What Widgets preferences can I set?

You can use the Widgets preferences panel to specify the name of the widget catalog server, catalog, and catalog categories to install. Also use the Widgets preferences panel to toggle display of the Widgets toolbar buttons, the Tools > Widgets menu options, and the My Widgets sidebar panel.

About this task

The catalog is a central repository for widgets that you can add to, update, and retrieve from or be provisioned with.

These settings can be initially set using HCL Domino® policy or the plugin_customization.ini file. Based on your policy or preferences, you may be unable to edit these preferences.

Procedure

  1. Click File > Preferences > Widgets.

    Alternatively you can click Catalog > Preferences from the My Widgets options menu.

  2. Enable or disable the Show Widget Toolbar and the My Widgets Sidebar Panel option to show or hide the three Widgets toolbar buttons, the Tools > Widgets options, and the My Widgets sidebar panel.
  3. Specify the catalog location using the Catalog server and Catalog name (.nsf) fields. Use the Browse button to quickly navigate to the target widget catalog server and widgets catalog application.

    For Notes® users, specify the catalog server on which the widget catalog resides and the catalog name itself (for example, toolbox.nsf). For server name, use server/domain format or a fully qualified name. If you use server/domain, server failover will be supported.

    Note: If you change the catalog server or catalog name, click Apply to refresh the categories list.
  4. Specify which widget categories to install from the list of available categories.

    When you click OK, widgets in the selected categories are updated in your local widgets catalog and My Widgets sidebar panel.
