# Widgets This page discusses both out-of-the-box and custom widgets used to visualize information in Squirro dashboards. ## Introduction Widgets are an important part of Squirro Dashboards, which represent the primary user interfaces for end users. Squirro includes many out-of-the-box widgets, though you can also create your own custom widgets. Widgets are frontend components built using the React library. ## Out-of-the-Box Widgets Widgets are powerful tools for visualizing project data and customizing the end-user experience. By default, the Squirro platform includes the following types of dashboard widgets: - Item widgets such as cards and item detail. - Navigation widgets such as tabs, breadcrumbs, and actions. - Filtering widgets such as search bar, time selection, and favorites. - Comparison widgets such as pie chart, word cloud, and heat map. - Geographic, special, and other widget categories. For more information on out-of-the-box Squirro widgets, see [Built-In Widgets](built-in/index.md#widgets-built-in). ## Custom Widgets See [Custom Widgets](custom-widget.md#widgets-custom) for information on creating custom widgets. ## Managing Widgets You add, configure, move, duplicate, and delete widgets from the Dashboard Editor. For more information on managing widgets in the Squirro user interface, see the [Dashboard Editor](../dashboards/dashboard-editor.md#dashboards-editor) page.
