Overview of Widgets

The Dashboard is comprised of speed dials and widgets. Speed dials allow you to establish links to KAStrack Documents, Forms, and even URLs, so that you can easily access desired webpages (including webpages outside of the KAStrack system). Widgets highlight module summaries or charts representing report information.

A detailed explanation of speed dials, module summary widgets and chart widgets is provided in the tables below.

Speed Dial Explanation Table
  • Speed dials are a dashboard feature used to add relevant quick links to frequently needed Documents, Forms, and websites.
  • Speed dials can be displayed three ways: in a horizontal row at the top of a screen, a floating expandable icon, and as a widget.
  • Speed dials cannot be dragged and dropped to reorder them. Instead, they display in the order in which they are pinned to a Dashboard. To change their order, simply unpin and re-add them in the order you wish to have them display.
