About the Pie Widget

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, see Editing Widget Properties.
Qtip: 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.

You can use the pie widget to display data as a pie chart or a donut chart. This widget provides a useful way of comparing items and visualizing their relationship to the whole, preferably for only a few categories.
