To have data displayed in your widget, go to the second tab of the widget menu, called Datapoints.



The second tab shows your widget settings, which include:

Here you can add additional text, such as a more in-depth description of the widget or additional information. This text will appear below the name inside the widget.

Data point types

To have data shown in your widget you have the option to use fixed data points or dynamic data points. Dynamic data point widgets show values that can changes over time, for instance it will include the latest responses or comments, and the data can adjust when filters are applied to the dashboard. Fixed data point widgets, on the other hand, are added to the widget manually and always show the same values at all time.


When selecting fixed data points, you have to fill out the data that you want to show in the widget manually. Every type of widget has a different set of options for appearance. Below are the most common options:

  • Main data point: the outcome of the main objective/question.

  • Show symbol: when turning this option on, you can add a symbol to the main data point. For example, a %, $ or #. When doing this another option will appear in the menu, namely symbol position. Here you can choose if you want the symbol to appear in-front of the value "prefix" ($40) or after the value "suffix"(35%)

  • Show N (number of outputs): when turning this on, you can add the total number of inputs inside the widget. For example, the number of responses. 

  • Decimals main data point: the number of decimals that the main data point maximum can have. 

  • Min value:  the lowest value from a list of numerical expressions

  • Max value: the highest value from a list of numerical expressions

  • Scale (min value): the lowest numerical expressions possible at a scale-based question

  • Scale (max values):the highest numerical expressions possible at a scale-based question

  • Developing (+/-)#: the number of increase or decrease

  • Developing (+/-)%: the percentage of increase or decrease.

  • % Green: the percentages of respondents that ranked a question with a top tier score

  • % Red: the percentages of respondents that ranked a question with a bottom tier score

  • % Blue: the percentages of respondents that ranked a question with a neutral score

The other option is to use Dynamic datapoints, where your widgets automatically retrieves and calculates the results of your collected data. In that case, you need to connect the correct database variables to your widget. You can read more on how this works in our article on Datapoints - dynamic values.
