Widget: Key metrics
The Key metrics widget shows the totals of every metric of a saved report as a row of tiles. Use it at the top of a dashboard to see the main numbers at a glance.

What the report needs
Any saved report with at least one metric. Groupings are ignored: the widget always shows totals.
Views
The widget has several views. Switch the view in the widget header while the dashboard is in edit mode; the choice is saved with the dashboard.
Sparkline
The total for the period, the values for today, yesterday and the last 7 days, and a small trend line under each metric.
Compact
Totals only, in dense tiles. Use it when the widget is small.

Pace vs yesterday
Today's value against yesterday's value at the same hour, the pace in percent and a forecast for the end of the day.

How to add the widget
- Open Tracker → Dashboard, open the dashboard list and click the pencil icon next to your dashboard to enter edit mode.
- Click Add Widget and choose Key metrics in Display type.
- Pick a report in Select saved report. The list shows only reports that fit this display type. If it is empty, create a report in Tracker → Reports first.
- Set the optional title, width and height, then click Save.
- Click Save on the dashboard toolbar to keep the changes.
Period
The widget shows data for the period saved in its report; the caption under the title shows the dates. When you change the dates in the dashboard date selector, all widgets switch to the dashboard period.
Tips
- Metrics keep the order they have in the report. Change the order in the report builder.
- On a narrow widget the tiles wrap to the next line.
