Adding a Report widget enables you to embed real-time, visual representations of key process data and metrics directly into the dashboard. This supports proactive monitoring, faster identification of trends or bottlenecks, and more informed decision-making — without navigating away from the dashboard. The Report widget can display any custom report built within Workflow Automation, enabling teams to tailor the dashboard to highlight the most relevant insights. By centralizing critical data, this widget enhances visibility, streamlines daily operations, and improves overall workflow efficiency. ## Adding a Report widget To add a Report widget, follow the steps below: 1. Go to the [Dashboards layout](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/configuring-dashboards.md) page for a dashboard. 2. Click **Add Widget** in the upper-right corner of the page. 3. On the pop-up that appears, select **Report** and click **Add Widget** to proceed. Click **Cancel** to terminate the operation. Newly added widgets appear at the bottom of the dashboard. Scroll down to find, move, or edit them. ## Adding a report to the widget To add a report: 1. Click the **Add Report** option in the widget. 2. On the pop-up that appears, select report you want to add. You can use search to find a report by its name. Click the **Close** icon to exit the pop-up. ## Accessing report Click the report title to open the complete linked report. Access is based on your permissions — only reports you’re authorized to view will open. ## Refresh and download report - Click the **Refresh** icon in the upper-right corner of the widget to update the report with the latest data. - Click the **Download** icon in the upper-right corner of the widget to download and save the report to your local device in the chosen export format. ## Additional options Depending on the report type, the following additional options may be available: - Click the **Filter** icon in the upper-right corner of the widget to apply filters and view only specific data subsets. Users cannot change these predefined filters if the dashboard is assigned to them by an admin. - Click the **Settings** icon (visible inside the report area) to customize the widget’s appearance, such as adjusting color schemes. ## Changing report layout You can resize the Report widget for improved readability and layout fit. As you resize, the number of report rows adjusts dynamically based on the widget height, ensuring optimal visibility of the report content. ## Changing a report To change a report that’s added to the widget: 1. Click the three dots icon in the upper-right corner of the widget. 2. Select the **Change report** option from the dropdown. 3. On the pop-up that appears, select the report you want to add. You can use search to find a report by its name. Click the **Close** icon to exit the pop-up. ## Editing widget settings To edit widget settings: 1. Click the three dots icon in the upper-right corner of the widget and select the **Edit widget** option from the dropdown. 2. On the pop-up that appears, you can edit the following settings: - **Widget name** — Modify the label that appears on the widget header. - **Link/unlink widget content and settings** - Linking keeps the widget content and configurations consistent across all screen sizes. - Unlinking enables you to customize the widget layout or content independently for each screen size — useful for optimizing display for mobile vs. desktop. - Relinking restores shared behavior, overriding any screen-specific edits made while unlinked. - **Add/delete widget on a screen** - Click the **Add** icon to include the widget on additional screen sizes. - Click the **Delete** icon to remove the widget from a particular screen size without affecting its presence on others. ## Deleting the widget To delete the widget: 1. Click the three dots icon in the upper-right corner of the widget. 2. Select the **Delete widget** option from the dropdown. ## Saving changes Once you finish customizing the widget: - Click **Save dashboard** in the upper-right corner to apply the changes. - Click **Discard** to cancel any unsaved edits. ## Next steps Refer to the guides below to learn about the following widgets and their configuration: - [My Tasks](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-my-tasks-widget-to-dashboard.md) - [My Requests](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-my-requests-widget.md) - [Monitor Requests](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-monitor-requests-widget.md) - [Manage Requests](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-manage-requests-widget.md) - [KPI’s](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-a-kpi-widget.md) - [HTML Panel](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-an-html-widget-to-your-dashboard.md) - [Today’s Messages](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-today-messages-widget.md) --- ## Related pages - [Enhance your dashboard with report widgets](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-a-report-to-a-dashboard-legacy.md) - [Adding a KPI’s widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-a-kpi-widget.md) - [How to add widgets to your dashboard](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-an-html-widget-to-your-dashboard-legacy.md) - [Adding an HTML Panel widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-an-html-widget-to-your-dashboard.md) - [Adding a DashForm widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-dashform-widget.md) - [Adding Manage Requests widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-manage-requests-widget.md) - [Adding a Monitor Requests widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-monitor-requests-widget.md) - [Adding a My Requests widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-my-requests-widget.md) - [Adding a My Tasks widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-my-tasks-widget-to-dashboard.md) - [Adding a Today’s Messages widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-today-messages-widget.md) - [Managing roles and permissions for dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/assigning-and-sharing-dashboards.md) - [Customize and enhance your dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/configuring-dashboards-legacy.md) - [How to assign and share dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/assigning-and-sharing-dashboards-legacy.md) - [View or edit a dashboard layout](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/configuring-dashboards.md) - [How to create and manage dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/creating-dashboards-legacy.md) - [How to create and manage dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/creating-dashboards.md) - [Streamline your workflow with our dashboard interface](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/dashboard-interface-legacy.md) - [Accessing dashboards and navigating the interface](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/dashboard-interface.md) - [Customize dashboards for improved user experience](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/legacy-dashboard.md) - [Customize dashboards for improved user experience](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/modern-dashboard.md) - [Streamline your workflows with launch buttons](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/launch-buttons-legacy.md) - [Maximize dashboard capabilities with the HTML Panel widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/using-the-dashboard-html-panel-widget-legacy.md)
