## What’s a trends widget

The trends widget visualizes how accurate your forecast is over a selected period for the selected line of business. It displays your forecast data alongside the coverage and projections for different forecast categories, so that you can compare your actual pipeline to your forecast submissions.

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 the widget is based on.
4. Under **Pipeline WoW**, select how to break down the data, either by forecast category or pipeline stage.
5. 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**.
6. Under **Projection**, select the period on which projection is based.
7. 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.
8. Validate the preview and save:
  - The stacked bars show the value of all deals in the selected category per week. They’re stacked in the order they’re defined in the line of business.
  - The red line indicates the forecast projection, the orange one - the forecast submissions of the team under the selected manager, and the purple one - the forecast submissions of the selected manager.
  - You can uncheck any of the legend categories on the chart and save the widget, viewers will be able to add them as they prefer.
9. When you’re happy with the **Preview** result on the right, click **Save**.
