Creating Custom Dashboard Widgets

To create a custom message widget on the candidate dashboard you will need to have Super Admin Configuration permissions. If you have issues please contact support@gradleaders.com. 

When signed in as a candidate (also applies to Admin/Employer), hover over the top left of the dashboard until "Edit Dashboard" appears.   

Click the "Add Widget" action at the top left of the edit dashboard page.  

1. Select "Custom Message" in the Widget Type drop down. 
2. Add your title in the Widget Title setting. Uncheck "Widget Title Visible" if you do not want a title to display.
3. The Widget Tooltip has unique functionality for standard widgets. You can duplicate your widget title text in this setting.
4. Select "New Message" in the Message Option drop down. Your custom widget messages that have already been created and stored will be listed here, but for new widgets, "New Message" should be your selection. 
5. Insert your message text, images or HTML in the Message Text editor. Note that to upload HTML code, use the "Change Mode" function higlighted below. 

     6. Select the permission groups that should have access to view this widget. This may              require additional support from GradLeaders if you are unfamiliar with your permission            setups. You may also reference other widgets on the dashboard to get a better idea of            what your selections should be.

     7. Click Save.
