Website Gadget

To add a new website gadget:

  1. Click Web Site from the Gadget Wizard.
  2. Type or paste the web address. Use the format http(s)://www.website.com.
    Alternatively, select a content block, which has been predefined by the system administrator.
    Not all web sites are compatible with this gadget, for example, web sites which do not allow themselves to be embedded in other pages. An error message is displayed once the gadget is on the dashboard.

  4. Add a name and description for the gadget.
  5. Click Finish.

The Web Site gadget can display a static URL. To define a static URL in the Web Site gadget, the URL must begin with the text #crm_server#. The actual HTML files must be placed in a folder off the WWWRoot folder. A system administrator with access to this folder can help you do this.
