Overview
Widgets are graphical elements that are used on an iControl Web page to represent devices,
alarm panels, sources, routers and other parts of a signal path or site layout.
A collection of widgets resides on the Application Server (as of iControl 3.20) in a special
iC Web site folder named WidgetsLibrary. The library is divided into folders that group the
widgets by type. You can browse the library and import any number of widgets into another
Web site.
For a complete list of widgets in the library, as well as a description of their properties, please
refer to the iControl Widget User Guide, available from the Startup > Documentation page of
any Application Server (iControl 3.20 or later).
