Market Place

Introduction

The Marketplace is a centralized hub for accessing ready-made widgets such as charts, tables, maps, KPIs, or custom visualizations created within the application and shared with other users. Widgets can be Free or Paid, enabling users to quickly enhance dashboards without building visualizations from scratch.
