Add widgets to the Home page

Extend the functionality of the Home page feature by adding widgets. To make the widgets available for use in the Home page, you need to add the widgets from the Administration tab in the Home page user interface and then enable them for use.

In IBM Lotus Connections 2.5, you can use third-party widgets to bring additional functionality to the Home page feature. The widgets must use the iWidget specification, which uses technology based on JavaScriptâ„¢, XML, HTML, and CSS. The widget files are stored on an HTTP server. The widgets can be bundled as EAR applications and deployed on IBM WebSphere Application Server. They can also be hosted in LAMP, .NET, and other environments. You can add two types of third-party widget to the Home page:

Any widget can be used as a default or optional widget.

Third-party widgets can be added to the right column on the Updates tab, and to any column on the My Page tab.
