Dashboards & widgets - maneeshpal/Drata GitHub Wiki

Dashboard

There is no limit to the number of dashboards you can have. Each dashboard can be tagged with an identifier, which essentially lets you organize your dashboards into groups. It is n - n relation between tags and dashboards. So, you may attach a dashboard to multiple tags and have each tag reference multiple dashboards. Dashboard can host multiple widgets.

Widgets

Each widget can be connected to a collection/table in a different data source, giving you the ability to draw analytics from different datasources on any given dashboard. A widget can be placed anywhere on a dashboard and is completely responsive. There are 24 different combination of width and height allowed for a widget. So, every dashboard can be unique in style. Widgets are cloneable, and you can have as many copies of the same widget as you want on different dashboards.

There are 4 components involved in creating a widget.

1. Select the properties to visualize
2. Setup conditions
3. Apply aggregations if/when applicable
4. Date range for dynamically updatable widgets
