Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media configured to generate and/or configure one or more widget dashboards are presented. The widget dashboard is designed to be easily plugged into systems, like applications using a web browser and may include a built-in widget store that can source one or more widgets from multiple sources or systems. The widget dashboard may include multiple pages to allow for display of a plurality of widgets. Configuring the widget dashboard may include selecting one or more widgets for display and/or creating new widgets for display. In some examples, the same widget may be displayed multiple times (e.g., multiple occurrences of the same widget on a widget dashboard) but each occurrence may be configured differently, to permit a user to view information in various different configurations.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method, comprising:
receiving, by a system including at least one computing device having a processor and configured to create and configure a widget dashboard, a request a create a widget dashboard; providing, by a module of the system, a plurality of widgets available for selection for display on the widget dashboard; receiving, by the system, user input selecting a first widget and a first configuration of the first widget for display on the widget dashboard; displaying the first widget having the first configuration on the widget dashboard; receiving, by the system, user input selecting the first widget and a second configuration of the first widget for display on the widget dashboard; and displaying the first widget having the second configuration on the widget dashboard simultaneously with the first widget having the first configuration.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input is received from a user computing device and wherein the widget dashboard is displayed on the user computing device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the widget dashboard includes a plurality of pages on which widgets are displayed.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the widget dashboard further includes an option to add an additional page to the widget dashboard.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selection of the first widget having the first configuration and the first widget having the second configuration is performed by dragging and dropping the first widget on to a widget display region of a widget dashboard.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of widgets available for selection are available via a widget store that includes a search option.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the search option includes options to search by at least one of: content of widgets and category of widgets.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the widget store further includes an option to create a new widget.

9 . An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and a memory storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the apparatus to:
receive a request a create a widget dashboard;
provide a plurality of widgets available for selection for display on the widget dashboard;
receive user input selecting a first widget and a first configuration of the first widget for display on the widget dashboard;
display the first widget having the first configuration on the widget dashboard;
receive user input selecting the first widget and a second configuration of the first widget for display on the widget dashboard; and
display the first widget having the second configuration on the widget dashboard simultaneously with the first widget having the first configuration.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the user input is received from a user computing device and wherein the widget dashboard is displayed on the user computing device.

11 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the widget dashboard includes a plurality of pages on which widgets are displayed.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the widget dashboard further includes an option to add an additional page to the widget dashboard.

13 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein selection of the first widget having the first configuration and the first widget having the second configuration is performed by dragging and dropping the first widget on to a widget display region of a widget dashboard.

14 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of widgets available for selection are available via a widget store that includes a search option.

15 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the search option includes options to search by at least one of: content of widgets and category of widgets.

16 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the widget store further includes an option to create a new widget.

17 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to:
receive a request a create a widget dashboard; provide a plurality of widgets available for selection for display on the widget dashboard; receive user input selecting a first widget and a first configuration of the first widget for display on the widget dashboard; display the first widget having the first configuration on the widget dashboard; receive user input selecting the first widget and a second configuration of the first widget for display on the widget dashboard; and display the first widget having the second configuration on the widget dashboard simultaneously with the first widget having the first configuration.

18 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 17 , wherein the user input is received from a user computing device and wherein the widget dashboard is displayed on the user computing device.

19 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of widgets available for selection are available via a widget store that includes a search option.

20 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 19 , wherein the search option includes options to search by at least one of: content of widgets and category of widgets.
