Abstract

Create a custom script based widget in using a Script. Use custom widgets in dashboards and reports.

You can use custom script based widgets with a script to create dynamic widgets for more complex calculations. For examples of creating widgets using scripts, see Script Based Widgets Using Automation Scripts Examples.

Note

Cortex XSOAR supports JavaScript, Python and PowerShell.

You need to create or upload the script to the Scripts page and then you can create a widget in the Widgets Library. In the Widgets Library, you can define the arguments and change the visuals.

Note

If you upload a script to the Scripts page, the Arguments field is automatically updated. You can then define the arguments in the Widget Builder. If you create a new script (without uploading) in the Scripts page, you need to add the arguments manually for them to appear in the Widgets Library when creating or editing a widget.

    For examples how to create these widgets, see Script Based Widgets Using Automation Scripts Examples.
