Create/refer to widget catalog in RM

To present the widgets to the users, add a reference to the widget catalog (if not already exists) in RM application:

  • go to https://<jazz-server>/rm/admin > Advanced Properties
  • search the entry com.ibm.rdm.widgetcatalog.internal.WidgetCatalog
  • and enter for "User Extension Catalog URL" the path to the WidgetCatalog.xml

Jazz Server Settings
Note: the catalog and the extensions must reside on a web server accessible without login!

Add a widget to the catalog

The catalog is a xml file. Each widget has a catalog entry. Paths in catalog file are relative to catalog.

Presentation of widget catalog

When you click "Add Widget" in DNG, the catalog is presented to the users for selection.

Load external widgets (OpenSocial Gadget)

You can also load a widget, which is not part of the catalog, as long you know the path to the widget definition (xml file). This way you might test a widget before it will become visible to all users through the catalog.
