Widgets

Widgets are the building blocks of your dashboard. They let you display data, statistics, charts, and project elements—like text or images. Each widget is highly customizable: you can adjust its content, appearance, and behavior to fit your needs, whether you want to highlight key numbers, visualize trends, or add context with text and graphics.
