The Indicator widget is one of the widget types that can be added to Dashboards. It counts (a subset of) the number of elements of a specific type, summarizes the values of one of their properties, or takes the average of the values of one of their properties. For example, the number of ‘failed’ tests or the sum of all category III risks.
