The Table widget is a visualization widget that displays data in tabular form, with rows and columns. In a dashboard context, a table widget is often used to display key metrics and data points in a visually organized and easily digestible format.

The widget also provides the functionality to sort data in Ascending or Descending Order.

To create a Table Widget

To plot the Table widget, you can use any existing editable dashboard or create a new one. Refer to this article to learn how to set up a Custom Dashboard.

Once you have the dashboard where you want to add the visualization widget, follow the steps below:

1. On the custom dashboard, click Add Widget in the top right corner.

   ​

   

2. On the widget builder, enter the widget's name, and select Social Analytics as Data Source.

3. Select Table as a visualization type for your Social widget.

4. Under the “What would you like to plot on your widget?” section, you can plot your desired dimensions and metrics e.g., Social Network, Day of Week and Client. You’ll need to add at least one metric and one dimension to show the data on preview and add the widget to the dashboard.

8. Click Add to Dashboard on the bottom right corner to create your new widget.
