Dashboard Widgets
Widgets are the building blocks of Insights dashboards. Each widget displays a specific piece of information.
Widget Types
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Metric | Single value with optional comparison | Total donations this month |
| Chart | Time-series or categorical visualization | Monthly donation trend |
| Table | Tabular data display | Top donors list |
| Section Header | Organize widgets into groups | "Revenue Summary" label |
| Spacer | Add vertical spacing | Visual separation |

Widget Sizes
Widgets have predefined sizes that determine how much horizontal space they occupy:
- Small - 1/4 of the row (good for metrics)
- Medium - 1/2 of the row (good for charts)
- Large - Full row width (good for tables)
Widgets automatically wrap to new rows based on their combined widths.
Widget Categories
Widgets are organized by what they measure:
- Revenue - Donation amounts, payment methods, refunds
- Contacts - Donor counts, new vs returning, geography
- Campaigns - Site performance, page activity
- Engagement - Email opens, page views, interactions
Widget Scoping
Widgets are scoped to specific dashboard sections. When you click Add Widget, you only see widgets relevant to that section:
| Dashboard | Available Widgets |
|---|---|
| CRM Insights | Contact, household, and organization widgets |
| Revenue Insights | Revenue, donation, and payment widgets |
| Manage Insights | Campaign, site, and fundraising page widgets |
You cannot add a widget from one section to a dashboard in another section. For example, campaign-specific widgets only appear in Manage Insights, not in CRM Insights.
