Dashboard widgets | Civio Engage Knowledge Base [ ![Civio Knowledge Base](/civio-light.svg) ](https://nginx.deploy-lagoon-production.engage-vic-docs.dh1.amazee.io) [Articles](/articles) [Home](/) [Knowledge base](/articles) [📊 Reporting](/articles?category=7) Dashboard widgets ================= Updated 3 months ago Search Go ***N.B: Important note for all for Engage Victoria reporting dashboards:*** *IP data was not being collected prior to the first of March 2023. Therefore, when the start of the date range is set prior to the first of March 2023, the following widgets won't display any data:* - *Count card - unique participants* - *Rate card - informed rate* - *Rate card - participation rate* - *Visitor activity graph - unique participant metric* - *Summary tables - unique participant metric* *Additionally, the IP Hash field in the submission export of any participation tool will not show any values.* This article lists all reporting widgets available across the different reporting dashboards (Sitewide/Enterprise, Team/Department, Project). **Important notes:** - Whenever a widget refers to a metric being ‘**unique**’ - for example in the context of a unique visitor or unique participant count - the uniqueness refers to a visit or participation from a unique IP address. However, an IP address is not a definitive way of defining a distinct individual. A single IP address could be allocated to multiple users located at the same household or workplace. If multiple people in the same household (sharing the same IP address) visit the website, these people will all be counted as a single visitor, as they all originate from the same IP address. - Reporting widgets **display data according to their reporting context** (Sitewide/Enterprise, Team/Department, Project) and **selected date filter**, except for the following two widgets: Both the ‘Currently online’ count card and the ‘Projects - Consultation status’ display the current numbers as of today, and are not filtered by the date filter on the dashboard. - Each reporting dashboard will **display a default set of widgets**. However, users can update the widgets on any of these dashboard.
