Widgets are the bread and butter of the Cyfe experience. While you are customizing your dashboard, you have the ability to reconfigure or modify any widgets you have added to it. These widgets provide visualization into your business's data and trends, allowing you to set goals, plan alerts, and report on how your business is performing.

What is a Widget?

Cyfe helps you visualize your business information by adding snapshots of information to your dashboard. We accomplish this through the use of Widgets, which take information from different websites or services and displays it to you over a period of time. Depending on what type of information you want displayed, Cyfe likely has the widget for you.

Adding a Widget

Adding a widget to your dashboard in Cyfe is a fairly simple process.

1. Navigate to the dashboard you would like to host the widget on

Click on the Dashboard dropdown

Select the appropriate Dashboard from the list

2. Select the "Add Widget" button from the upper right of the screen

3. Choose the widget you would like to use based on the information you would like to display

• For a list of available widgets broken down by category, please see: Available Widgets
  

4. Select "Add"

• Once you had added the widget, it will appear in your dashboard

Once the widget has been added to your dashboard you can move it around and resize it by selecting the edges of the box

Editing a Widget:

Once a widget has been added to your dashboard, each widget can be customized to fit your business needs. Outside of configuring the widget so it connects to whatever account or data point you want to display, you can also set alerts for when you hit certain metrics, and also set goals.

Configuring a Widget:

Under the Configure widget option you can edit any of the settings you setup when you originally created the widget. To configure your widget, perform the following:

1. Add a widget to your dashboard

2. Select "Configure Widget" from the center of the widget, or select the gear icon in the upper right corner

3. Enter appropriate information based on your widget

4. When complete, select "Save Widget."

Widget Alerts:

Alerts will allow you to monitor metrics even when you're away from your dashboards. You can set up email or SMS notifications to go out when certain conditions are met (e.g. when your website's traffic level drops.)

Widget Goals:

Goals will allow you to benchmark metrics against your business objectives (e.g. whether your sales team hits their daily quota). It's a great way to identify areas of improvement within your organization.

Move Widget:

The Move widget will allow you to shift a widget from one dashboard to another dashboard on your account. To move a widget, perform the following:

1. Choose the widget you would like to move.
2. Select the right pointing arrow icon in the upper right.
3. Select the dashboard you would like to move the widget to.
4. Select "Move Widget."
   • Cyfe will refresh on the Dashboard where

Remove Widget:

The Remove widget will delete the widget (and any historical data associated with the widget) from your account.
