Widgets/Visualizations

A Widget is the visualization of a dataset. Visualizations help make sense of the dataset and draw actionable insights. One or more Widgets/Widget types can point to the same dataset.

Widgets can be accessed on the left side panel.

This opens up a Widget side menu with a list of existing Widgets that you can drag and drop on the Dashboard.

The widget side menu settings:

1. Allows you to search for Widgets by name
2. Allows you to filter widgets based on your Widgets and shared Widgets.
3. Creates new Widgets
4. Widget side panel settings: This takes you to the Widget Management page.
5. Refreshes the Widget list
6. Add/manage Widget categories. Widgets can be categorized for easy access and usage. Create a new Widget category and drag and drop the required widgets in the category. This Widget folder can be shared, copied, renamed, subcategorized, and deleted.
