Widget Types
Widgets are the building blocks of your Querri dashboards. Add visualizations and data tables from your projects to create comprehensive dashboards.
Adding Widgets
Section titled “Adding Widgets”Widgets come from your project analysis steps. To add a widget to a dashboard:
- Open your dashboard
- Click Add Widget
- Select a project and step to display
- The visualization or table from that step appears as a widget
What Can Be Added
Section titled “What Can Be Added”Any visualization or table from your projects can become a dashboard widget:
- Charts: Line, bar, pie, area, and scatter charts created during analysis
- Tables: Data tables showing query results
The widget displays the same content as the project step, refreshing when the dashboard runs.
Widget Layout
Section titled “Widget Layout”Dashboards use a grid layout for arranging widgets:
- Drag to position: Move widgets anywhere on the grid
- Resize: Drag widget corners to adjust size
- Grid snap: Widgets align automatically for a clean appearance
Sizing Tips
Section titled “Sizing Tips”- Give charts enough space to be readable
- Tables may need more width for multiple columns
- Balance your layout so important widgets stand out
Widget Display
Section titled “Widget Display”Each widget shows:
- The visualization or table from the source step
- A title (from the step name)
- Hover details on chart elements
Charts
Section titled “Charts”Chart widgets display your visualizations:
- Hover over data points to see values
- Charts include legends when applicable
- Common types: line, bar, pie, area, scatter
Tables
Section titled “Tables”Table widgets show data in rows and columns:
- Scroll to see all data
- Column headers show field names
- Large tables are paginated
Keeping Widgets Updated
Section titled “Keeping Widgets Updated”Widgets refresh when the dashboard runs:
- Manual refresh: Click Run Now in Data Flow view
- Scheduled refresh: Set up automatic updates via Schedule
When a dashboard refreshes, all widgets update with the latest data from their source projects.
Best Practices
Section titled “Best Practices”Choose meaningful visualizations: Pick project steps that answer key questions for your dashboard audience.
Don’t overcrowd: A few well-chosen widgets are more effective than many small ones.
Use consistent sizing: Similar widgets should be similar sizes for visual consistency.
Keep source projects healthy: If a project step fails, its widget won’t display correctly.
