Info Widget
The Info Widget displays a single value — a count, sum, or aggregated metric — in a large, styled card on the dashboard. It supports conditional colour rules, a clickable detail view, and dynamic linking to other widgets.
Typical use cases
| Use case | Example label | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Show active employees | Active Employees | employee_status = true |
| Display open tickets | Open Tickets | ticket_status = open |
| Highlight failed imports | Failed Records | status = failed |
| Show overdue tasks | Overdue Tasks | due_date < today() |
Data sources

Configuration panels
Data panel
Controls what the widget shows and when it is visible.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Widget Name | Title shown on the card, e.g. "Active Employees" |
| Widget Description | Optional help text shown below the title |
| Datasource | Choose Custom Table, Workflow, or Event |
| Select Table | Bind to a specific dataset |
| Linked From | Connect to another widget — this widget updates when that widget changes |
| Show on Event | Make this widget visible only when a linked widget has an active selection |
| Hide on Event | Hide this widget when a linked widget's selection is cleared |

Appearance panel
Controls how the value and card look.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Widget Name Font Size | Font size for the card title (default: 24) |
| Widget Data Font Size | Font size for the displayed value (default: 60) |
| View Details | Toggle whether the "View details" link is visible |
| Data Warning Rules | Define numeric ranges with custom background colour, text colour, and icon — e.g. turn the card yellow when count reaches 451–600 |
| Icon | Choose an icon from the library, set size (XS to Large), and position it left or right of the value |
Details panel
Defines which fields appear when a user clicks View details.
- Select the columns from your dataset to include
- Drag and drop to set their display order
- Use the magnifying glass icon to mark a column as searchable in the detail view
Filter panel
Restricts the dataset to specific rows before the widget calculates its value.
| Field type | Available conditions |
|---|---|
| Text | Is, Contains, Starts with, Ends with, Is empty |
| Numeric | Equals, Greater than, Less than, Is between, Is empty |
| Date | Is, Is before, Is after, Relative to, Is between |
| Boolean | Is / Is not (true / false) |
| Compare | Compare one field against another field |
Use Filter Groups with AND / OR logic to combine multiple conditions:
- Group A:
employee_gender = FemaleANDtenure_years > 5 - Group B:
employee_gender = MaleANDtenure_years < 20 - Combine with:
Group A OR Group B
Widget linking
Link an Info Widget to an Input Widget or any other widget that emits a selection event. Once linked, its content and visibility respond automatically to what the user selects — just set the Linked from field in the Data panel.
An Info Widget showing "Active Employees: 498" is linked to a Search Employees Input Widget. When the user searches, the count updates to reflect the filtered result and a View details link appears showing the matching records.
