    Tokens are like variables/properties that you can assign to the dashboard or dashboard group letting you more easily template dashboards, cloning them across multiple customers for example.

Ahhh… I just added that first one from the resource (Top 10 Clusters by CPU Utilization (1 day) to the same customer dashboard, and that works. I then tweaked the new widget to look like the one in my OP and it still works.
