What is a Widget?

A widget ( sometimes called a chart) in Indicate is a visual element inside a dashboard that displays data from your data products. Widgets are the building blocks of your dashboards. Widgets let you track KPIs, show trends, compare metrics, or highlight specific insights, all in real time.

• Widgets can be charts, tables, KPI cards, or other interactive visualizations.

• Each widget is powered by (at least) one data product/metric and can be customized to match your analytical needs.

• Visualize trends, patterns, and KPIs in real time.

• Combine multiple widgets to tell a story with your data.

• Empower teams to focus on the metrics that matter most.

• Quickly identify anomalies or opportunities through visuals.

• You can change the chart type anytime in the widget designer after saving.

Good to know:

• You can add several data products/metrics from different data sources or the same data source to one widget.

• You can create multiple widgets per dashboard and arrange them freely.

• Widgets automatically update when their underlying data products refresh.

How do I add a Widget?

1. Open the dashboard where you want to add a widget.

2. Click + Add Widget in the top right corner. If the dashboard has no widgets yet, click the + Add your first widget button in the center of the dashboard instead

3. The Add new Block to Dashboard dialog opens. Click the Data Source dropdown and select your source. All connected sources are listed here, for example Google Analytics 4, vioma OTA, Mews PMS or Re:Guest.

4. Click the Metric dropdown and select the metric you want to display, for example Total Revenue, Total Bookings or Avg. Request Lead Time.

5. Group by and Record Time are filled in with a sensible default. Adjust them only if you want to change how the data is segmented or which time dimension is used.

6. Click Save.

The widget is saved as a line chart by default. Open the widget designer after saving to switch to a bar chart, table, KPI number view or any other chart type.

Troubleshooting

The Data Source dropdown is empty.

No sources are connected or shared yet. Connect one in Engineering → Marketplace, then add the widget again.

The widget shows no data after saving.

Check that the Record Time matches your dashboard's date filter. If the source is still syncing, wait a few minutes and refresh.
