Overview
Widget Builder lets admins (and managers, scoped to their reports) compose custom analytics widgets without writing queries. Pick an event, choose an aggregation, optionally break it down by a dimension — Juno renders a live chart you can save to your dashboards.
Widget Builder is gated by the CAN_SEE_ANALYTICS_WIDGETS_BUILDER feature flag. If you don’t see the option in Admin → Reports & Analytics, ask your admin or contact your CSM to enable it.
Use it when the standard analytics tabs (Training Analytics, Reports) don’t show the slice you need. Common examples:
- “How many enrollments per department per month?”
- “What share of budget requests come from external vs internal content?”
- “Top 10 search queries by unique users”
- “Content created per channel this quarter”
For pre-built reports, start with Reports. Drop into Widget Builder when you need a custom view.
1. Pick an event
Events are the underlying data points Juno tracks. Available events:
| Event | What it represents |
|---|
| Content created | A new course, Journey, quiz, or other unit was published |
| Internal content engagement | A user opened, played, or interacted with internal content |
| Internal content enrollment | A user enrolled in an internal unit |
| Budget request created | A user submitted a learning purchase request |
| External search | A user searched the on-demand catalog |
2. Pick an aggregation
How to count the events:
| Aggregation | What it does |
|---|
| Count | Total number of events (raw count) |
| Sum | Sum a numeric field on the event (e.g., total cost across budget requests) |
| Count of users | Distinct users who triggered the event (deduplicates by userId) |
3. Pick a breakdown (optional)
Group results by a dimension:
| Dimension | When useful |
|---|
| Type | Split by content type (course, quiz, Journey, SCORM, etc.) |
| Department | Compare across org units |
| Progress status | Started vs in-progress vs completed |
| Request status | Pending / approved / declined / fulfilled |
| Provider | External provider (Udemy, Coursera, etc.) — for catalog events |
| Search value | Free-text query (for external search events) |
4. Apply filters
Narrow the result set with filters — for example, only one department, only one date range, or only one content type. Filters compose with the breakdown.
5. Pick a chart type
| Chart | Best for |
|---|
| Bars | Comparing categories (e.g., enrollments by department) |
| Pie | Showing share of a whole (e.g., request status mix) |
6. Preview, then save
The chart updates live as you change settings. Once it looks right, click Save. The widget is added to your admin dashboard (managers see it on theirs, scoped to their reports).
Permissions and scope
| Role | What they can build | What data they see |
|---|
| Admin | Any widget across any data | Org-wide |
| Manager | Same widgets | Scoped to their direct reports only |
Saved widgets show up on the user’s Reports & Analytics dashboard, alongside the standard pre-built widgets. They behave like any other dashboard widget — hover for tooltips, click to drill in, export underlying data.
Limits
- Aggregations run against a snapshot of events; expect a short lag (typically minutes) for very recent activity to appear.
- Widgets with a breakdown across many categories (e.g., department in a 1,000-team org) cap to the top categories — adjust your filter to surface tail values.
- Date ranges default to the dashboard’s global filter; per-widget date overrides are not currently supported.
