Each Measure dashboard can be filled with the widgets of your choice. They bring together any metric, channel, and display method that you set. There are a few categories of widgets, with many metrics available under them. In this article, you can find a thorough explanation of each of them.
All widgets have the following general characteristics:
- Each dashboard consists of four columns and nearly limitless rows. Widgets support different sizes so they can either fit one column and row or span multiple.
- All widgets, except for the Time Series type, can display metrics as either total or average numbers.

Label Performance
The Label Performance widget will group all of your content metrics by the Publish label used on the post, allowing you to get deeper insights for specific campaigns, products/services, markets/regions, or types of posts based on how you have utilized your Publish labels. After selecting which channels to include, you can choose from a long list of content metrics, including paid metrics, to customize your widget. (By default, the Label Performance Dashboard template will display the number of posts under each label for a specified time period, along with the Impressions, Reach Average, Engagements, Engagement Rate, Reactions, and Comments for those labeled posts).
Note:
At this time, the Label Performance widget only supports Publish labels.
The Label Performance widget supports all of the same content metrics and filters available in the Content Performance widget. Filters are applied to posts that have labels.
Note:
Any posts without a label will be grouped in a Posts without label row. For unlabeled posts, you can see the number and the percentage of posts created in the selected period, along with their combined post metrics. To filter out unlabeled posts from your widget, add a label filter in the widget with the option Containing any label.
Within the widget, you can click on any label to open a content performance view containing all of the content metrics for the posts under that label, giving you a snapshot of the performance for each post.
Bubble view
Using the Change widget's view icon, you can toggle the Label Performance widget between List view and Bubble view. Bubble view displays a bubble cloud chart of the label performance data, showing a visual representation how your various labels performed. Using the metrics dropdown, you can select which metric to compare your labels by in Bubble view. The metrics available in the dropdown will be whichever metrics you selected to include when setting up the Label Performance widget.
Paid labelled performance
The Paid Labelled Performance widget is available by default in the Paid Performance dashboard and includes the number of posts with the label, the paid impressions, amount spent, the paid engagements, cost per engagement, paid link clicks, and total conversions. For a full list of the available paid metrics you can use to customize the widget, please refer to the paid Facebook content metrics in our List of Measure Metrics by Network.
