WARNING


The max-width of one page is 810 px. To leave some room for spacing the recommended  Width value is around 600 px.



2. Widget logic rules

If you want to only show this widget under certain conditions, it's time to set the widget logic rules


You can create logic rules so that widgets are only displayed when certain criteria are met. If you want to show a general widget that is visualized every time a PDF report is generated, you can choose not to include a widget logic rule. Learn more about Widget Logic

What's next?

  • Use the bubble chartwidget to show your respondents their results from different questions and compare them to other components. A bubble chart stands out because it allows for a comparison between three variables. 
  • Add a gauge chart to the personalized PDF report to represent average or actual scores or percentage results for question blocks or formulas. Respondents can see at a glance if they've scored towards the top-end or bottom-end of the scale. 
  • Add a Bar Chart widget to your customized report to show respondent's results or another data set at a glance. A Bar Chart displays your data with rectangular bars and you can show data separated into categories with relative numbers.
