When creating classic dashboards you will have to add individual widgets in order to build your dashboard. This article will walk you through how to add and edit dashboard widgets.
How to Add a Widget
To get started, lets follow the simple steps below:
On your existing Dashboard, click on the edit button located at the top right corner of the page and you will then see the Add Widget button appear
Select which type of widget you'd like to add (see this article here to learn more about your widget options) and then click on Add to Dashboard
Configure your widget by selecting your inputs, searches, tags, and applying specific filters
Click on save when you are finished with your widget criteria. You can hover your mouse over your widget and click on the arrow to open up the widget, examine the results, or export the results (you must open up the widget for the exporting option)
