Setting gadget properties

There are a number of properties that you can set for a gadget. You access the gadget properties by clicking in the gadget's title bar, then clicking Properties.

You can then set:

  • theTitle for the gadget.
  • the Column span for the gadget (see below).
  • the required refresh rate in the Refresh Rate list.
    The time that the gadget was last automatically updated appears in its title bar. Be aware that setting short refresh rates on gadgets can reduce system performance if it causes many queries to be refreshed frequently.
  • whether the height of the gadget is determined automatically.
    If you select the Determine height automatically check box, then Web Access resizes the height of the gadget to fit the contents of the gadget. If you clear this check box, you can set the exact height of the gadget by dragging its bottom edge.
