How to Use Widgets in Camphouse
Widgets enable users to track progress across Targets, Planning and Results, providing a clear snapshot of performance at a glance.
What are widgets used for?
The most common use case for widgets is to track planned spend against your budget. This is particularly useful for planners working at the media plan level.
For example, you can set up a widget to compare:
Planned Spend (Planning dataset)
Planned Spend (Targets dataset)
As you add entries to your media plan, the widget updates in real time, showing how much of the budget has already been allocated.
Where are widgets displayed?
There are three separate sets of widgets, and they do not mix:
Widgets on the Hub Page
Widgets in Media Overview, including Sheet View, Calendar View, and Production Plan
Widgets in Results
A widget only appears in the location where it was created. To have the same widget in more than one location, create it once in each.
Within each set, widgets are displayed across all levels of your organization, parent and subsidiary alike.
⚠️ If all subsidiaries control their own media types, the parent organization will not be able to create widgets for them.
Create and Modify a Widget
⚠ Only Global Admins can create and edit widgets. Local Admins can see widgets but will not see the pen icon used to add or edit them.
Widgets can be created from the Hub Page, from anywhere within Media Overview, or in Results. Where you create the widget decides where it appears, so check you are on the right page before you start.
⚠️ Where you create a widget decides where it appears. A widget created on the Hub Page appears on the Hub Page only, a widget created in Media Overview appears in Media Overview only (including Sheet View, Calendar View and Production Plan), and a widget created in Results appears in Results only.
Within that location, the widget is visible across all plans, subsidiaries and the parent account, so keep widget configurations broad and avoid setting them up in a way that only makes sense for a specific plan or subsidiary.
To create a widget, follow these steps:
Access the Widget Editor: Navigate to the Hub Page or Media Overview.
Click on the pen icon located in the top right of your screen, below the pink contextual menu.Open the Widget Editor: Click on the "+" symbol that appears on the left side of the screen to open the widget editor.
Choose Measures: Select a measure in "Measure 1" to display a single figure, choose which dataset the number should be fetched from. To compare figures, choose measures and datasets for both "Measure 1" and "Measure 2".
Configure Chart Display: Toggle 'with grain' in the top left corner to create a chart that displays the values over time.
Finalize and Create Widget: Confirm and create your widget by selecting 'Create Widget'
💡 When grain is selected, the grain displayed matches the date range selected in the main filter.
Edit widget
⚠️ Editing, deleting, or changing the order of a widget will be reflected across all plans, subsidiaries and the parent account. Hub Page, Media Overview and Results widgets are separate sets, so a change in one does not affect the others.
To edit a widget, follow these steps:
Access Widget Options: Click on the three dots located in the top left corner of the widget.
Two options will be displayed: 'Edit' and 'Delete'. Select 'Edit' to open the Widget editor.
Make Changes: Modify the widget as needed within the editor.
Update Widget: After making the necessary changes, click on 'Create widget' to update and save your modifications.
Change the order of widgets
Widgets can be moved by dragging and dropping to a new position.
Hide and show widgets
Users can hide Widgets by selecting the arrow up 🔼 to hide widgets and arrow down 🔽 to reopen them.
Delete widget
Access Widget Options: Click on the three dots located in the top left corner of the widget.
Two options will be displayed: 'Edit' and 'Delete'. Select 'Delete' and 'Confirm delete'.
Widget will be deleted.
I added a widget but I cannot find it
Check which page you added it on. Widgets on the Hub Page, widgets in Media Overview and widgets in Results are three separate sets, so a widget only appears on the page type where it was created.
Go back to that page to find it, or create another copy elsewhere if you want the widget in more than one location.
