Add and edit widgets on your dashboard

You can create different kinds of widgets—metric, report, image, web content, and more—and then customize how those widgets appear and behave. 

Add widgets to your dashboard

1. On the top-right corner, select Edit Dashboard
2. On the right bar, select Add Widgets.
3. Select the widget. Configure your widget.
4. To save your changes, select Save.

Edit your widget 

You can change widget settings like data source, image alignment, colors (including custom hex colors), text, title and fonts. Do the following to configure a widget:

1. On the top-right corner, select Edit Dashboard.
2. Select the widget you want to edit. To select multiple widgets, drag the pointer or press the Ctrl key and select the widgets.
3. Select the pencil icon from the top right corner of the widget.  

            This opens the right panel, where you can see the widget properties that you can edit for the selected widgets.

4. Make your changes and select Save.

The widget settings panel only displays the common editable attributes when editing multiple widgets.

Edit multiple widgets

The properties you can edit depend on the widget type selected:

If you selected Use formatting from source in the metric widget, your text styling edits don’t override this setting.

You can also drag, cut, copy and paste multiple widgets at once.

Resize and move widgets

You can resize and move your widgets. Onscreen guides help you align and size your widgets and their content. The guides also help with horizontal and vertical spacing.

2. When the pointer becomes a diagonal resize pointer, drag the resize handle to adjust the widget size.
