Options for Different Widget Types
Metric widgets capture data from KPIs or metrics and present it in a variety of ways. You can use these widgets for a single value, or compare multiple values for two different metrics in a chart. Measures used in metrics are tagged with descriptive keywords (tags) in the system so you can find them.
For more information, see Metric Widgets.
