Rich Text

Add any text string you want to use for titles, instructions, updates, or any other type of text.

Report

This widget allows you to display a report in your dashboard, but you need at least Admin access to the source report. Users shared to the dashboard don't always need access to the underlying sheets to see the report content.

Add a company logo, employee photos, or other images to your dashboard.

Title

Name your dashboard and better organize your widgets under various headings.

Web Content

You can add interactive content to your dashboard, such as Tableau charts, Smartsheet Forms, YouTube videos, and more. However, you need access to the source application to do so.
