Creating and Managing Widgets

Each widget is a dynamic visualization of data. You specify the data that you want to include in the widget and you select the type of visualization or the chart type.

In this section:

  1. Creating Widgets
    You can create new widgets for your dashboard using the Widget Designer.
  2. Viewing Widget Information
  3. Configuring Advanced Widget Settings
    When you create or edit widgets in the Widget Designer, several advanced settings are available for customizing the content, appearance, and behavior of the widget.
  4. Editing Widgets
    Using the Widget Designer, you can modify the content, appearance, and behavior of a widget.
  5. Analyzing Trends in Widget Data
    In widgets that show data over time, you can add trend lines and apply advanced analytic models to highlight tendencies in the data and get useful insights.
  6. Duplicating Widgets
    You can create a copy of a widget. This function is useful for saving the original widget in the dashboard before making changes. The new widget is separate from the original widget and no changes to the new widget affect the original widget.
  7. Removing Widgets from the Dashboard
    You can remove widgets from a dashboard. The widget data is not affected.
