In the Widget Manager, you can add, delete, share and update chart and filter widgets. To access the Widget Manager, first you need to be in Admin. The Widget Manager icon  is located on the top right side of the screen underneath 'Dashboard' (Shown in the picture below)

Note that the announcement predefined widget on the home page cannot be deleted (Shown in the picture below)



What it is:What it does:
Add

-Select widgets shared by other users with the same admin role to
add to the home page

Add, delete, share and update chart and filter widgets
Refresh

-Refreshes all widgets on the page
-Page needs to be refreshes when a new widget is created in order for the change to display 


**The only modification that can be done in Widget Manager is the name and the chart type, all other changes must be made by either deleting and creating new (charts) or modifying the filter query (filter)



What can be done in the Widget Manager:

Note that you can only change or update the widgets that you created 

  1. Add a blank widget container ( filter can later be added ) 
    *If you add a widget from Widget Manager, it creates an empty frame, you must go into a module and select the query and then add to the frame in order for data to display in that widget

    To Add a blank filter widget:
    1. Choose the filter widget type.
    2. Name the new widget.
    3. Select Next and then Finish.
    4. The widget is now added in the Widget Manager and filters can be added to it when you make a filter widget.

  2. Share/Disable Sharing of a widget with administrators with the same admin “Role” 
    Widgets may only be shared to other administrators who belongs to the same Admin Role. 

    An example of how role sharing works:
    Scenario: A system is set up with three different administrator roles
    Roles -Full Administrator
    -Project Manager
    -HR
    A "Project Manager" administrator creates and shares a widget. This widget will only be available to other Project Manager admins. The "Full Administrator" and "HR" admin will not see the shared widget for this case.

  3. Permanently Delete a chart or filter widget
