BMV712 shows on console but not on GUI nor VRM

I just installed a BMV 712. It is doing quite well, I can see it on the console but when I switch to the GUI it is not shown. I prefer the console but the GUI is very good for showing others my system. Here is a view of the console:

It is working quite well, but when I go to the GUI it does not show up. Am I missing something:

Would like to see it on this screen also. I think I have seen some that shows the battery SOC with the battery in two colors giving a graphical view with the data on top.

It's there. The figures in the green battery box are coming from it, assuming you have selected it in the settings. The top -- will be replaced by the charge level % once it recognises that the battery is charged.

A big thank you folks for the quick response. I had woke up in the wee hours of the morning and found it directly, made the changes and there it was on the screens, Then I saw your notes, which totally confirmed what I had done. I should have put it aside and slept on it rather than bothering all. But again thank you.
