After you create a manual widget, you can update any of the set properties. Each time you add a new datapoint value to the same widget, it logs as a piece of historical data within the widget. This allows you to display a comparison over time on the final widget on your dashboard.

Updating Widget Configuration

  • When on your dashboard, hover over the manual widget you wish to edit.

  • Click the ellipsis in the bottom right-hand corner of the widget. ​

  • Click Edit Widget.

  • You will be transported back to the edit manual widget screen.

    • Datapoint Value

    • Date

  • Once you have made your desired changes, click Changes to return to your dashboard and see the updated widget view.

Please note: A manual widget will always display the data and the most recent data available from the historical values. If you update a manual widget with an older piece of data, it will get added to the historical value but will not be displayed in the widget on the dashboard. This is simply valuable for updating the data comparison percentage.

If there are multiple options and they aren't dated, then the data displayed will be attributed to the most recently added dates.

When you edit a manual widget, the previous data is visible under historic values. If you delete a historic value within a manual widget, it is lost and cannot be retrieved.
