Managing Widgets¶
Each widget follows some basic conventions for controlling its position, size, settings, and so on, the mechanics of which are covered here in this section.
Adding and Removing Widgets¶
To start adding widgets, click the button in the Dashboard controls
area of the breadcrumb bar to display the list of available widgets. See
Dashboard Controls in the Breadcrumb Bar.

Dashboard Controls in the Breadcrumb Bar¶
Inside the Available Widgets panel, click on the name of a widget to add it to the Dashboard (See Available Widgets List). The dashboard will reload with the new widget displayed in one of its columns.

Available Widgets List¶
To close and remove a widget from the Dashboard, click the
button in its title bar, as seen in Figure Widget Title Bar, then
click
in the dashboard controls.

Rearranging Widgets¶
Widgets can be rearranged and moved between columns. To move a widget, click and
drag its title bar (Figure Widget Title Bar), move the mouse to the
desired position, and then release. As the widget is moved it will “snap” into
its new position, so the new location may be previewed before releasing the
mouse button. After positioning a widget, click in the dashboard
controls (Dashboard Controls in the Breadcrumb Bar).
Minimizing Widgets¶
To minimize a widget so it hides its content and only shows up as its title bar,
click the button in its title bar, as seen in Figure
Widget Title Bar. To restore the widget to its normal display,
click the
button. After changing the widget status,
click
in the dashboard controls
(Dashboard Controls in the Breadcrumb Bar).
Changing Widget Settings¶
Some widgets have customizable settings that control how their content is
displayed or updated. If a widget has settings, the
button will show up in its title bar as seen in Figure
Widget Title Bar. Click that button and the settings for the
widget will appear. Once the settings have been adjusted, click the Save
button inside of the widget settings panel.
