Overview

Code widgets are custom UI objects, designed to allow users to bring external app experiences into presentations and create re-usable low code/no code widgets for other presentation authors. KPI Studio includes some out-of-the-box code widgets and action buttons, which are both explained in this section.

Code widget examples

The following types of code widgets are available. See the table below for a description of each, and the sections following the table for further information.

Video widget

This widget provides an easy way to add videos to dashboards and presentations using a URL as a video source. The video widget can be used to share videos from popular video platforms including YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo and TED (Talks).

Add a video to a dashboard

In dashboard preview and publish modes, all videos can be viewed like any embedded video.

In dashboard edit mode, videos cannot be viewed, and videos from Vimeo and TED won’t display a custom preview image.
