Widget
A widget displays the analysis result of stream data processing with the specified format. The types of widgets that are available include bar graphs, pie charts, scatter charts, line graphs, and tables. Note that only one widget can be displayed on a canvas.
The following discusses the data display order for widgets and how to change from a widget to a different URL.
Data display order
  • Bar graph, pie chart, and broken line graph
    Data on the abscissa is sorted in ascending order.
  • Table
    Data in column 1 is sorted in ascending order.
    You sort the data in the column by clicking the column header. Each time the column header is clicked, the sort order toggles between ascending order and descending order. There is no second-level sorting, so if the sort column contains multiple items with the same value, these data items are not further sorted.
Changing the URL
Double-clicking in the displayed widget displays a new window containing information about a target URL that has been specified in the Dashboard Viewer window layout file. The table below describes how to change the URL for each type of widget.
