A widget is a key component of every dashboard. It contains your most meaningful KPIs and metrics. Manual widgets are different from others offered within Hurree in that they are not linked to a specific connector. They are static and can display any key piece of data you input.

How to Create a Manual Widget

Step 1: Add a Widget

  • On your dashboard, click the Add a Widget button.

Step 2: Select Your Widget Type

  • Choose the widget that best suits your needs (either a number or line chart).

Step 3: Select Manual Widget

  • Click the Select button on the connector screen under the Manual Widget Creation option.

Step 4: Set Up Your Manual Widget

  • Enter the following details for your widget:

    • Widget Name

    • Datapoint Type (e.g., numerical value, percentage)

    • Datapoint Value (the specific data you want to display)

  • Date (the most up-to-date data for the metric)

  • Benchmarker (to set expectations for the metric)

Step 5: Customise the Widget Icon

  • To visually represent the data source or category, choose an icon from our library of 1,640 options. This helps users quickly identify what the widget relates to, even if it isn’t linked to a connector.

Step 6: Complete the Setup

  • After setting up your widget, click Finish. Your newly created widget will appear on your dashboard.

Step 7: (Optional) Add a Data Comparison

  • If you wish to display a data comparison percentage on the manual widget, edit the widget and add historical data.

Note

  • Manual widgets are fixed and do not refresh automatically. You must enter new data by hand each time you want to change the displayed information.
