Embedded Widgets
A figure that lives on the screen where the work happens, instead of on a board somebody has to remember to open. Build it once, and everyone who opens that screen sees it worked out against their own records.

The default renderer for its shape, in default colors. A series tile plots its first measure alone and a table tile can never become a grid, because the extra measures and the pivot settings are not read either. No click emission, no hop to another board.
Product figures from the platform’s own defaults - not customer averages
How it works.
Name the spot, and one widget answers it
Lowercase letters and digits joined by dots or underscores, two to sixty-four characters, unique platform-wide. The screen asks for a slot by name. Whichever widget carries that name answers, and swapping which widget answers is a rename rather than a code change.
One tile, and no copies of it to drift
The definition stays on the platform side and is executed against the connection of whoever asked. One authored definition serves every workspace, and none of them holds a copy that can drift from it.
Anyone signed in can see it, so pick the figure carefully
Any signed-in member may render any slot. There is no board permission to check, because the definition is the operator's and the records are already fenced by whose session is asking. That is the trade being made and it is worth knowing before a sensitive figure is published to one.
It moves while you are looking at it
A poll every minute, or every five seconds when the definition is marked live, paused entirely while the tab is in the background. A hover button forces a pass that skips the cache and reseeds it.
One moment in every number.
Every number passes through the same seven. Embedded Widgets is the lit one, and everything either side of it is a different page in this category.

The specifics.
8 facts- Slot
- Two to sixty-four lowercase characters with dots or underscores between segments
- Uniqueness
- One definition per slot, across the whole platform
- Where it renders
- Inside the signed-in product, as a component against a session-scoped endpoint. It is not an iframe, a script tag or anything a third-party site can host
- Presentation
- The chosen renderer, the palette and the presentation settings travel with the definition, so a slot draws the tile as it was authored
- Shape limits
- Extra measures and pivot settings travel too, so a series tile plots all of its measures and a table tile can be a grid
- Interaction
- No click emission and no hop to another board
- Caching
- The widget's own window, keyed by workspace and by a version counter every record write bumps. A window of zero disables it
- Not the same as
- Dashboard Sharing, which hands over a whole board to people who already have accounts
What this is assembled from.
A number on a dashboard was built somewhere before it was drawn. These are the parts it is made of.

12 capabilitiesSeven data shapes, twenty-two visuals, shareable without a login.
Nobody builds a chart that misreads its own numbers, or finds that out on the wallboard. Columns, funnels, treemaps, radar, scatter, gauges and pivots.
The board a team opens on holds the figures that team is judged by, not everybody's. Six columns to lay them out in, and your own tab opens first.
Click the bar for one queue and the rest of the board goes with it. The next question gets asked by pointing at the answer, and undone by clicking again.
Some answers will not fit on the board that raised the question. A click leaves carrying the value it stood on, and lands on a board already narrowed to it.
Agents down the side, weeks across the top, and the number you care about in every cell. The shape finance asks for when a chart will not settle the argument.
A board on the wall gets read from across the room. Anything under target colors itself as the chart is painted, so a supervisor sees it without stopping.
The number that was promised, drawn across the same chart as the number that arrived, so the floor reads itself against its target, not yesterday's bars.
Nobody has to remember what last week looked like, or dig out the sheet it was written on. The same figure is counted again over the window before it.
The report that needs two exceptions and a date range stays one widget, instead of three tiles that nearly agree. Seventeen operators in a nested and-or tree.
Ten thousand plus never turns up before two hundred on a board the floor is watching. Group by day through year, by equal bands, or by breakpoints you set.
Six palettes, one a print set for the pack that goes in front of a client. Pin one to a tile and the series, axis, grid and tooltip all move together.
How many calls, how many answered, how long they ran, how many missed, counted off the records the switch already wrote. Not a sample or last night's export.
The rest of the platform.
Five more categories, all on the same record and the same bill. Each card names three of its capabilities, so you can tell from here whether it is worth opening.
