Configure widgets and layout

The practical guide to building your Dashboards: adding widgets, organizing the layout, and using dynamic filters.

Working with widgets

Add widgets

  1. Open your Dashboard.
  2. In the Top right corner, click on Edit dashboard.
  3. In the top right corner, click the Add new widget button.
  4. Select Widgets from the available Queries (custom queries previously created in the Query Builder) or Presets (built-in).

Edit widgets

In the top right corner of a widget, click the three dots (...) and select Edit widget.

  • Query visualization: You are redirected to the Query settings page to edit parameters.
  • Preset: An editing panel appears to adjust options like time range or visualization type.

Remove widgets

Click the three dots (...) on a Widget and select Delete from dashboard.

Reorganizing the layout

  1. Open your Dashboard.

  2. In the Top right corner, click on Edit dashboard. You can:

  3. Move: Drag and drop Widgets to your preferred locations.

  4. Resize: Change the size of each Widget.
  5. Click Save to apply changes.

Using the Query Builder

You can insert an existing query created in the Query Builder into your dashboards to streamline visualization. It allows:

  • Synchronization: Changes made to a Query on the Query Builder page are automatically propagated to all Dashboards using it.
  • Tracking: On the Query Builder’s edit page, you can view a list of all Dashboards utilizing that specific Query.
  • Visualization: The Widget utilizes the visualization settings saved within the Query Builder (refer to Query builder documentation to know more).

Insert a query from the Query Builder

You can add a query to a Dashboard directly after its creation in the Builder.

  1. To access the Query Builder, on the left side panel, click on Queries > New query.
  2. Configure your Query.
  3. Click Save. The query is immediately usable, and the + Add to a dashboard button appears.
  4. Click + Add to a dashboard.

  5. To add the Query as a widget:

    • In an existing dashboard, click on the Add button next to the relevant dashboard name.
    • In a new dashboard, click on Add to new dashboard button and enter required fields.

Your dashboard name moves to the top of the list so that it is more visible. A Remove button replaces the Add button.

Note

Any changes made in a query will be applied to all dashboards where it is used. You can check and manage the dashboards that use it by returning to the + Add to a dashboard menu at any time.

Manage a query widget

In addition to the widget options available from the dashboard (see Working with widgets section), you can manage it from the Query builder:

From the + Add to a dashboard menu:

  • Check where a query is used: the total number of usage is shown on the + Add to a dashboard, and all dashboards using it will be the first one in the list with a Remove button next to their name.
  • Add or Remove a query from a dashboard: in the list, click on the button next to its name.
