Note

A Note is the one widget type that shows no data. Every other widget picks a source event and runs a query to build a chart or a number. A Note skips all of that: you type some text, and the tile shows exactly what you typed.

Use it to add context to a dashboard so the numbers around it make sense to whoever is reading them.

How it works

• You add it like any other widget, with Add widget, then pick the Note type.
• There is no event, measure, breakdown, or filter to configure. A Note never queries your events, so it loads instantly and never changes on its own.
• You type your text, up to 2000 characters, and it is shown as-is.

When to use a Note

A Note is for the words around your data, not the data itself. Some common uses:

• Section headers. Drop a Note that says Onboarding above your signup and activation widgets, then another that says Revenue above your purchase charts, so a long dashboard reads in clear blocks.
• Context and captions. A short line like Numbers are for the production environment only next to a chart saves the reader from guessing.
• Caveats. Flag something the data does not show on its own, for example We started tracking checkout on 1 June, so earlier weeks look empty.

For example, a dashboard tracking a new feature launch might open with a Note that reads:

Beta launch - week 1
Tracking sign-ups and first purchases for the invited cohort.
Contact the growth team before sharing these numbers.

Everything after it is your live widgets; the Note just tells people what they are looking at.
