## How to add a new widget

To add a new widget to your dashboard:

1. Go to **Dashboard** in the main menu.
2. Choose the dashboard you would like to add a widget to.
3. Click on the **+ Add widget** button.
4. Choose a widget type (scroll down for all the types of widgets)
5. Choose how you want to aggregate your sensors
6. Choose a sensor or check you want to read in the widget and click **Next**
7. Adjust all options as you please, preview your widget on the right. If you’re happy, click on **+ Create**.

There is a selection of widgets to choose from: single value, line chart, bar chart, image, heatmap, gauge and RTR.

### What is a single value widget?

[Single value widgets](https://support.30mhz.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003737577-How-to-create-a-single-value-widget?hsLang=en) show only one value from the selected sensor(s). You create a widget for a single check, or you can create a widget for multiple checks.

### What is a chart widget?

[Chart widgets](https://support.30mhz.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003737597-How-to-create-a-line-chart?hsLang=en) contain graphs with multiple data points for a selected time frame. You can create a chart widget for a single check, or you can create a chart widget for multiple checks.

### What is a bar chart widget?

Much like the line chart widget, [the bar chart](https://support.30mhz.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003737637-How-to-create-a-bar-chart?hsLang=en) enables you to view single values, multiple sensor values, or aggregated data in a customizable bar graph.

### What is an image widget?

An [image widget](https://support.30mhz.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003699278-How-to-create-an-image-widget?hsLang=en) enables you to drop sensor values onto an uploaded image: a map, photograph of your facility, chart– the choice is yours– offering a more tangible view of your sensor data.

### What is a heatmap widget?

An evolution of the image widget, the heatmap widget also enables image upload, and the ability to place sensor readings on top of that image. With this widget, a heatmap of value distributions emerges, enabling you to quickly spot anomalies in heat, humidity, light intensity, or any other metric.

### What is a gauge widget?

Gauges are an easy way to see your metrics relative to maximums and minimums. Choose your sensor, choose your metric, select a time period and start measuring.

Voila! Congratulations on creating your first widget.
