Widgets
Enhanced visibility of your PIM content!
Quable PIM widgets bring your dashboard to life by presenting your data in graphical form to help you see and understand it easily. They help you improve time management and enhance collaboration and efficiency.
Actions You Can Perform
Creating Widgets
Widgets are created differently according to their type:
Organizing Widgets
Widgets are displayed on the dashboard in two columns. You can change the location of a widget by dragging it to another location designated by a dotted blue frame.
Note
While there's technically no cap on the quantity of widgets allowed on your dashboard, we strongly advise keeping it under 20 to prevent any potential performance issues caused by their dynamic nature in your PIM.
Editing Widgets
You can edit a widget by clicking on the action icon in the upper right corner of a widget and selecting Edit. The widget's edit window will appear. Make your changes and click the Save Widget button to save your changes or the Close button to exit the dialog without editing the widget.
Duplicating Widgets
You can copy a widget by clicking on the actions icon in the upper right corner of a widget and selecting Duplicate. The widget is immediately duplicated and added to the bottom of your dashboard.
Sharing Widgets
This widget sharing feature is only available to administrators.
You can share a widget on your dashboard with other users. Select a widget, click the action icon in the upper right corner and select Share. The Share Widget window appears.
You can:
- enter a name in Name to search for a specific user after clicking on the magnifying glass icon
- select users and drag them from one panel to another with the arrows.
You can also use the checkbox in the header to select all users in the list displayed;
Click on the Share button to validate the widget assignment or Close to abandon the operation.
Removing Widgets
You can remove a widget from your dashboard by clicking the action icon in the upper right corner of the widget and selecting Delete. The confirmation window will appear. Click the Delete button to remove the widget or the Cancel button to cancel the removal.
View a widget in full screen
You can display your widgets in full screen to improve their visibility. To do so, click on the dedicated "full screen" icon, to the left of the actions icon.
Types of widgets

The following chart types are available:
