Plugio Metric Cards lets you build a customizable KPI dashboard inside monday.com. Add multiple metric cards — each backed by a board query — and arrange them in a drag-and-drop grid. 6 card types let you answer different questions at a glance: totals, trends, ratios, progress, distributions, and item lists.
Add the widget to your monday.com dashboard in 5 steps:
Each card represents one metric. Pick the type that best matches what you want to communicate:
Displays a metric with a sparkline chart and automatic period-over-period delta (▲ 23%). Best for spotting direction at a glance.
A single large number — no frills. Ideal for headline KPIs like "Total Customers" or "Active Projects" where the count itself is the story.
Current value vs. a target, rendered as a progress bar with a percentage badge. Target can be a fixed number or dynamically pulled from another board column.
Two metrics side by side — "A vs B" — with a tug-of-war bar showing their relative share. Great for comparing completed vs. pending, or any two filtered counts.
Breaks a metric down by a categorical column (Status, Dropdown, etc.) and visualizes the breakdown as a donut chart with a color-coded legend.
A filtered, sorted list of items from your board. Click any row to open the item directly in monday.com. Supports 6 row layout presets with Visual, Detail, and Badge slots.
The List Card supports 6 preset row layouts that can display combinations of the following data slots:
Every card is powered by real-time data from the monday.com boards connected to your dashboard. No external calls — data is fetched directly within your monday.com instance.
In the Card Config tab, select a board from the list of boards connected to your dashboard. The widget automatically loads all available columns for that board.
Choose how the widget aggregates your board data:
Each card supports fine-grained item filtering. Filters can target any of the following column types:
Multiple filters can be combined with AND or OR logic.
Metric Cards automatically responds to monday.com's native dashboard filters. When a viewer applies a filter at the dashboard level, all cards update to reflect only the matching items — no extra configuration needed.
In the Card Config, you can optionally restrict a card to one or more specific board groups, allowing multiple cards to show data from different groups of the same board side by side.
A global Period Picker at the top of the widget controls the time window for all cards. Trend cards use it to define their X-axis buckets; other card types use it to filter items by a date column and compute a previous-period delta.
Trend cards can bucket data by Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year. The sparkline reflects the chosen granularity, and the previous period is automatically calculated and shown as a comparison value below the current total.
Cards are arranged on a fixed N×M grid (configurable in the Appearance tab). In edit mode, drag any card to a different grid position. The widget prevents overlapping placements automatically.
Most card types occupy a single grid cell. List and Distribution cards default to 2 columns wide; List cards are also 2 rows tall to accommodate multiple items.
Choose between Normal (compact) and Large card heights from the Appearance tab — applied globally to all cards in the widget.
Each card has an individually assignable color that appears as a left border accent. Colors also tint certain elements within the card (progress bars, ratio fills, etc.).
Switch between Compact (14.3K, 2.1M) and Full (14,312) number display globally across all cards.
The widget adapts automatically to your monday.com dashboard theme — Light, Dark, Black, and Hacker themes are all fully supported.
No. The widget operates entirely within the monday.com platform using the monday.com Apps SDK. All data fetching and processing happens inside your monday.com instance. We never store, collect, or transmit your board data.
Count works on any board without selecting a column. Sum, Average, Min, and Max require a Numbers, Rating, or Time Tracking column.
Yes — each card can connect to a different board independently. All boards connected to your dashboard are available in the board selector.
All cards automatically update to reflect only the items matching the active dashboard filter. This works seamlessly with monday.com's native filter widgets.
Yes. View-only users see the configured cards without the Configure button. The data is fetched using their permissions, so they only see boards they have access to.
There is no hard limit — you can add as many cards as fit in your grid. The default grid is 4×4 (16 slots), which you can expand up to any size in the Appearance tab.
