Popdock widgets enable you to take the data from your connector and integrate the list or graph into the applications that you use daily. A single list/graph or multiple lists can be assigned to a widget which creates a link that allows you to embed your widget into an html page or customizable application.
How to create a widget
1. From the main menu, select Widgets.
2. Select Add widgets and then select the type of widget you want to create.
Form widgets and widget groups can be created by selecting them from the navigation pane.
Cards – Displays the data grouped in a card format with the data organized vertically.
- Form – Provides interface to run an action.
- Image – Displays images in an application without needing to download.
- Multiple Lists – Allows you to assign multiple lists to your widget either in custom groups or directly in a list.
- Search – Allows you to complete a text search for values within selected fields of a list.
- Shipping Details – Shows shipping details of a tracking number for a shipping carrier.
- Single List– Displays a single list/chart.
- Single Record – Similar to a Cards widget, but in combination with adding a parameter, you can display a single record for specific data. For example, information about a Vendor.
- Summary – Allows your widget to display the summary data of a list.
- Widget Group – Allows you to add a widget or multiple widgets to a sidebar and pass a parameter through the Widget Group Widget and that parameter will flow through to all the widgets within the group.
This example uses a single default list for Zendesk tickets. So, the widget will use a Type of Single List. You can then complete the Connector, Group, List, and Favorite for the list.
4. Select Options from the left navigation, then select which options to apply. In this example, the widget will use the show columns, show filter, and show search options. Users that have access to this widget will be able to perform those actions on their own version of the list.
Embed codes for widgets
This completes the required steps needed to create a Popdock widget. Select Preview in the left navigation pane to see how the widget will look when embedded.
Select Embed codes in the left navigation to see your embed codes. You can set the Type to Link, Widget ID, or IFrame and then copy the Code to display your widget on another webpage or inside an application.
