Widgets Overview
An introduction to dashboard widgets in Kogenta Connect.
Widgets are the visual components that display data on a dashboard. Each widget is bound to a query from one of the dashboard's linked workflows and renders the query results in a specific format.
Widget types
| Type | Description | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Map layers | Geospatial visualizations on an interactive map | Location data, spatial analysis, geographic patterns |
| Charts | Bar charts, line charts, pie charts, and more | Trends, comparisons, distributions |
| Tables | Tabular data grids with sorting and formatting | Detailed data exploration, record-level views |
| Metrics and Slicers | KPI cards and filter controls | Headline numbers, interactive filtering |
| Text | Static text and markdown content | Labels, descriptions, dashboard annotations |
| Containers | Card containers, side panels, and stacks | Grouping widgets, tabbed views, collapsible panels |
Common configuration
All widgets share some common configuration options:
- Data binding - which workflow query supplies the data
- Title - an optional display title for the widget
- Tooltips - what information shows when hovering over data points
Adding widgets to a page
In the dashboard builder, you add widgets to the current page and configure their data source and appearance. On grid layouts, you arrange widgets by positioning and resizing them. On map canvases, map layer widgets render directly on the map.
