# Custom Widget Operations

In this article, we will take a comprehensive look into the steps involved to add a Custom Widget into an Analytics Dashboard.

You can add custom widgets to both the Home (Analytics) Dashboard (default dashboard) and Custom Dashboards.

Follow the steps as shown below, to add a new custom widget to the dashboard. To understand the process better, we will show an example of adding the **'biztalkmsgboxdb' (artifact)** custom widget into the **Analytics Home Dashboard.**

- Log in to BizTalk360
- On the Analytics Home screen, click **Add Widget**
- You will notice the **Add Widget** blade on the right-hand side of the screen. Click the **'Add New Widget'** option at the bottom of the Add Widget blade
