Configuring a Counter widget
A Counter widget displays values and trends of numeric data. A Counter widget contains one or more tiles, each of which displays a single value/trend pair.
You specify properties of a new Counter widget or modify properties of an existing widget of this type using the Counter Widget Properties window (see below for details).
