1. Introduction

This tutorial guides you through the functionality of custom datasets in the Explore element. Use custom datasets to visualize data in your Widget in addition to the data fetched from your Datastreams.

Achieve the following goals with custom datasets:

• Add a metric and assign it a value.
• Add a metric and dimension and assign it a value.
• Add a target value or a benchmark. Display a horizontal line in your widget so that you can visually compare all data in the widget against a target value or a benchmark.
