Show external data as number tiles and donut charts

External data widgets now support number tiles and donut charts, giving you more ways to highlight totals and compare categories on your dashboards. Number tiles show the total of the first numeric metric, while bar and donut charts can use category data without a date grouping.

You can also choose a color palette or custom color for number, line, bar and donut visualizations. Your chosen colors carry through to the dashboard and shared view, and unavailable chart options explain what data they need.

Where to find it: Open an External data widget’s configuration to choose Number or Donut and adjust colors with the Appearance control.

Who it helps: People building dashboards from external data who want to highlight key totals, compare categories and customize how their results look.
