Default widgets cover the basics. Custom widgets let you track exactly what matters to your program — from hours per custom field to attendance by event tag.
Creating a widget
- 1
Click Add Widget
From your dashboard, click Add Widget in the top right.
- 2
Choose a chart type
Line (trends over time), Bar (comparisons), Pie (distributions), or Stat Card (single big number).
- 3
Pick a metric
What to measure: total hours, event count, volunteer count, a custom field sum, etc.
- 4
Set filters
Optionally scope to a volunteer group, date range, event tag, or custom field value.
- 5
Name and save
Give it a clear name (e.g., 'Monthly hours — Park Cleanup Crew') and save.
Create widgets for every metric your funder cares about — total hours, unique volunteers, events held, impact field totals. When grant reporting time comes, screenshot the dashboard instead of building a report from scratch.
Widgets you create are visible to everyone with dashboard permission. Use the My View toggle if you want a personal-only widget that doesn't appear for other admins.
