Cloud Widgets

What is a Cloud Widget?

A Cloud Widget is a configurable component of the Cloud used to display Athlete Data in a variety of formats, such as tables, graphs, and charts. Widgets allow you to visualize, filter, and compare data in dashboards and PDF reports.

Creating a Cloud Widget

There are two ways to create a new widget:

1. In OpenField Cloud, go to Timeline, click on an empty Widget Tile on your dashboard.
2. A dropdown menu appears with the following options:
   • Add New Widget
   • Wizard
     
     

Option 1: Wizard (Recommended)

Select Wizard to launch the Widget Wizard, which:

• Guides you step-by-step through widget creation
• Displays a live preview as you configure the widget

Option 2: Add New Widget

Select Add New Widget to create a blank widget. This option is best for experienced users who want full control from the start.

After creation, customize the widget using the settings panel. See Customizing a Cloud Widget
