Hi Imar,

There is (sadly) not alot of documentation for the dashboards (yet). It is planned for documentation.

Yes, you can create your own dashboard widget - that is actually going to be a talk for summit. All the current dashboards in DW9 are provider-based, so taking a look at them should get you started. Fx. ChartWidget:

[AddInName("Latest visits")]
[AddInDescription("Show the latest visits in the solution")]
[AddInIcon(KnownIcon.ViewStream)]
public class LatestVisitsWidget : ListWidget
{
    public LatestVisitsWidget()
    {
        Title = Translate.Translate("Latest visits");
    }

    public override IEnumerable<ListViewItem> GetItems(IDashboard dashboard, string path)
    {
        var pageService = ServiceLocator.Current.GetPageService();
        var result = new List<ListViewItem>();
        int maxCount = 6;
        var cb = CommandBuilder.Create($"SELECT TOP {maxCount} * FROM [Statv2Session] WHERE [Statv2SessionIsLead] IS NULL ORDER BY [Statv2SessionTimestampEnd] DESC");
        [...]
        return result;
    }
}

I hope this will satisfy you for now. There will be more at Summit! :)
