Widgets are self-contained, HTML-based representations
of software components. The content palette displays the widgets that
are available for you to use in the Home page.
You can access the following types of widget from the content palette:
- IBM® Connections widgets. The widgets available from
the content palette include widgets for the IBM Connections
applications that you have installed. Use these widgets to display a snapshot view of the latest
updates for each application. The content palette also contains social analytics widgets if your
administrator has made them available. These widgets use information
from the different IBM Connections applications to recommend
content that might be relevant to you.
- Third-party widgets. When your administrator has enabled the use of widgets or OpenSocial
gadgets from another vendor, these are displayed in the content palette along with the IBM Connections widgets that are available for use.
You can access the content palette from any of the Home page views
by clicking
Customize.
Note: For the widgets
in all the IBM Connections applications
to load properly in Microsoft Internet
Explorer, ActiveX Controls must be enabled on the Security tab.
