Widgets: Overview, customize & areas of use

What are widgets?

Widgets are display elements that present relevant information to you in a compact form. Depending on the area (Home, Portfolio, Project), different widgets are available, which you can show or hide as needed. With widgets, you can customize your view so that you see exactly the information you need at any given time.

Where can I find widgets?

You will encounter widgets in several places in smenso:

• Home: Your personal area where you can place widgets for different topics (e.g. favorite projects or tasks due soon).
• Projects (Portfolio) > Analysis: In the Analysis tab, several widgets are offered for cross-project evaluations.
• Project > Overview: In the project overview, relevant project information is displayed in various widgets.
• Project > Status: In the project menu Status, status information is displayed in status widgets.

Show, hide, and arrange widgets

• Open Customize (top right) in the respective area.
• The menu shows both displayed and available widgets.
• Check the widgets you want to add, or remove the check to hide widgets.
• As soon as you add widgets, the view is arranged in a tile structure where you can place widgets as you like.
• You can adjust the size of widgets: Depending on the widget, you can resize them using the arrow icon at the bottom right.
• Via the three-dot menu in each widget, you can—depending on the widget type—change the title, hide the widget, duplicate it, or configure it.

Focus on content in the widget (legend, details, scrolling)

In widgets, you can often control which information is displayed via the legend: You can specifically show or hide values if you want to take a closer look at certain aspects.
In some widgets (e.g. certain resource widgets), scrolling is also integrated.
