What is a Gadget?
Overview
Gadgets are the small components in a dashboard that display the data. They fetch the data from the source as defined in the chosen datasource (see Learn about Datasources), and turn it into useful information. The information is rendered in a variety of forms like plain text, different graphs, tables, images and so on.
Metrics and KPIs
Gadgets track your metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs); selecting the right gadget is the first step to create useful dashboards that meet your goals.
Dashboard Hub provides a growing catalog of ready to go gadgets with the main metrics and KPIs (See Dashboard Gadgets: KPIs and Metrics).
