Tips and Tricks: Accessing Widget’s Data

Here is a powerful trick for those who want to see not just the shiny, colorful picture, but also the boring (yet so effective!) numbers behind each visualization. In the header of every widget on the dashboard, there is a small button that looks like a table (see the image above).

Clicking on this button will reveal the data from which this widget is rendered. Click that link, and you will be presented with a data grid that allows you to see the actual data, filter, sort, group, and export it into various formats. And yes, you can export it into an Excel-compatible .csv file. Though we have no idea why you would need to export this into Excel when Sherpa offers much more powerful and interactive ways to process the data. Just saying…

If you’re interested in processing, visualizing, and acting on your enterprise collaboration community data, feel free to contact 411Labs for a demo of 411Labs Sherpa capabilities and to discuss your requirements via LinkedIn DM.
