Configuring Widget Settings in Reports

Customize what each widget displays in your report by adjusting its parameters.

Overview

This article explains how to configure the settings of individual widgets in the Cye Exposure Management Platform report templates. Whether you're adding a new widget or editing an existing one, you can choose exactly which parameters appear — so your report focuses on the metrics that matter most.

Widget settings are editable by the Cye Exposure Management Platform administrators only.


1. Open widget settings in a template

  • Go to My Templates and click Edit on the template you want to update

  • Select an existing widget, or click + to add a new one:

  • Click the gear icon on the widget to open its settings menu:


2. Choose what to display

In the settings panel, you’ll see a list of available parameters.
You can select or deselect options to fine-tune what the widget shows in your report.

Changes are saved automatically, so there's no need to confirm or apply.


3. Widget-specific settings examples

Each widget type has its own set of parameters you can configure. For example:

  • Exposure
    Adjust how current exposure data is presented in your report:

  • Cost of Breach
    Choose which cost categories (e.g., reputation, customer info, IP) to highlight:

  • Mitigation Success Trends
    Show time-based trends for exposure reduction and breach cost improvements:

  • Organization Maturity
    Display maturity scores across domains, subcategories, or over time:

  • Maturity by NIST Functions
    Visualize maturity across the NIST pillars (Identify, Protect, etc.):

  • Maturity Trends
    Highlight how your maturity levels have evolved over time:

You can revisit these settings anytime — even after a widget is added to the template.


Important notes

  • You can only configure widget settings in My Templates

  • Default the Cye platform templates are read-only — duplicate first if you want to make changes

  • All setting changes are saved instantly, so there’s no risk of losing your edits


Wrap-up / Next Steps

Widgets let you shape the story behind your metrics. Use the settings panel to highlight what your audience cares about most — whether it's executive-level trends or hands-on remediation progress.

Play around with the options to find the clearest, most compelling layout for your team.
