System Administrator Guide
In order to add or remove any of these buttons from the widget, the SmartClient must be in
Edit Mode. This mode unlocks the SmartClient dashboard enabling the user to be able to
move (via drag and drop) any of the widgets already on the dashboard. The user can also
add or delete widgets as required.
At the same time, each widget becomes editable in itself and by clicking the
button that
appears in the top right area of the widget when in edit mode you can add or remove
buttons that are available to that widget. See
Analog Clock
This widget is simply an analog clock that displays the local PC time, useful if
the SmartClient is run full screen and the client PC clock is not visible. The clock
can be resized as required to fit an area of workspace simply by clicking and
dragging one of the corners.
Asset Search
This widget allows you to save a predefined
automatic search of the asset database that can be
set to refresh regularly with in a time frame of 1-100
seconds. You can also configure whether you would
like the results of the search displayed in a tile or
thumbnail arrangement exactly like the searches
performed in the Browse workspace.
You may also configure the size of the asset
thumbnails displayed. This is useful if you are
considering using multiple Asset Search widgets on the dashboard and have limited
display space.
An example usage of a pre-configured search on the dashboard might be for any clips
annotated as ‘News’ being registered throughout the day that a journalist needs to keep
track of.
Jobs Management
Depending on what type of jobs you have pre-configured in the
system, buttons of these job types appear in this widget
provided they are active on the system. They will also display a
‘badge’ in the top right of the button that shows the number of
jobs of this type waiting to be processed.
An example of a job type might be clips awaiting journalist
annotation or quality control approval. Clicking on a job type button will load a specially
filtered job search grid for that job type. The user can then take control of any jobs in the
queue and complete them.
