Create a widget to display weather data on the dashboard.

Opening the Create Widget window

To create a widget:

  1. Click Dashboard on the side menu.

  2. Go to the top right corner and click Edit Layout> Add Widget.

  3. Click the Type field and select Weather.

  4. Fill in the fields (see below).

  5. Click Create.

Filling in the fields

Go to the top of the window and enter a title (visible on the dashboard) and description (optional).

If you enter text into the Description field, Nektar adds an i icon to the dashboard widget. Mouse over the icon to display the text.

Customize settings.

  • Show on Mobile - This feature is enabled by default. Uncheck the box to hide this widget on mobile devices.

  • Color - Customize the color of the top edge of the widget.

  • Location - Select Dynamic if you plan on moving around. Otherwise, select Fixed and click the Change Location button to set your locale. Optionally, set a time zone.

  • Units - Use the default setting (Celsius) or switch to the old way of measuring temperature.

  • TimeSpan - The default setting is daily, but you can get hourly weather updates.

Resizing the widget

After you create and save, go to the canvas in Edit mode and resize the widget by dragging the corner icon. The wider the widget, the more forecast data displayed in the widget.
