of a datapoint. It would act similar to the dashboard global date picker. If you change the picker, all widgets can react to the change and you don´t have to change the date on each widget separatly.

Another problem with the many requests for last measurement is, when a device post a new measurement, some widgets still get the old last measurement and the last widgets get the new last measurement. The displayed datapoints in the widgets are from 2 or more different last measurements. This can be easily happen, when the user has inventory roles. Then a request can take up to 100x longer.
