# Adding A New Widget

## **OVERVIEW**

Widgets are the basic visualization panels that build Dashboards in order to enable real-time quality monitoring.

Each widget is designed to clearly visualize the data collected from your own Data Sources.

## **ADDING A NEW WIDGET**

2. Click the **"New Widget"** button.
