For placement instructions, refer to the individual widget-type articles. For post-placement configuration, refer to Widget Options. Widget Types The following widget types are available within Custom Dashboards: Graph: Displays responses as dynamic charts (bar, line, pie, donut, and trend). Supports standard and grid question types with configurable trend analysis. Table: Presents responses in a structured tabular format for side-by-side numeric comparisons across segments, locations, or roles. Raw Responses: Displays complete participant records directly on the dashboard. Supports all question types (excluding Attachment and Signature) and includes drag-and-drop identifier management. Description: Adds text-based content such as section headers, explanatory notes, or stakeholder instructions. This widget does not connect to a data source. Score: Displays a single key metric prominently, based on rating scale or metric questions. Designed for high-visibility KPIs such as NPS, CSAT, or custom scores. Cross Tab: Enables cross-tabulation between two variables to explore relationships that are not visible in single-variable views. NLP: Provides AI-driven analysis of open-ended responses, including sentiment scores, sentiment trends over time, and word clouds that highlight key themes.
