Adding Widgets to a Dashboard

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

Tip: After creating an aggregation rule, a filter Blok is automatically saved in the system. You can use the filter Blok in Advanced Dashboards instead of typing the entire query to save on query response time.
