Widgets

The topics in this section describe all available dashboard widgets. You can create the widgets from the following BVD shapes in Visio:

You can edit the properties of a widget in Visio (by editing the Shape Data) or in BVD (by editing a dashboard in Manage Dashboards). We recommend that you make your changes in BVD because the dashboard editor simplifies this task by offering values in drop-down lists for you to choose.

Some advanced operations can only be done in Visio itself. See Tips and Tricks for details.

You can upload an SVG file as often as you want. If the file already exists, BVD replaces the previous version of the file with the newer version and opens the associated dashboard for you to edit. The newer version does not overwrite existing dashboard properties or widgets, only new widgets are added.
