Add Multiple Widgets

The new feature is designed to streamline the process of adding multiple questions from a project in the form of Widgets to the custom dashboard, making it particularly beneficial for surveys with extensive question sets. Users can easily select specific questions or metadata to be displayed, tailoring the dashboard to their project’s needs.

To add multiple widgets, please follow the steps below:

Create a new Dashboard.
Once the Dashboard is created, open the menu using the three-dots in the top right corner and select Add Multiple Widgets.
Select the column layout for your widgets. Choose 1 Column to stack widgets vertically, or 2 Columns to place them side by side. The number of rows will adjust based on the number of widgets added.
Choose the project from which you want to add widgets.
From the Question and Metadata dropdowns, select the specific questions and metadata for the widgets you wish to add.

The Add Multiple Widgets option is not available for Drill Down, Ranking, Signature, Numeric Allocation, and Attachment question types.

Select the format in which the widgets should display data: Graph, Table or both. All compatible questions and metadata from the selected project will be shown according to the chosen format.
If you already have widgets on the Dashboard, use the Position option to decide where to place the new widgets—either at the top of the Dashboard before existing widgets or at the bottom.
Next, go to Advanced Settings to define additional specifications for your widgets.
In Advanced settings you can configure the following:
1. Overall: Settings in this section will affect your widgets overall.
  1. Sort By: Sort your answer options based on the following criteria:
    - In order of appearance of the question
    - In alphabetical order (A to Z)
    - In reverse alphabetical order (Z to A)
    - From highest to lowest value
    - From lowest to highest value
2. Graph Settings: Specify the graph types for single-select and grid questions. Additionally, you can select color palettes for your graphs.
Once you have customized all the settings, click Done. All the selected questions will be added as their respective widgets to the Custom Dashboard instantly.
