Adding System Widgets

There are five System Widgets that can appear in the left and right panes by default. Unlike Custom Widgets or Graphs these Widgets cannot be edited and are maintained as the standard Widgets by PCR.

  • 'User Details' - Provides relevant User information like User Name, Change Password link, User Role(s), Dept Hierarchy, Name, Phone, Email, and Address. There is also a log of the last 10 login attempts.

  • 'Messages' - System messages generated by the Notifications and Escalations will appear here as well as any messages from running batch processes.

  • 'Open Service Desk Item' - Any (2024.1) Service Desk items that are assigned to the User will appear here. These appear in four groups; The first three are Service Rep, Workgroup, and Assigned Workflow and can be clicked to automatically navigate to their respective sections in the (2024.1) My Service Desk space. The last is Assigned Requests, and when clicked on will automatically navigate to the (2024.1) Requests grid.

  • 'News' - Provides the listing of all the News the Admin has determined was important for the User to know.

  • 'Google' - Provides a Google Search bar that a User can quickly access and search for information using Google. Clicking 'Google Search' will open the search requested in a new tab.

There is an additional System Widget that DOES NOT appear by default. The following Widget is known to be a resource hog and may have an adverse effect on the speed of PCR-360 when viewing the (2024.1) Landing Page or (2024.1) Dashboard. For this reason, the 'Status' is set to Inactive by default, though it can be turned on.

  • 'Recent Activity' - Provides a history of any Recent changes in the data across all grids.

An Admin can add additional (2024.1) System Widgets that can be set to appear by default.
