About Business Console Gadgets
Business Console gadgets are re-usable components that enable customization and personalization of business monitoring dashboards in Business Console. Business Console offers built-in gadgets for creating dashboards. However, you can create your own gadgets by using wizards in Designer, deploy these new gadgets to a My webMethods Server, and re-use these gadgets for customizing Business Console. Gadgets can be accessed either through Business Console or by making REST requests.
When you design a gadget in Designer, you can specify:
User interface and functionality of the gadget
Whether or not to use AngularJS framework to create the gadget
Custom parameters for configuring gadgets in
Business ConsoleJavaScript events for communicating between gadgets
Remote server connections for the gadget
REST invocation method for communicating with remote servers (whether to use Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) support on host servers or
Business Console's proxy REST service)
My webMethods Server on which the gadget must be deployed
Access permission for a gadget is assigned by My webMethods administrator.
For more information about assigning permissions to Business Console users to use the gadgets deployed to My webMethods Server, see Administering My webMethods Server. For information about re-using gadgets and customizing Business Console, see Working with webMethods Business Console.
