Managing standard widgets
If permissions have been set, the Permissions column contains the keyword Has restrictions. The default permission is that a standard widget is displayed in the Widget Catalog and that all users can configure the widget.
As the administrator, you can set permissions to standard widgets by user or group.
It is important to understand that changing the permissions on a standard widget affects all published widgets that are based on that widget. If a standard widget is disabled, all published widgets based on that widget are not available in the Widget Catalog, and pages that contain either the standard widget or the published widget are displayed as inactive with an unavailable icon.
The Standard Widgets page has all actions available in the toolbars above the list:
- The static toolbar with actions available for all widgets
- The expanded toolbar, dynamically displayed with actions available for selected widgets
You can search, sort, and filter to affect which widgets are shown. To display more widgets that match the search, use the pagination buttons below the list.
When one or more filters are in use, There are active filters. is displayed at the bottom of the list next to a option, available for deactivating the filters.
All possible actions are available from the menu. Actions that are available only for either single or multiple selection are enabled when they can be used.
