Adding Widgets to an Advanced Dashboard

You can create a new dashboard with multiple widgets based on your requirements.

For best performance, limit the number of widgets to 20 per dashboard.
Tip: After creating an aggregation rule, a filter Blok is automatically created in the system. To save on query response time, you can use the filter Blok in Advanced Dashboards instead of typing the entire query.

Procedure

  1. Click Dashboards > Advanced Dashboards to display the All Dashboards page.
  2. You can create a dashboard or a dashboard group.
    • To create a new dashboard, click Create Dashboard.
    • To create a new dashboard group, click Create a new nested group.
    Enter a name and select the parent group to which the dashboard or subgroup must belong.
  3. Click the dashboard to open the dashboard view.
    Note: It is possible to add widgets with identical names in one dashboard.
  4. From the Widgets pane, click the type of widget that you want to add.
  5. To configure the widget, click the Configure link or click the Settings icon on the upper-right corner of the widget.
    1. To edit the widget name, click Untitled widget and enter the name of the widget in the field.
    2. Edit the fields as required. The configuration fields are different for each type of widget. See the Types of Widgets section.
  6. Click Save to save the widget.

Result

The widget is added and the retrieved results are displayed on the dashboard. While the data is loading, you can click the Stop button and change the widget configuration, and click Start to reload the data.

Note: By using columns with large content, the content might become unreadable on a widget, for example, using sys_body on the X-axis while using a Bar Chart widget.
