# Add a Widget to a Report

Add widgets to reports in Cortex XSOAR 6.12.

You can add a widget to an existing or a new report.

1. Create or edit a report.
2. When editing a report, click **Add Widget**.
3. In the **Widgets Library** section, search for the widget you want to add and click **Add**.
4. To edit the widget, select the Settings wheel → **Edit Widget**.
5. To edit the widget follow the procedure in [Create a Widget using the Widget Builder](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.12/configure-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/widgets/create-a-widget-using-the-widget-builder.md).

   When editing the widget in the dashboard, the widget changes when used in the report only. If you want to make changes that are available for other users, or dashboards, reports, etc., edit the widget from the **Widget Library**.
6. Click **Save**.

   By default, a widget inherits the date range that you specify when creating the widget. If the date range for the report or dashboard does not include the widget date range, the data is blank. To change the widget’s date range, click the gear icon and select **Use Widget’s date range** or **Use Dashboard’s date range**. By default, the dashboard’s date range is used and the option in the dropdown shows as **Use Widget’s date range**. If you change this to use the widget’s date range, the dropdown then shows the option to **Use Dashboard’s date range**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.12/configure-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/reports/add-a-widget-to-a-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
