Blue Home widgets and layout

Widgets and layout

Blue home is split into two distinct sides. There is the left side and the right side. The widgets are designed for either a specific side and cannot move between sides. Customize which widgets are displayed on the page and drag and drop them to a new vertical position on the page. Widgets can be added by clicking on the Add Widget link at the bottom of each column.

Left side widgets

These are the widgets that only appear in the left side bar:

Profile - This widget, located in the upper left of the home page by default. The background image can be changed and your users will be able to upload a profile picture, update their profile bio, and change their display name if these options are enabled by the administrator. Alternatively, this widget can be removed from the home page entirely.

Bookmarks - The bookmarks widget displays a number of most recently created bookmarks that the user can save. Users can save specific tasks and specific reports as bookmarks that they can later revisit. When you add the bookmark widget to the home page you are able to enter the number of bookmarks that the widget will display.
