Dashboard widgets help you visualise and track engagement data. Each dashboard comes with default widgets, but you can customise them to show exactly what you want to measure.

How Widget Data Works
Widget data is determined by two main factors:
Your reporting context (Main dashboard or Project dashboard)
Your selected date filter
The only exception is the 'Currently logged-in users' widget, which shows real-time user numbers regardless of date filter.
Understanding “Unique“ Metrics
When you see “unique“ in a metric (like unique visitors or participants), it's counting one visit per IP address. Important note: Since multiple people can share an IP address (like in a household or workplace), several individuals using the same network will count as one unique visitor.
Available Widget Types
1. User Tracking Widgets
User Count & User List
Track users based on verification status, activity, or registration with these metrics:
| Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
| Verified | Total number of verified users |
| Last Active | Users showing activity within your specified timeframe |
| Registrations | Number of new user registrations |
Configuration Options:
Roles: Filter by specific user roles (Administrator, Project Manager, etc.)
Exclude Roles: Remove specific roles from the count
Suffix: Add context text after the number (e.g., “Users“)
