Widget
Widgets are the modules that make up the layout of the homepage dashboard. They allow you to visualise data with much more freedom and flexibility, providing snapshots of different metrics across zones and locations.
There are 6 widget types:
- Column Chart
- Bar Chart
- Metric
- Line Chart
- Area Chart
- Table
Data Series
A data series is a collection of related numbers in the same row, or the same column. It represents the data you wish to draw from your touchpoints, which is also the data you wish to visualise from your widgets.
Create a Data Series
Steps to create a data series for your widget:
- Go to “Dashboard” > “Settings” in Widget > Click “Add Data Series”
- Name the data series
- Select the location
- Select the touchpoint or touchpoint point (the data you wish to include in the data series)
- Click “Confirm” and done!
When you select “Update data series when a new touchpoint is created in the location”, you will not need to manually add in new touchpoints to the data series if all touchpoints on a floor or touchpoint group have been selected initially.
However, the update will not be applicable if the touchpoints are selected separately.
