Add widget dialog box for Power BI tile widgets

This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

You use the Add widget dialog box to add a widget to a dashboard and to modify an existing widget. The settings that you need to specify depend on the widget type.

When you add a new widget by using this dialog box, you perform two steps.

In the first step, you select the type of the widget that you want to add to the dashboard; the system brings up the version of the Add widget dialog box that is specific to the widget type.

In the second step, you specify the properties that are specific for the selected widget type.

When you modify an existing widget, you perform only the second step. (In this case, the system immediately brings up the appropriate version of the dialog box.)

When you want to add a new widget to a dashboard, you first need to select the type of the widget in the Add widget dialog box. The elements of the dialog box are described in the table below.
