Build a Widget

Use the builder to create or change a widget: describe it to the AI Assistant or write the SQL, run the query, and save.

Agentic Studio is currently in beta. Reach out to your CSM to request access or share feedback.

The builder is where you create or change a widget. On the left, the AI Assistant helps you build; on the right, you set the widget's details, write or review its SQL, and see the result.

New to Agentic Studio? Start with Agentic Studio Overview.

The builder: Build! assistant on the left; Widget Name, Widget Type, Widget Description, Data / SQL Query, Run Query, and Save Widget on the right

Open the builder

  • Pick a Build? starting point on the assistant home.
  • Accept the assistant's offer to build, when no metric answers your question.
  • Select Add a Widget on a Personal dashboard you own. The builder shows Adding widget to and the dashboard name.
  • Select Edit in a widget's menu (⋮). The builder opens with that widget.
