Adding widgets to an Activeboard
To create a widget from scratch:
Widget properties
When you click the title bar (or the ellipsis menu and select Properties), a panel open on the right side with the following tabs:
Data
ID | This is a unique name for the widget used for internal calls, such as referring to data in the widget from another widget's script. It is auto-generated and cannot be modified. |
|---|---|
Name | The name of the widget. This is the friendly name that appears in the widget title bar in the Activeboard. |
Description | Enter a meaningful description of the widget. |
Data source | This is the query that feeds data to the widget. Click the Edit button to open the Query editor, where you can edit and update the widget's query script. Learn how to build your widget's source queries in this article. |
Custom date range | (Optional) Toggle on this option to set a date range to apply to the widget and its dependencies, overriding the date range set for the Activeboard. Widgets with a custom date range show the calendar icon in the top right corner. Learn more about setting time ranges here. |
Visual
The settings available in the Visual tab will depend upon the type of graphic chosen for the widget. Learn more about each type of widget and its settings in the following article: Widget types
Raw
Here you can access the raw configuration of each widget. You can edit this, and copy and paste it in the Raw field of another widget to clone the widget settings. This is especially useful when you wish to copy widgets across different Activeboards. If you perform any changes, click the Save changes button to apply them.
