<p>We'd like to add some links to resources and contact information
to the Cascade Dashboard for editor support requests. Is there a
way to add a custom widget to the dashboard (and force it to be
default on everyone's dashboard)?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>tomlinsontag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/333983232014-06-16T14:36:22Z2014-06-16T14:36:22ZIs there a way to add a custom Dashboard widget?<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>Currently, it is not possible to add custom widgets (or add
custom content) to the Dashboard. I believe we did discuss
something along those lines during the acceptance testing for the
customizable dashboard, but it did not make it into the initial
implementation.</p>
<p>I highly recommend posting this as a suggestion on our <a href=
"http://ideas.hannonhill.com/">Idea Exchange</a> for others to vote
up and/or comment on.</p>
<p>That being said, as a workaround, you could set up a <a href=
"http://www.hannonhill.com/kb/Sites/#set-site-asset-factory-containers-and-starting-page">
starting page</a> that is linked to from the New Content widget.
This starting page could contain your links and content information
and I believe can be re-used across Sites.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Ryan Griffithtag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/333983232014-06-19T23:51:40Z2014-06-19T23:51:40ZIs there a way to add a custom Dashboard widget?<div><p>Thanks Ryan!</p></div>tomlinsontag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/333983232014-06-20T11:05:32Z2014-06-20T11:05:32ZIs there a way to add a custom Dashboard widget?<div><p>Not a problem at all, Rob.
