Secondary Data Sources dialog box

You can provide additional data for a custom widget in a document, by selecting Grid/Graphs in the Secondary Data Sources dialog box.

Custom widgets can be created using the MicroStrategy SDK. To create custom widgets in MicroStrategy Web, you must own a MicroStrategy SDK license. For information, contact your Account Executive or email MicroStrategy directly at info@microstrategy.com.

Certain custom widgets are also included out of the box with the MicroStrategy SDK. For more information about custom widgets and their use, see the MicroStrategy SDK documentation.
