Setup Custom Dashboards

Metric. This widget displays as a single number, with or without decimals depending on the metric.

Timeline. This widget uses a line graph to display how a metric changes over time. It can even be used to compare two metrics against each other.

Geomap. This widget displays a plain white atlas of the world and uses various shades of blue to show which country each metric occurs in.

When you create a new dashboard, you’re prompted to add a widget to it right away. Let’s take a moment to go over what each widget does:

Table. This widget displays a simple table; max 2 columns and 10 rows.

Pie. This widget displays a simple pie chart that can have as many as 6 slices.

Bar. This widget displays a typical bar graph that can have as many as 9 bars.
