What is the default label used for data displayed in a metric widget?

The default label used for data displayed in a metric widget is the column name. This means that when you configure a metric widget to display a value, it pulls the label directly from the title of the column in the underlying data source. This automatic association helps users easily understand what the displayed value represents based on the familiar context of the column name.

Furthermore, using the column name as the label provides clarity for users, as it directly correlates with the data they are working with in Smartsheet. This consistency ensures that viewers can immediately connect the displayed metric to its source, ultimately leading to more informed decision-making.

The other options reflect concepts related to data visualization but do not represent the default labeling method. For instance, "metric value" is a descriptive term that explains what the value is, but it does not denote the specific label used in this context. "Value label" could imply various formats or representations of values, while "data point" refers to individual pieces of information without specifying how they are labeled within the widget.
