Widgets Overview

Widgets are the core visual elements of dashboards in Sisense. They transform raw data into charts, KPIs, tables, and other interactive visualizations that help users explore trends, compare metrics, and uncover insights. Each widget represents a specific view of your data, whether it is a simple numeric indicator or a multi-dimensional chart.

Sisense provides a wide range of widget and chart types to suit different analytical needs—from bar, line, and pie charts to pivot tables, scatter plots, KPIs, maps, and more. Each type offers its own strengths, making it easy to choose the right visualization for your data and audience.

Widgets can be customized with filters, formatting options, and design settings, allowing you to fine-tune how your data is presented. As you build dashboards, you will use widgets to shape the story you want your data to tell.
