What Widgets are Available?

There are myriad widgets available for different types of boards. One thing to remember when thinking of the widgets that you want to add to your reports is that reporting widgets mostly track counts of different aspects of your board. For example, number of closed cards, the percentage of closed cards compared to open cards, and the number of cards in each stage.

💡
The starting point of a card is its card creation date. If it was created within the date parameters, it will appear on board reports.
 

Once enabled, Board Reports are blank. You can choose to install all Standard Widgets or install them one by one. Then, you can resize them by selecting the corner of the widget and dragging them to the desired size.

💡
You cannot install ALL standard widgets if widgets have previously been installed. Delete all widgets, and then, install all standard widgets.

Below you’ll find different descriptions of each report widget organized by the board they appear on.
