What Is A Widget?
A widget is an element in the Statusbrew Report that allows users to add metrics that they wish to dive deeper into, customize their own visualizations, and derive actionable insights.
A widget offers various customization options like visualization types, metric compatibility, different dimesions, filters, sorting, and formatting.
While adding a widget to your Reports, you can use the Widget Library to add pre-existing templates and easily customize them. You can also use the widget editor to create a widget from scratch.

Widget Metrics & Dimensions
Widget metrics represent the data points you wish to track in your reports, such as reach, engagement, or followers. Dimensions help you break down these metrics for deeper analysis. This way, you can customize your reports to display data in the most relevant way for your business needs.
Multiple dimensions and metrics can be applied to a single widget for more granular analysis, but they should be chosen carefully to ensure the data remains meaningful and easy to interpret.

Widget Filters
By applying filters, you can drill down into your data, analyze specific data sets, and uncover specific insights relevant to your goals.
Note: Filters are metric-specific and the filters you might see will vary according to the metric you've selected.
Widget Sorts
The Sorting option allows you to control how data is arranged within your widget’s visualization. You can select a Metric or Dimension used in your widget and decide whether the data should be displayed in ascending or descending order.
Note: Only the Metrics and Dimensions that are already used to plot the widget can be selected for sorting.
Widget Configuration
Widget configuration helps you fine-tune the appearance and behavior of your custom widget so that it best conveys the insights you want to highlight.
It allows you to adjust visual elements such as labels, legends, axes, steps, and target lines to create clear, meaningful, and visually optimized data representations.
The available widget configuration options will depend on the type of visualization selected.
