Widget Menu
In the Widget Menu, you will find the following fields:
- List of variables retrieved from underlying data. Variables are grouped by Dimensions and Measures.
- Dimensions are variables that contain qualitative values, such as names and dates. In your analysis, you can use dimensions to group or segment data, therefore change an aggregation level of data view.
- Measures are variables that contain numeric and qualitative values that could be summarized or counted against dimensions.
- List of widget types. Currently, we support Simple Chart, Scatter Plot, Number Box, Pie Chart, Treemap, Geo Map, Table, Pivot Table, Cohort Table. Additionally, you can perform more complex statistics charts, such as Linear and Standardized Regression, Driver Analysis, and Correlation.
