Sisense’s BloX lets you create dynamic, rich widgets that can turn your dashboard into an interactive business app. BloX are JSON objects rendered as HTML inside widgets on your dashboard. The idea behind Sisense BloX is to allow you to create dynamic and interactive content in your widgets, thus allowing you to gather insights and take immediate action from within your widget or dashboard. For example, you can create widgets that visualize an important KPI, while also displaying buttons that allow you to push a webhook to take an action you define.
Sisense BloX offers much more than just a customizable design. With Sisense BloX, you can:
- Add images to your widget
- Embed iFrames
- Add custom scripts
- Organize your content in containers and columns
- Add multiple types of actions
- Collect input from your users
