Create a Widget
Updated
Widget is an element in Sprinklr Reporting that enables users to customize their own visualizations and add metrics that users wish to dive deeper into and derive actionable insights. A widget offers multiple customization options such as custom visualizations, various metric compatibility, different data sources to choose from, filters, sorting, and formatting. While adding a widget to your Social Reporting dashboard, you can use the Widget Library to easily customize and add pre-existing templates to your dashboard. You can also use the widget editor, where you create a widget from scratch.
Note: While creating a widget, you can view details related to the metrics/dimensions in the platform itself. These details include not only the description, but also which metric to compare with in native analytics, and if it's paid/organic/total. This will serve as a floating reporting glossary for you. Currently, this is only supported for the Social Analytics data source, and the top used 300 metrics/dimensions in this source. Support for all other metrics will be rolled out soon. For details, see Tooltips & Floating Reporting Glossary.
To Create a Custom Widget
Click the New Tab icon. Under the Sprinklr Social tab, click Reporting within Analyze.
Select the desired reporting dashboard from the Reporting Dashboards home page.
Click Add Widget in the top right corner of the desired reporting dashboard.
Fill in the following fields as required on the Create Custom Widget window.
Field
Description
Widget Name
Enter a name for the widget.
+ Add Description
Click to enter the description of your widget.
Data Source
Select Social Analytics as the data source for your widget. This will be pre-selected by default if you create the widget in Social Reporting dashboards. For more details on different data sources, refer to Widget Data Sources.
Select a visualization for your widget

What would you like to plot on your widget?
Add metrics/dimensions to your widget that are organized into different categories. Refer to Metric and Dimension Categorization in Widgets for further details.
Click Bulk add Metrics/Dimensions to select both metrics and dimensions.
To find the required metric or dimension, simply use the search bar. The search functionality is optimized to enhance your search experience, including but not limited to the following features:
You can search for metrics or dimensions using common keywords. For example, searching for "Meta" will display metrics related to both Facebook and Instagram.
You can also search using secondary or tertiary terms in the metric name, and the relevant metrics will appear in the search results.
The search is case-insensitive, so it handles different letter cases automatically.
Use the Category and Channel filters to narrow down your search further.
While choosing any metrics and dimensions in the widget builder screen, any incompatible metrics or dimensions will be disabled and a message will be displayed to provide more details on their compatibility depending on your current selection.
