Dashboard Options
Creating and managing your ideal dashboard has never been easier! With the following versatile dashboard options, you can effortlessly customize your setup to meet your exact needs. These features are designed to make the process intuitive, empowering you to build and maintain a dashboard that is both highly functional and visually engaging.
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.

- 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.
- 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.
