About the Object Viewer

Qtip: To modify dashboard widgets, a user must have an Edit Dashboard permission and be granted Can Edit permission for the specific dashboard. For information about widget permissions, please see Editing Widget Properties.
Attention: To ensure optimal Studio performance, there is a limit on the number of widgets that can be added to each dashboard. For more information, see Maximum Widgets per Dashboard.

There are 2 object viewer widget types: the object viewer – model widget and the object viewer – rubric widget.
You can use the object viewer – model widget to visualize a categorization model as a hierarchy of topics presented as nodes in a tree with key metrics. This widget enables you to:

  • Visualize the hierarchy of topics in a model.
  • Drill down to specific topics.
  • Filter other widgets by topics.
