Results Dashboards Widgets
About Results Dashboards Widgets
Widgets are tables or graphs that display your data. When you generate a report page in the Results section, widgets are created for you automatically, but you can always add more. Each widget varies in its options and settings, however, there are some basic principles that apply to all or most widget types, which we will detail on this page.
Widget Types

Qtip: Widgets cannot be moved from private pages.
You can also move and resize your widgets by clicking and dragging the corner of the widget.
Table: Default Field Types for Each Question
When creating a dashboard, every field needs to be assigned a field type. Field types help specify the type of data mapped into the field, which then determines which widgets the field can be added to. The Field Types & Widget Compatibility (CX) page has a guide to all the different widgets and what field types work with them. You can also find this information on each individual widget’s support page. (For example, here is field type compatibility for gauge chart widgets.)
In results dashboards, each type of survey question is assigned a specific field type by default. You cannot edit this field type. For help figuring out which widgets you can use with your survey questions, see the table below for a list of question types and their corresponding fields.
