The portal comes with a number of widgets designed specifically for intranet scenarios. These widgets are derived from standard Kentico CMS web parts, but have most of their properties pre-configured so that the required configuration is limited to the minimum. In any case, you can always modify the configuration of the widgets in Site Manager -> Development -> Widgets. Some of the widgets have their properties configured depending on the default alias paths of certain documents in the content tree. For more information on this topic, please refer to Customizing the portal -> Modifying structure of the website.

 

All intranet widgets are stored in the Intranet Portal widget category. Other widget categories are also available, but the widgets in them are meant for general use and it may be necessary to pre‑configure the properties of these widgets according to the document structure of the portal website. Each of the widgets can be used in one of the following scenarios:

 

•User widgets - can be used by live site users on their personalizable pages, typically on the My Dashboard page.

•Editor widgets - can be used by website editors on the Page tab in CMS Desk, typically on the Home page of the global portal or of individual departments.

•Workgroup widgets - can be used by workgroup administrators, typically on each workgroup's Home page.

 

The following paragraphs describe widgets in each of these three categories.
