What you should see

The widget appears in position. For an existing dashboard or one associated with a test composition, an added widget inherits the result selection in effect for that dashboard.
- If the dashboard already has a result selection or a time range controller, the widget will inherit them.
- If there is no relevant information for the given selection, ““No Result Selected”” is shown.
- If no selection exists, the prompt to “Select a result or specify a time range controller” appears.
- Result selection persists between sessions and remains in effect the next time the user logs in.
