Step 2: Select Widget Type

  • Choose whether you want to view your data in a number or line chart based on your needs.

Step 3: Choose Connector

  • Select the connector from which you want to display data.

Step 4: Select Data Point

  • After selecting your widget type and connector, you'll see a selection of compatible data points. Choose one of the available data points within the same category.

Step 5: Add a Widget Description

  • On the widget settings page, you can now add a description to your widget.
    Use this to explain what the widget is displaying or add extra context for your team.

Step 6: Select Entity

  • Choose the entity from which you'd like to collect the data.

Step 7: Configure Your Widget

  • You'll be directed to the widget configuration screen. Here, you can make specific adjustments to your widget (note that these changes can only be made once on the dashboard).

  • The available configuration options may vary based on the visualization type or data point selected.

Step 8: Add Additional Widgets (Optional)

  • If desired, you can add more widgets simultaneously.

Step 9: Finish Setup

  • Once you're satisfied with your widget setup, click Finish.

  • Your new widget(s) will now appear on your dashboard.

🎨 Customise Widget Theme Colours

You can now customise the theme colour of the following widget types:

  • Pie Charts

  • Tables

  • Single and Multi-Datapoint Line Graphs

  • Single and Multi-Datapoint Bar Charts

This allows you to align your dashboard visuals with your brand, make key metrics stand out, or personalise your layout for better readability.

To update the theme colour, edit the widget and look for the Theme Colour option during configuration or in the edit view.

Note

  • Your data will be automatically updated four times daily.
