Dashboard Widget Properties

How to read this table

Properties, Filters and Settings listed below apply for all Dashboard widgets in both Personal Dashboards and Non-Personal Dashboards. 

💡 As the widgets share concepts (e.g. filtering, thresholds), the table below is sorted alphabetically. Use CTRL+F to search for your widget or UI element.

 

INC Dashboard Widget Data Size Limitations

☝FILTER/QUERY SIZE LIMITATIONS

To keep the performance on Dashboards manageable, query limits of 200 users / 200 services each apply on filtering (e.g. when selecting very large Organization Units). This limit applies summed-up across all widgets on the same Dashboard.

💡A warning and counters will be shown when this limit is exceeded and data will not be queried.

💡(Existing) Dashboards that break this limit will not be adjusted retroactively, but also show the warning instead of the actual data query.

  • User State Tabular
Picture of the user, as defined in the Tenant's user directory. Also shows the → Presence State as a small colored dot.
Background Color
  • Service / User KPI tile widgets

A choice of background colors.

💡The font color inverts automatically increase contrast on bright colors.

Colors (Value thresholds)
  • Heatmap widgets
  • Any “Tabular” widgets
  • Any “Tile” widgets

Colors can be applied:

  • ...for tabular widgets, color applied to the respective cell / KPI column upon reaching a threshold criteria match.
  • ...for tile widgets, color applied to the whole tile as base and changed upon reaching a threshold criteria match.

On Heatmaps the colors are fixed as follows:

  • <ChartColors.BittersweetRed> 0% - 2% tasks have been handled
  • <ChartColors.BittersweetRedFawnOrangeTransition> 2% - 33% tasks have been handled
  • <ChartColors.FawnOrange> 33% - 63% tasks have been handled
  • <ChartColors.FawnOrangeMountainMeadowTransition> 63% - 98% tasks have been handled
  • <ChartColors.MountainMeadow> 98% - 100% tasks have been handled

🔎 Also see → Thresholds.

Columns
  • Any "Tabular" widgets
  • Service Supervision widgets

Determines which columns get shown in a tabular widget.

💡 To reorder, drag and drop the entries       

During Edit Mode you can do the following:

KPI NOTES ON WIDGET BEHAVIOR

Average calculated KPI values are weighted against the total amount of items (e.g. Tasks, Handled Calls, Reachability, etc.) within the services specified in your widget → Filter.
This is to ensure that - for example - a service with just one failed call showing a 0% handled-rate does not negatively impact overall KPI metrics of services with thousands of calls with a 99% handled-call rate.

 

Selection of a KPI criteria will automatically restrict other fields to the same type (e.g. tasks, time, percentages
💡The dropdown is filtered automatically as you add more KPI to an existing widget.
💡 Example: On a comparison chart, picking any KPI of type "Task" will limit further values to be selected to task-based KPIs. This is to keep the axis reference and unit count consistent. → To show different KPIs, either start a separate widget or delete any KPI entries, switching the last entry to a different criterion (percentage, task, user, time, etc.).


💡 Tip: Some widgets allow to display a single KPI name in the → Title field. The placeholder <KPI> will dynamically get replaced with your selected KPI.

 

KPI UNITS AND THRESHOLDS

Some widgets allow to define → Thresholds to react to KPI value changes with color and sound. 

Note that:

  • … changing your KPI metric type (e.g. from percentage to a flat numbers) will delete any of your defined threshold entries as they are now invalid.
  • … switching to the same type (e.g. from % to %) will retain the thresholds you defined previously.

💡 Tip: If this happens to you by accident you can restore your previous threshold settings by cancelling the widget edit, which discards your changes.

 
Legend
  • All Graph and Chart widgets

Allows to hide or show a KPI legend on any side of the widget.

💡 When "Hidden" is selected, the legend can be accessed via mouseover on an info-icon in the widget corner.  

Level
  • Live Service Tasks Tabular

Threshold (Filters)
  • Live Service Tasks Tabular
  • Service KPI Tabular
  • Service KPI Tile
  • Service Supervision
  • User State Tabular
  • User Supervisor Tabular

Applies an event threshold that reacts to a specified KPI (or column in tabular widgets).

The threshold criteria are as follows:

Rules
  • Rule matching happens from top to bottom upon first "match" the threshold evaluation is aborted.
  • The order can be changed with the drag & drop handles located on the left of already defined threshold list entries.
Values
  • Values depend on the → KPI selected for the threshold (e.g. number of tasks members, or percentage of handled calls).
  • Non-numerical entries (e.g. User Presence State) can also be affected, e.g. when a presence state exceeds a certain "Time in State" threshold. Here is an example:

☝ Note that changing your → KPI metric type (e.g. from percentage to flat numbers) deletes the defined thresholds.

Display Format

The display format is picked based the chosen KPI

  • %: default to "100%"
  • tasks/users: defaults to "0"
  • hh:mm:ss: defaults to "00:00:00" with timepicker

Time in State
  • Live Service Tasks Tabular
  • Service Supervision
  • User State Tabular

Tracks the time (upwards counting) since the Service / User state has changed. Depending on the widget this column tracks different times: 

  • For Tasks it counts the time since the last call task state change in the system: In IVR, In Queue, In IVR After Queue, Connected, Parked, Transferring
  • For Presence States changes it counts the time since the user's MS Teams messenger presence has changed: Available, Busy, Away, DND, BRB, Offline.
  • For Supervision sessions it counts the time since the user is in an active call session that allows for Supervision → Controls to be used.

💡 We recommend to combine this column with → Thresholds to mark entries that have exceeded a certain time limit.

Title

  • Markdown widget
  • "Tabular" widgets
  • "State" widgets

Customizable widget title. Can be hidden for some widgets via "Show Title" Toggle.

URL (external Website)
  • Embedded Website

Used to specify an embedded website.

 The URL must start https:// - insecure websites are not allowed.

WEBSITE EMBEDDING LIMITATIONS

Some websites prevent IFrame embeds on remote sites, which cannot be circumvented. When you try to embed such protected URLs, errors like 401 (unauthorized) or a "Refused to Connect" message will be shown instead of your desired output.

✅ Possible Workarounds:

  • If available, consult your external source website support to check if any iframe-referrals are allowed. Some services offer specialized data widgets for that purpose or provide authorized token-URLs that you can use.
  • If you have access to whitelists on your source website, try to allow the *.luware.cloud domain.

There are two types of HTTP headers in websites that control iframe loading:

X-Frame-Options: DENY

Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'

The HTTP Content-Security-Policy specifies valid parents that may embed a page using <frame>, <iframe>, <object>, or <embed>.

A website header called x-frame-options specifies the access prevention, determined via the following values: 

  • if set to DENY the site isn't allowed to be loaded in iframe 
  • if set to SAMEORIGIN the page can only be embedded in a frame on a page with the same origin as itself.
  • if set to ALLOW-FROM the page can only be displayed in a frame on the specified origin. This only works in browsers that support this header.
