# widget Properties

The `widgets` key defines all widgets that are available in the dashboard. It contains a separate node for each widget. Each widget appears in all layouts to which it’s added. The properties available for each widget depend on the widget type. For example, a chart widget has the `legend` property, but a text widget doesn’t.
