Widget Management

Widget Management

The Widget Management feature allows users to build and customize dashboards tailored to their specific needs. Widgets can be either System Widgets provided by IQnext, or Custom Widgets created by users with the appropriate permissions. This supports a modular and highly flexible dashboard experience.

Types of Widgets

1. System Widgets

These are predefined widgets available in the Widget Library. They offer essential system metrics and are consistent across all user dashboards. These widgets cannot be structurally edited or deleted but may support layout configurations like placement and size.
