Select Measure

Start by selecting a measure:

• If you are an administrator, you can choose from all available measures.

• If you are a user, you will only be able to select the measures you are responsible for.

You can use free-text search if you know the name of your measure.

Below is an example of how it appears for a Full Administrator:

Select Units to Display Data From

After selecting a measure, administrators can choose whether the gadget should display unit-specific data or always show data from the unit currently selected.

You can also decide whether to show data from this unit or to hide the gadget entirely if the measure is not available for the selected unit. If no data is found, the gadget will not be displayed for that unit.

Choose how data should be displayed

How data is displayed is primarily configured in the chart settings of the measure. Note that these settings apply to all places where the measure is shown as a chart.

In the gadget itself, you can adjust the display mode for bars as well as lines/areas.

If you want to rename the gadget, you can do so under the Settings tab.

Don’t forget to save!

For this type of gadget, you can also access the edit window for the measure the gadget is based on directly via the three-dot menu (context menu) in the gadget. From this menu, you can also maximize the chart for a temporary enlarged view, return to the settings edit mode, share the gadget, or remove it entirely.
