Assign data to a widget

Before you can display content in a widget, you must first assign data to this widget.

In the dashboard editor, you can define a data stream that delivers processed data to a widget. A data stream reads the data from one or more data sources, such as XLS files, databases, or data feeds, and then combines, transforms, and calculates the data for the widgets.

Procedure

  1. On the dashboard, click the widget for which you want to create a data stream. The configuration panel for the widget is displayed.
  2. Click Configuration Set up on the configuration panel.
  3. Click the Edit icon in the Data source field.

    The Assign data page opens.

  4. Configure a data stream. The configuration of a data stream in the dashboard editor is the same as the procedure in the data feed editor. For details on configuring a data stream, see the Configure a data feed chapter.
  5. Click Save Save and close.

The data stream is assigned to the widget.

You can now specify the data to display in the widget.
