Overview:

It's possible to display information from other sources with the newer SQL Widgets. Multiple view type widgets like Grid, Charts and Scrolling ticker tapes are all at your disposal, so be creative!


Tips:

When using generic SQL Widgets the following parameters are required:

  • Connection string to the database
  • Table or View name
  • Optional: field name when grouping is required, for instance when using a Chart widget
