Widget Basket

Widget Basket: This video contains how to create an AIV Widget Basket.

Introduction

Imagine having your very own digital “widget basket,” a convenient spot to collect and organize all your favorite widgets. Think of it as your personal treasure chest for widgets. The best part? You can gather widgets from various dashboards and store them all in this one place. Whenever you need, you can effortlessly copy these widgets and place them onto any dashboard you choose. It’s like having your widgets ready and waiting at your command.

  • The Widget Basket is a feature in the AIV application that stores a list of all the widgets created by the user.
  • Users can add any widget (except filter widgets) from the dashboard to the Widget Basket and vice versa.
  • This feature is exclusive to the dashboard section, allowing users to copy widgets across dashboards without restrictions.

    • Note that this action only removes the widget from the list, not from the dashboard. To delete the widget from the dashboard, you’ll need to do so individually.
