Dazzling Dashboard KPI Widgets in Quickbase
Jul 12, 2022I was recently asked by a client of mine, "Is there much in the way of good KPI Widget documentation out there aside from the conference videos? I just can't seem to find much out there."
He wasn't missing something.
How to add the bold KPI Widgets to the new style Dashboards is not obvious.
