Object Viewer Widget (Studio)

About the Object Viewer

Qtip: To modify dashboard widgets, a user must have an Edit Dashboard permission and be granted Can Edit permission for the specific dashboard. For information about widget permissions, please see Editing Widget Properties.

Attention: To ensure optimal Studio performance, there is a limit on the number of widgets that can be added to each dashboard. For more information, see Maximum Widgets per Dashboard.

There are 2 object viewer widget types: the object viewer – model widget and the object viewer – rubric widget.
You can use the object viewer – model widget to visualize a categorization model as a hierarchy of topics presented as nodes in a tree with key metrics. This widget enables you to:

Visualize the hierarchy of topics in a model.
Drill down to specific topics.
Filter other widgets by topics.

You can use the object viewer – rubric widget to share the underlying structure of your rubrics and provide the transparency required to interpret intelligent scores while maintaining the guardrails for editing the rubrics.

For information about editing widget properties, resizing or rearranging a widget, using a widget as a filter, creating a copy of a widget, applying filters to a widget and more, see Widgets (XM Discover).
