What is the Purpose of Widgets?

• Widgets are used to display the data your Dashboard has been configured to use to End Users.

• Widgets let Administrators or Designers present content to the End User that is specifically relevant to that End User group. For example, a Designer can create a Briefing Book and accompanying widgets for all officers within the Center Team of a Police Agency.

How do Widgets Work?

• Widgets use queries defined by an Administrator or Designer to gather and display data from the database the Omega Dashboard is configured to use.

• Widgets can be created, modified or deleted within any pre-existing Briefing Book.

• You can create different types of widgets to display data to the End User in different ways.

Widgets Within Selected Briefing Book

• Clicking on a Briefing Book in the Briefing Books list will display all widgets currently created for that Briefing Book in the box on the right.

• Widgets may be searched using the Search text box. As text is entered, the Widget list is narrowed.

• The type of widget is depicted by the icon directly to the left of the Widget name.  

• The buttons to create, edit, delete or copy a Widget are located below the list.
