Configurable Dashboards
With configurable dashboards, you can set up your own personalised digital workspace that brings together key information and metrics relevant to your role. A configurable dashboard serves as a central hub, combining data from different business processes and systems and presenting it in an intuitive, actionable format.
You can view dashboards your colleagues have set up, finding them quickly using the integrated search. Or create your own from scratch, choosing widgets from the widget library and arranging them freely to highlight what matters most, tailoring your workspace to your specific needs and priorities.
The Dashboards Page
The Dashboards page is your starting point for accessing and managing dashboards. Here, all dashboards that have been created are listed, and you can also create new dashboards from scratch.
Open Dashboards Page
To open the Dashboards page:
- At the top left of the screen, select
Dashboards.
Create New Dashboard
See Create and Configure Dashboard.
Open a Dashboard
All dashboards are shown as tiles and sorted by date of last change.
- To open a dashboard, click it.
Create and Configure Dashboard
It's easy to create your own dashboards. Here is what you need to do:
Open the Dashboards page.
Set up the new dashboard:
- Click Create Dashboard, enter a meaningful name, and then click Create. The new dashboard opens.
Add and configure widgets to visualise data:
Click + Add widget to open the widget library on the right. It contains two tabs: Standard and Pre-built.
Drag widgets to the dashboard and click
Configure to edit the
settings:
Reposition and resize widgets as needed:
Use the drag handle
on the
top left to move a widget to a new position.Use the handle
on the
bottom right to adjust the widget size.
Save your dashboard when finished:
- Click Save
For all widgets, text fields such as Title or Description can optionally be translated into all
languages ADOIT supports. Click 
Translate next to the field and enter the translations.
When you configure a widget that visualises data from a saved query created using the search function (new search experience) in ADOIT, only elements from the first level are used and visualised. Queries that include transitive searches with nested filters are supported; however, related elements are not considered. This also applies if Detailed results is enabled in the search, as dashboards always use the top-level results.
Configure Bar Chart
The Bar Chart widget represents data as bars, allowing you to compare values across categories at a glance. The length of each bar is determined by the underlying dataset and the selected aggregation method.
After adding the widget, configure it using the following options (mandatory fields are marked with *):
Title*: Enter a title for the widget.
Description: Provide a short explanation of what the chart displays.
Query*: Select a query to define the dataset for the widget. You can choose between:
Saved queries: Queries created using the search function in ADOIT. These include private queries you created and public queries.
Built-in queries: Predefined queries provided by ADOIT that represent commonly used views on models and objects.
The selected query determines which elements are included in the dataset.
Group by*: Select the property that defines the bars in the chart. You can only choose enumeration attributes or relations that are displayed as columns in the search result.
Bar size: Defines how the length of each bar is calculated. You have two main options:
Query row count (default): Each bar shows the number of entries in that group.
Aggregation: Select a numeric attribute from the search result for the Value. Bars still represent the groups (e.g., responsible persons), but their lengths now correspond to the aggregated attribute value. Choose the aggregation method Sum, Average, Min, or Max.
Set colours: Choose colours for the bars. You can select them from the colour circles or enter hex values (e.g.
#d62fd6).Show legend: Toggle to show or hide the chart legend.
Chart layout: Choose whether to display the bars vertically or horizontally.
Position of labels: If a horizontal layout is selected, choose whether labels appear inside or outside the bars.
Sort by: Define how bars are sorted. Possible values are Default, Name (ascending), Name (descending), Value (ascending), and Value (descending).
Example: Visualise Business Fitness
For example, you can create a bar chart based on a saved query for System Software that includes the Business fitness attribute as a column in the search result. When you select Business fitness under Group by and Query row count under Bar size, the bars represent each fitness value (e.g., "Bad", "Good"), and their lengths show how many System Software elements fall under this classificiation.
Once you have configured all options, click Save to apply your settings and add the bar chart to the dashboard.
Configure Gauge Chart
The Gauge Chart widget represents data as a single value displayed on a dial, helping you to quickly assess a key metric or status at a glance. It can be used either to display the value of a single artefact or to aggregate values across multiple artefacts of the same type.
After adding the widget, configure it using the following options (mandatory fields are marked with *):
Title*: Enter a title for the widget.
Description: Provide a short explanation of what the gauge chart displays.
Data source selection*: Select how the value of the gauge chart is determined. You can choose between:
Query (default): The gauge chart is based on a saved or built-in query and aggregates values across all artefacts returned by the query.
Artefact: The gauge chart is based on a single artefact selected manually.
Depending on the selected data source, different configuration options are available:
Options for Query:
Query*: Select a saved or built-in query.
Value*: Select the attribute whose values are used for the gauge calculation. You can select an enumeration attribute or a numeric attribute.
Aggregation*: Define how the values of the artefacts returned by the query are aggregated. Possible values are Average and Median.
Set colours: Define the colour of the gauge, for example by entering a hex value such as
#109D59.
Options for Artefact:
Artefact*: Select a single model or object. Selecting multiple artefacts is not supported.
Attribute*: Select an enumeration attribute or a numeric attribute whose value should be displayed on the gauge.
Set colours: Define the colour of the gauge.
Example: Visualise Application Type (Artefact Selection)
For example, if you select the Application Component "Air Traffic Control 3.1" as the artefact and the attribute Strategic importance, the gauge will display the corresponding value, such as Low, High, or Very high.
Once you have configured all options, click Save to apply your settings and add the gauge chart to the dashboard.
Configure Pie Chart
The Pie Chart widget represents data as proportional slices of a circle, allowing you to compare values as parts of a whole. Each slice represents either a category or a numerical interval, and its size reflects the number of entries or an aggregated value.
After adding the widget, configure it using the following options (mandatory fields are marked with *):
Title*: Enter a title for the widget.
Description: Provide a short explanation of what the chart displays.
Query*: Select a query to define the dataset for the widget. You can choose between:
Saved queries: Queries created using the search function in ADOIT. These include private queries you created and public queries.
Built-in queries: Predefined queries provided by ADOIT that represent commonly used views on models and objects.
The selected query determines which elements are included in the dataset.
Group by*: Select the property that defines the slices of the pie. You can choose between:
Enumeration attributes or relations that are displayed as columns in the search result.
Numeric attributes that are displayed as columns in the search result. When a numeric attribute is selected, the pie chart groups values into numerical intervals instead of categories.
Depending on which property you select under Group by, different configuration options are available:
Options for enumeration attributes or relations:
Value: Defines how the size of each slice is calculated. You have two main options:
Query row count (default): Each slice represents the number of entries in that group.
Aggregation: Select a numeric attribute from the search result for the Value. The size of each slice corresponds to the aggregated attribute value. Choose the aggregation method Sum, Average, Min, or Max.
Set colours: Choose colours for the slices. You can select them from the colour circles or enter hex values (e.g.
#5cb85c).Sort by: Define how slices are ordered. Possible values are Default, Name (ascending), Name (descending), Value (ascending), and Value (descending).
Options for numeric attributes:
Label numerical intervals: This section allows you to define how numeric values are grouped into intervals and displayed as pie slices:
By default, two intervals are defined. You can add additional intervals by clicking + Add interval.
Each interval consists of a Colour, a Label, and a numeric boundary:
The first (upper) interval defines an upper boundary using Up to, defining the slice that contains elements with values up to the specified limit.
The last (lower) interval defines a lower boundary using From, defining the slice that contains elements with values greater than or equal to the specified limit.
Any additional intervals added between the first and last use Up to to define their upper boundary.
Example: Visualise Responsible Business Actors (Relation)
For example, you can create a pie chart based on a saved query for Business Processes that includes the Responsible business actors relation as a column in the search result. When you select Responsible business actors under Group by and Query row count under Value, each slice of the pie represents a responsible business actor, and its size shows how many business processes each business actor is responsible for.
Once you have configured all options, click Save to apply your settings and add the pie chart to the dashboard.
Configure Table
The Table widget displays data in a structured, tabular format. Each row represents a model or object returned by a query, and each column corresponds to a property included in that search result.
This widget is ideal for showing detailed information at a glance, such as lists of risks, processes, or applications with key attributes like owner, status, or value.
After adding the widget, configure it using the following options (mandatory fields are marked with *):
Title*: Enter a title for the widget.
Description: Provide a short explanation of what the table displays.
Query*: Select a query to define the dataset for the widget. You can choose between:
Saved queries: Queries created using the search function in ADOIT. These include private queries you created and public queries.
Built-in queries: Predefined queries provided by ADOIT that represent commonly used views on models and objects.
The selected query determines which elements are included in the dataset.
Example: Display a List of Capabilities
For example, you can create a table widget based on a saved query for Capabilities that includes the Business fitness, Process fitness, and Technological fitness properties as columns. Each row in the table represents a single capability, while the columns show the corresponding values, allowing you to compare and review information at a glance.
Once you have configured all options, click Save to apply your settings and add the table to the dashboard.
Configure Text
The Text widget allows you to display arbitrary text on your dashboard. It is useful for notes, instructions, or additional explanations related to other dashboard widgets.
After adding the widget, configure it using the following options (mandatory fields are marked with *):
Title*: Enter a title for the widget.
Description: Provide a short explanation of what the text represents or its purpose.
Text*: Enter the text content to be displayed. You can apply formatting and change the font family, font size, text colour, or make the text bold, italic, etc.
Example: Explain a Chart Widget
You can use a text widget to provide context or explanation for a nearby chart. For instance, place a text widget next to a pie chart showing the distribution of process responsibilities, and enter a short note describing how to interpret the chart slices, what each category represents, or key insights users should notice.
Once you have configured all options, click Save to apply your settings and add the text widget to the dashboard.
Configure Image
The Image widget allows you to display an image on your dashboard. This is useful for logos, illustrations, or any visual content that supports the context of other dashboard widgets.
After adding the widget, configure it using the following options (mandatory fields are marked with *):
Title*: Enter a title for the widget.
Description: Provide a short explanation of the image’s purpose or context.
Image*: Click + Choose and select the image you want to upload. You can also drag a file from your computer to the Drag and drop files here to upload area.

For instance, you can add your company logo as an image widget at the top of your dashboard to provide branding.
Once you have configured all options, click Save to apply your settings and add the image to the dashboard.
Configure Number
The Number widget highlights a single numeric value on your dashboard. It is ideal for displaying key figures such as the number of processes, applications, or risks matching a query.
After adding the widget, configure it using the following options (mandatory fields are marked with *):
Title*: Enter a title for the widget.
Description: Provide a short explanation of what the widget displays.
Query*: Select a query to define the dataset for the widget. You can choose between:
Saved queries: Queries created using the search function in ADOIT. These include private queries you created and public queries.
Built-in queries: Predefined queries provided by ADOIT that represent commonly used views on models and objects.
The selected query determines which elements are included in the dataset.
Value: Defines what the widget displays. You have two main options:
Query row count (default): The widget shows the total number of search results.
Aggregation: Choose a numeric attribute from the search result to display an aggregated value (for example, the total or average cost). Choose the aggregation method Sum, Average, Min, or Max.
Set colours: Define the colour in which the number is displayed. You can enter a hex value (e.g.
#007bff).
Example: Show the Total Number of Draft Application Components
For example, you can create a number widget based on a saved query for Application Components. The
widget then displays the total number of application components. To make it visually stand out, you
can set the number colour to green (#5cb85c).
Once you have configured all options, click Save to apply your settings and add the number widget to the dashboard.
Use News
The News widget provides a detailed overview of the most recent changes in models and objects in the database in a tabular view. It helps you stay informed about created, updated, or released content.
