Reporting Widgets

Widgets display a graphical representation of Gigbuilder data and appear in buttons or a small rectangle at the very top of the dashboard. Select widget(s) and the type of device you'd like it displayed on.

Calendar

Displays a one or two-column calendar widget showing your active dates in one column and activities in the second. You may change to any date and create events or appointments.

Calendar Control

Displays an event calendar on your dashboard automatically sized for your device. Your calendar will display below any Report Widget and above legacy widgets. Gigbuilder also contains a full calendar which is available on its own page

Components

Use all the widgets from prior versions of Gigbuilder. Many of these widgets have been added to the taskbar but are here for backward compatibility. Mobile devices have an upper limit of ten items (and a + button for additional) for each widget to conserve space. Gigbuilder automatically resizes for all devices and tries to fill the screen as much as possible. Use the location field to determine when each widget is dropped into the homepage. Items with the same weight will appear next to each other, in order.

Event Status Widgets

Leads

Status of Lead is the default when you generate an event OR once a Web Request has been edited.
