The Table widget is a visualization widget that displays data in tabular form, with rows and columns. In a dashboard context, a table widget is often used to display key metrics and data points in a visually organized and easily digestible format.

The widget also provides the functionality to sort data in Ascending or Descending Order.

To create a Table Widget

To plot the Table widget, you can use any existing editable dashboard or create a new one. Refer to this article to learn how to set up a Custom Dashboard.

Once you have the dashboard where you want to add the visualization widget, follow the steps below –

1. On the custom dashboard, click Add Widget in the top right corner.

   

2. On the widget builder, enter the widget's name, and select Listening as Data Source.

3. Select Table as a visualization type for your Listening widget.

   

4. Under the “What would you like to plot on your widget?” section, you can plot your desired dimensions and metrics e.g., Created Time and Mentions. You’ll need to add at least one metric and one dimension to show the data on preview and add the widget to the dashboard.

   

5. Select the configuration options as desired. For more information, refer to the ‘Configuration options’ section below.

6. Under the "Defined Advanced Options" section, you can apply filters, define additional properties and set personalized targets with these options.

7. Under the “Define Sorting” section, you can choose which metric to sort the table by, and whether to have it sorted in the Ascending or Descending order. This can also be done by using the column headers after the widget is added to the dashboard.

   

8. Click Add to Dashboard on the bottom right corner to create your new widget.
