Kinds of Data Sources

With exceptions noted below, a dashboard widget can display data from any of the following data sources:

Data source	Where created	For information, see
Pivot tables	Analyzer	Using the Analyzer
Detail listings	Analyzer	Using the Analyzer
KPIs (key performance indicators)	Studio	Implementing InterSystems Business Intelligence
production business metrics (available only in an interoperability-enabled namespace)	Studio	Developing Productions

Exceptions:

A detail listing can be displayed only in a pivot table widget (in table mode).

The kind of data source does not affect the appearance of the widget; for example, the user cannot tell if a given chart is displaying data from a pivot table, a KPI, or a business metric.

Note that some kinds of widgets do not use data sources.
