Displaying Gadgets

The look-and-feel of gadgets has been adjusted to reduce the "blocky" nature of previous dashboard layouts and minimize the amount of screen clutter.

With the exception of the gadget body, which contains the data contents of the gadget, gadgets are now transparent and border-free.  By removing borders and opaque backgrounds, the dashboard looks less like a web portal or newspaper layout, and more like a robust document or report.  When stacking gadgets, it also ensures that the minimum area is obscured.

Moving Gadgets

Gadgets can be placed anywhere on the dashboard, independent of any invisible columns, rows, or grids.

...

  • Turn "Edit Mode" On/Off
    Enables or disables the ability to change the layout of the gadgets in the dashboard.  See Edit Mode below.

Edit Mode

By default, a dashboard is in "View Mode."  "View Mode" does not allow you to make any changes to your dashboard or its gadgets, and only certain gadget functionality is enabled:

  • Minimize
  • Gadget-specific toolbar options
  • Print / Export
    Launches the browser's print functionality so the active dashboard can be printed or saved as a PDF.
  • Share
    Shares the active dashboard with another Supercruncher user on a read-only basis.  The dashboard will appear in the other user's dashboard list, but the other user will be unable to edit it.
  • Add Content
    Displays a list of all available gadgets that can be added to the dashboard, and allows the user to select which should be added to the dashboard.
  • Rename Dashboard
    Changes the display name of the active dashboard.
  • Set Current Dashboard as Default
    Moves the active dashboard to the top of your dashboard list, making it the default.
  • Delete Dashboard
    Removes the active dashboard from your list and the list of anyone with whom you have shared it.

Edit Mode

"Edit Mode" is a setting that allows the user to rearrange and reconfigure the gadgets on a dashboard.
