Google Analytics iconGoogle announced today, four new real-time widgets that can be plugged into any new or existing Google-Analytics Dashboard, marking the first time real-time data has been possible in a dashboard widget.

Allowing users to perform many types of real-time analysis at a glance, the widgets can be combined and customized with different filters to segment and compare data side by side. Users can also set-up real-time and non real-time widgets on the same dashboard.

To set-up a Real-time widget, users click the +Add Widget menu option from the Google-Analytics dashboard.
