Widgets

You can add the Matomo widgets like any other widget to a dashboard. Please note, that the widgets have to be enabled in the site configuration and the permissions for editors have to be granted to be able to use these widgets.

Hint

Most widgets need an activated module in Matomo to work. If a module is not available, an error is displayed in the widget. The parameters of the underlying data providers can be adjusted. Have a look into the Widget configuration section.

The following widgets are available. A link to the corresponding page in Matomo is displayed via in icon in the header bar of the widget if the report is available.
