Widget Settings

Each option is self explanatory, the colours and settings for the chart are derived from the main admin page unless you have specified it at the widget level.

Widget Example

Widget Form

The settings are fairly self explanatory, three to bear in mind are “Allow user to specify date”, “Hide Measurements” and “Hide Photos”. The first, allows you to show or hide a date picker.

Below are examples with the picker enabled and disabled:
