Filter widgets types
Hi all, Trying to figure out how to filter widgets based on their types. For example, let's say we have 50 dashboards where each has 7 widgets. Question is is there a way to filter out based on the ...

Maybe try exporting all the dashboards as ".dash" files? These can be examined/edited in any plaintext editor like Notepad++, so presumably you could do a control-F (find) for the widget types in question. The challenge would be doing this in a timely manner. If you're using Notepad++, you could try opening all of the dash files at the same time, then using the "Find All in All Opened Documents" option, but this might not be very feasible if you have a ton of dash files. Aside from that, though, I'm not sure of an expedient way to search them all quickly; worse case, you'd have to check each file individually, but if you're doing that then you might as well just open each dashboard one-by-one directly in Sisense 😛
Hi Jake_Raz ,
Thank you for your input. Have started doing it the way you proposed while in parallel looking into the suggestion on retrieving the widgets types by API.
hey martinangelov ,
I’m sharing the information provided by the CSM to summarize the suggested solution.
The recommended API endpoint is 1.0 GET/dashboards/{
dashboardId}/widgets. This endpoint provides details on each widget, including the widget type, for the specifieddashboardIdProposed Script Solution Workflow:
- Generate a list of all
dashboardId. - Specify the fields to retrieve in the API call:
oid,title,type, andsubtype. - Execute a GET request for each
dashboardIdin the list. - Export the resulting data into a CSV file.
Example Output
Best Regards
- Generate a list of all
