How is the source usage calculated?
In DashThis, a source is counted as used as soon as it is added to a dashboard. Even if no widget is currently using it, the source still counts as used as long as it remains in that dashboard.
When is a source counted?
A source is counted as used when:
-
It is added to at least one dashboard
As soon as a source is present in a dashboard, it becomes used — even if it isn’t linked to any widget yet.
When is a source NOT counted?
A source is not counted as used when:
-
It is connected to your account but not added to any dashboard
- It was previously added to a dashboard, but it has since been removed from all dashboards
Example
-
You connect a Google Analytics 4 property → not counted yet
-
You add that GA4 property to a dashboard → 1 source used
-
You don’t add any widget yet → still 1 source used (because it’s in the dashboard)
- You use the same source in multiple widgets or dashboards → still 1 source used
- You remove the source from all dashboards → not counted anymore
