Widgets enable you to quickly access and update information, including tasks, web sites, and custom objects.

About Widgets

Widgets are small windows available on a Home Page that let you view selected information. There are various types of widgets:

View

  • View-based widgets display data rows from the View you select
  • Choose the number of rows to display: 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100

Report

  • Report-based widgets display Charts, Table Data or both from the Report you select.
  • Choose the number of rows to display: 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100.
  • In the widget banner, click the document icon (DocumentIcon.png) to view the underlying report.

HTML

Add any HTML code for a fully custom widget.
Note: The one exception is a <form> tag.
Behind the scenes, the dashboard is one big form that submits a widget's new position to the server when you move it.
That way, the position is recorded for the next time you visit.
Since nested <form> tags do not work in HTML browsers, you can use any HTML except a <form> tag.
Enable HTML Sanitization

When this option is selected, it prevents XSS attacks by allowing you to use only the HTML tags and attributes listed in the table. When this option is not selected, all the HTML tags and attributes are allowed and XSS attacks are not prevented.

Working with Widgets

The Add Widget option allows you to customize your Home Page. To add a widget:

  1. Click the Add Widgets link.
