Widgets

Widgets are windows on the Dashboard that allow the user to perform a function, monitor the progress of a function, or to view data. widgets can be added to the Dashboard, removed, configured, modified, refreshed, moved, and sized. The Dashboard can contain more than one widget at a time.

Reports are similar to widgets, in that they provide all the same functionality, but reports appear in their own tab, not on the Dashboard. Unlike widgets, the contents of Reports cannot be configured by the user. The selection of Reports available depends on the configuration of the EnterWorks system.

Note that the content of widgets and reports do not auto-refresh. The user must refresh a widget to update the data it displays. To refresh the contents of a widget, click the Refresh icon on the upper right of a widget’s Activity Bar.

Some widgets need to access a lot of data when they are refreshed, therefore, it may take a while to refresh them. Having too many data-heavy widgets open at a time may slow system performance.
