Displaying data in a data selection gadget
A data selection gadget displays values from a data object’s data cube or data set. You can select a data set or data cube from data objects already used on your dashboards, or add a new data object. For more information about selecting data objects, see
Selecting a data object to display, earlier in this section.
Adding a data selection gadget to a dashboard or editing it displays Data Selector Gadget Wizard—Data, as shown in
Figure 4‑108.

The display field can be different from the field in the data selection gadget when using data from a data set. For example, a list of customer names displays in a list gadget, but when a user selects one of the names, the data published by the list gadget is something different, such as the phone number or customer number of the selected customer. You can also sort data displayed in data selection gadgets.
Calendar and slider gadgets include the Binding option. Use this option to display pre‑selected values instead of values from a BIRT data object.
Figure 4‑109 shows the additional data options for a calendar and slider gadget.

Filtering a gadget data source, earlier in this section.
