Basic Widget Descriptions

Some basic widgets will have essentially the same contents for all users (Company Message and Recently Published Documents), while others will show information specific to the currently logged in user (My Tasks, My Favorite Documents, and My Recently Accessed Documents). The structure and content of all basic widgets for a personal dashboard are preset and cannot be modified.

My Tasks: Shows the percentage of the your assigned tasks for the past year that have been completed.

Company Message: Contains a message created by the administrator.

Important: The Company Message widget option in the Basic Widgets menu will be called whatever the administrator entered as the widget's title, such as Save the date! in the widget shown below.

My Favorite Documents: Lists the first six documents alphabetically that you have marked as favorites. You can click a title to open a document. If you have more than six favorites, a View All Favorite Documents link is available.

My Recently Accessed Documents: Lists the last six documents you've opened. You can click a document title to reopen it.

Recently Published Documents: Lists the last 25 documents that have been approved and published. You see only those documents you currently have access to by virtue of your assigned roles and permissions and each document's settings.
