How to Use Table Charts in Sparkforge Dashboard Widgets

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Edit any Sparkforge dashboard, add a widget, switch the chart type to Table, and pick the columns plus the sort column to control how the data displays.

Table charts give you a row-and-column view of dashboard data — useful when a bar or line chart hides the detail you need. Setup takes four steps.

Step 1: Add a Widget

Open the dashboard, click the edit (pencil) icon, then Add Widget.

Step 2: Choose Table Chart

Scroll to the widget you want and switch its chart type to Table.

Step 3: Configure the Widget

Click Select Columns to choose which columns appear. Open Advanced Settings to pick the column the table sorts by.

Email widgets: Source Action Name

For Email widget table charts, the Source Action Name column shows what triggered each email. When the email came from a workflow, it displays the workflow step name — handy for tracing dashboard numbers back to a specific automation step.

Step 4: Save

Click Save to lock the widget onto your dashboard.
