Widgets

Widgets are no code blocks you place on your notebooks that allow everyone to interact with your model locally. They also help you establish a place for inputting data and updating your own notebooks.

Input Widget​

Input widgets are the best way for you to designate a single data point that anyone can edit. This type of definition differs from variables since they can be changed locally by anyone reading your notebook model.

Adding input widgets​

  1. Type / on any paragraph and select Input;
  2. Define a name for the newly created widget. You can also pick a custom color and icon by clicking on the pencil icon;
  3. Finally, you can use this data point on your model and calculations by simply using its name as a normal variable.

Exploring notebooks with input widgets​

  1. Access this example Notebook: Simple Cashflow
  2. Update the InitialInvestment input widget from 100£ to 200£;
  3. Check how the loan amount that you need to quick-start your business changes from 500£ to 400£ at the end of the notebook;

Slider Widget​

Experimental Feature

Slider Widgets are currently being developed.

When working with data and numbers, most often we want to explore a wide range of options and visualize how they affect a model. You can achieve this with a slider widget.

Adding slider widgets​

  1. Type / on any paragraph and select Slider;
  2. Define a name and optionally pick a color and an icon by clicking on the pencil icon.
  3. Adapt its range to fit your needs by clicking on the "..." button to access the configuration menu;
  4. Connect this widget to your calculation with its name as a normal variable;

When you use the slider on your models, everyone will be able to play around with the slider range and experience its effects on the notebook.
