Using and Configuring Widgets 4
Widgets include configuration options that you can edit to customize them for your use. For example, you
can select the metrics that the Data Distribution Analysis widget shows by editing its configuration. The
available configuration options vary depending on the widget type. Some widgets do not show any data
until you configure them.
Most widgets can provide information to, or receive information from, other widgets. For example, you can
configure the Metric Sparklines widget to show a graph for a metric that you select in the Metric Selector
widget. These relationships are called widget interactions.
