Add and configure widgets on your dashboard. Each widget displays data in a specific format — charts, metrics, tables, or gauges.

Adding widgets

  1. Open a dashboard
  2. Click Add Widget
  3. Choose a widget type
  4. Configure the data source and display settings
  5. Position the widget on the dashboard

Widget types

Chart widget

Displays data as a visual chart. Supports multiple chart types:

  • Line chart — trends over time
  • Bar chart — comparisons across categories
  • Pie chart — proportions of a whole
  • Area chart — volume over time

Configuration:

  • Title
  • Chart type
  • Data source and query
  • X-axis column (typically time or category)
  • Y-axis column(s) (the values to plot)
  • Series colours
  • Legend position

Metric widget

Displays a single number — a KPI or summary statistic. Optionally shows a trend arrow comparing to the previous period.

Configuration:

  • Title
  • Data source and aggregation (e.g., COUNT of tasks, SUM of revenue)
  • Comparison period (vs last week, vs last month)
  • Threshold values for colour coding (green/amber/red)
  • Number format (plain, currency, percentage)

Example: "Active Customers: 47" with a green up arrow showing "+12% vs last month"

Table widget

Displays data rows in a tabular format. Use for recent items, top lists, or detail views.

Configuration:

  • Title
  • Data source
  • Columns to display
  • Sort order
  • Row limit (e.g., show top 10)
  • Filters

Gauge widget

A visual dial showing progress toward a target. Use for goals, quotas, or capacity metrics.

Configuration:

  • Title
  • Current value (from data source)
  • Target value
  • Colour zones (red/amber/green ranges)
  • Display format

Resizing and positioning

Drag widgets to reorder them on the dashboard. Resize by dragging the edges. The dashboard uses a responsive grid — widgets snap to positions.

Editing widgets

Click any widget to select it, then click the Edit button to change its configuration. Changes apply immediately.

Removing widgets

Click a widget and click Remove to delete it from the dashboard. The underlying data is not affected — only the widget display is removed.
