Add, Remove and Edit Widgets

A Widget in a Dashboard is a visualisation of a piece of data, in some specific form - for example a label with a specific value, a table of values or a chart that displays one or more series of data. 

Add a Widget

You can add one or more Widgets to a Dashboard. Each widget will display a set of data - either a collection (e.g. table or chart), or a single value (e.g. one or more labels). 

To add a widget to a Dashboard, click the "plus" icon on the top right of the Dashboard page:

If you want to add a Widget to the active Dashboard, select Add widget in the sub-menu.
(If you want to create a new Dashboard, select Add Dashboard).

Once you have clicked "Add Widget", you need to select a type of widget:

Each widget type is related to the underlying data for it. The different Widget types are:

1. Traffic - Offered and answered requests per queue per 15 minute period, so far today (similar to what is shown on the Homepage) 
2. Queue - Real-time including 'so far today' parameters per queue, such as In queue now, Agents per status now, Answered, Wait time, AHT etc.
3. Agents - Real-time including 'so far today' parameters per agent, such as Agent Status, Answered, Speaktime etc.
4. Historical reports - Select a standard report and customise columns, visual type etc.
   You can also choose Add to Dashboard from the Reports page for both standard and custom reports.

Once a widget is selected, it is marked accordingly:

When a widget type is selected, please click the "Next" button, located at the lower right section of the page:

This takes you to step 2 in the wizard: 

What to select in step 2 varies depending on the widget type you selected in step 1.

In step 2 you need to choose:

1. Queues (for widgets Traffic and Queue) and Agents (for widget Agents). In general, the rows.
2. Columns. 
3. Visual Type:
   1. Chart - one or more (max 4) series (columns) of chart data, which may be:
      - Bar
      - Line
      - Area
   2. Label - one or more labels, where each label hosts a single value
   3. Table - a table to show multiple columns and rows
4. Sorting of rows. If visual type i Table, you can select a column to sort the rows by (ascending or descending).

All the options are demonstrated in the sample screenshot below (all options opened for demo purposes):
