Creating A Custom Analytic Widget

Custom Analytic widgets allow users to create highly-customized widgets by selecting the
data subset and then selecting and tailoring the data presentation in a table or one of many
available charts. The functionality mirrors the pivot table/chart functionality that many
reports offer in the ONE system, but offers the additional benefit of constant visibility to the
data from the dashboard. This set of instructions covers the basic creation of a Custom
Analytic widget at a high level.

Complete the following steps to create a custom analytic widget:

  1. Log in to the ONE system.

  2. Click the Edit the Dashboard button. (Users may need to navigate to the correct dashboard first.)
    The dashboard's edit mode displays.

  3. Click the Add Columnar Layout or the Add Fixed Layout buttons to add a new section to the dashboard, if necessary.

  4. Click the plus sign to add a new widget.
    The Add a (Fixed or Flexible) Widget popup window appears with Default Widgets displayed.
