Working with Widgets
Users that have the Manage Global Views/Reports permission can add/delete Widgets to a home page or modify its layout. In addition, any user who creates a home page can add, delete, and modify widgets on that page.
Add Widget to this Page
The Add Widget option allows you to customize your Home Page. To add a widget:
- Click the Wrench Icon and select Add Widget to this Page:
- The Add Widget page opens
- Select the Widget Type and complete the required fields. Options will vary, depending on the type of widget selected.
Edit a Widget
- From the Home Page, navigate to an existing widget and click the Edit
icon in the heading bar. - Specify your options. (The available options depend on the type of widget.)
- Click [Save]
Move a Widget
Widgets can be moved from column to column, or moved up or down within a column. To select a widget, hover the mouse over the header bar of the widget until the mouse cursor changes, then click and drag the widget into a new position.
Minimize a Widget
You can minimize selected widgets by clicking the Minimize button, located in the widget header bar. These widgets will remain minimized during the current session, but will open again at your next login.
