Widgets

Widgets are visual components of a view that provide a graphical representation of data. They are used to build dashboards and analyze data in Operavix.

The system offers various widget types: process-oriented, charts, tables, KPI indicators, and auxiliary widgets.

General Widget Workflow

All widgets are created and configured using the same fundamental approach, regardless of type. Differences between widgets are determined by their available parameters and additional data display settings.

Before creating widgets, you must configure the Data Model, which is set up at the workspace level.

The data model defines:

• Data sources and relationships
• Dimensions and measures available to all dashboards in the workspace
• Variables available to all dashboards in the workspace

Creating and Configuring a Widget

To create or modify a widget, switch to the dashboard’s edit mode and follow these steps:

1. Open an existing dashboard in edit mode or create a new one.
2. If needed, configure dashboard-level variables, dimensions, and measures as described in Dashboard dimensions and measures.
3. Add a new widget to the view. Widget configuration mode activates when you:
   • Add a widget to the view
   • Left-click the widget
   • Click the widget name in the view panel
4. Configure the widget using the right-side settings panel. Each widget has both common and unique settings. Common settings include basic settings (title, description, key), display settings, and filtering settings. Unique settings specific to each widget type are documented on its respective page.
5. After completing the configuration, save your changes by publishing the dashboard.
