## What’s a changes widget

The changes widget visualizes how the total amount in each forecast category changed over a selected period for a selected line of business. The chart shows the reason for the change, such as deals pushed out to future periods, amount decrease/increase, and deals that ended up being closed-lost.

Learn more about changes reports [here](/v1/docs/analyze-forecast-category-changes).

2. In the dashboard header, click ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/2837c190-3ec8-4120-9116-6d427e774667/Images/Documentation/pencil_DS.png) to rename your widget and, optionally, **+ Add description**.
3. Under **Line of business**, select the line of business for the widget.
4. Under **Forecast**, select the default forecast category to include in the widget. If you want viewers to not be able to change this selection, uncheck **Add dropdown to widget**.
5. Under **Changes tracked**, select the time interval for the tracked changes.
6. Under **Select team and period**, you’ll notice the team member and date fields are set to be dynamic and respond to whatever is selected in your dashboard. You can change them to fixed values.

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> If you select fixed values for the team member and period, the widget would no longer respond to selections made on the dashboard level.
7. Play with the preview option on the right. You can click the **Pre-changes** and **Post-changes**bars to drill into the deals behind the changes, giving you a deeper understanding of how and why your pipeline moved.
