About Widgets
Overview
Fusion's dashboard provide data visualization using widgets.
Widgets are individual components or elements that display specific types of data or perform particular functions within the dashboard. Each widget typically serves as a mini-application or visualization that focuses on a specific aspect of the data, allowing users to interact with and analyze information in a more granular way.
Key Characteristics of Fusion Widgets
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Visualization | Widgets can present data in various formats such as charts, graphs, tables, maps, or gauges. For example, a line chart widget might display network traffic over time, while a pie chart widget could show the distribution of traffic across different protocols. |
| Interactivity | Many widgets are interactive, allowing you to hover over data points for more details, click to drill down into more specific data, or filter the data presented in the widget. This interactivity enhances engagement and provides deeper insights. |
| Customization | Widgets can often be customized to meet specific needs. You might be able to adjust the data range, change the type of visualization, or configure how the data is grouped or filtered. |
| Modularity | Widgets are modular, meaning they can be added, removed, or rearranged on the dashboard to fit your workflow or the specific insights they need to gather. |
| Real-Time Updates | Some widgets are designed to refresh automatically, providing real-time data and allowing you to monitor ongoing processes or activities without needing to manually refresh the dashboard. |
