Understanding Calendar Widgets
Calendar type widgets are used to create calendar-based views on the dashboard. Using these widgets, the metrics of a managed entity can be displayed date-wise for a selected month, making it easier to analyze values on specific days or compare trends such as weekday versus weekend performance. In addition, the yearly calendar view enables users to visualize metric data month-wise across an entire year, helping month-to-month comparisons at a glance.
