Configuring the Authorship widget
The Authorship widget provides reports into your published assets' popularity and fills a reporting niche that is not easily met by historical reporting capabilities. This reporting is enabled through a new Group By report type, that enables an administrator to group results by one or two fields. The Authorship widget allows you to select which category to group your report by and to select between Brightspot Analytics or Google Analytics as the data supplier.

- Create or open a shared of one-off dashboard that includes the Authorship widget. For details, see Editing a shared dashboard.
- Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
- Click Save.
