Adding a Description Widget
A description widget can include text, links to other dashboards, and HTML elements. For example, a description widget might be used to provide information about other widgets on the dashboard, contain links to other dashboards in the same or different groups, or use HTML elements to include a table combining the descriptions with the links.
Description widgets contain plain text or HTML syntax.
To add a description widget, do the following:
- Drag the description widget to the Build Dashboard area.
- Click
(gear) on the widget to edit the settings. - Enter a title for the widget. This title is displayed on the dashboard.
- Enter the text for the widget. Text can be added using the Formatted editor tab and the Raw editor tab. The Formatted editor includes a formatting toolbar. The Raw editor uses HTML elements such as<table>...</table>and<ul>...</ul>. The editors can be used interchangeably.When adding HTML syntax, you must enter the syntax as a single line. The HTML elements determine the line breaks, table spacing, styles, and so on.
