Editing and Deleting Widgets

A widget can be edited after being added to the portal. For example, this can be used if you wish to make an update to a content widget or if you’d like to change the calendar categories displaying on a calendar widget.

Edit an existing widget

In the administrator side of Citizen portal, select the “Widgets” tab from the top menu. Then you need to:

  1. Select the “Actions” button to the right of widget that you want to edit
  2. Select “Edit widget” from the dropdown menu
  3. This will take you to a new page where you can edit the widget's configuration, content and notifications
  4. Under "Notifications", turn on "Widget Notification" if you would like subscribed users to receive a notification for the edits you made. Turn it off if you don't want them to receive a notification (i.e., if you are simply fixing a spelling error)
  5. Click “Save” to save your changes

Delete a widget

There are two ways to delete an existing widget. In the administrator side of Citizen portal, select the “Widgets” tab from the top menu. Then you need to:

  1. Select the “Actions” button to the right of the widget you wish to delete
  2. Select “Delete widget”

Alternatively, you can delete a widget using the “edit widget” function. In the administrator side of Citizen portal, select the “Widgets” tab from the top menu. Then, you need to:

  1. Select the “Actions” button to the right of the widget you wish to delete
  2. Select ”Edit widget”
  3. Select the “Delete” button at the top right of the page

Please note that once a widget is deleted, you can’t recover the widget. The widget will be removed from the administrator portal as well as from the citizen’s dashboard.
