AnalyticsWidgets

Build custom dashboards to visualize your data. Add widgets for charts, metrics, tables, and gauges — pulling data from your workspace and connected sources.

What are Dashboards?

Dashboards in Waymaker Commander give you a visual overview of the data that matters. Create custom dashboards with widgets that display charts, KPIs, tables, and gauges — all updating in real time.

Unlike standalone analytics tools, dashboards connect directly to your workspace data — tasks, tables, sheets, and external connections. No data exports, no manual updates.

Common use cases

  • Executive dashboards — revenue, customer count, team velocity
  • Project dashboards — task completion, sprint progress, blockers
  • Sales dashboards — pipeline value, conversion rates, deal stages
  • Operations dashboards — uptime, response times, ticket volume
  • Marketing dashboards — traffic, leads, campaign performance

Key features

Widget types

  • Charts — line, bar, pie, and area charts for trends and comparisons
  • Metrics — single-number KPIs with trend indicators (up/down arrows)
  • Tables — data grids showing the latest records
  • Gauges — visual indicators against a target (e.g., 75% of goal)
  • Timelines — chronological event displays

Data sources

Pull data from multiple sources into a single dashboard:

  • Internal — your Commander tables, taskboards, and sheets
  • Connections — external data from connected services (Stripe, Google, webhooks)
  • Queries — custom queries with filters, aggregations, and grouping

Query builder

Build queries visually — no SQL required:

  • Filters — narrow data by column values
  • Aggregations — COUNT, SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, DISTINCT
  • Grouping — group by column (e.g., by status, by month)
  • Date ranges — presets (today, this week, this month, this quarter) or custom ranges
  • Time granularity — hour, day, week, month, quarter, year

Thresholds and alerts

Set threshold values on widgets. When a metric crosses a threshold, the widget changes colour (green/amber/red), giving you an instant visual signal.

Dashboard scope

Dashboards can be scoped to different levels:

  • Personal — visible only to you
  • Project — visible to everyone in the project
  • Workspace — visible to all workspace members
  • Organization — visible across the entire organisation

  2. In the Explorer sidebar (Cmd+1), expand a project
