Recently Viewed

The recently viewed widget is your one-stop shop to your most recently opened articles, tickets, tasks, and more. It is automatically added to your homepage after you integrate a compatible app, including but not limited to: Google Drive, Box, Github.

With this widget you can:

• See a list of your most recently opened external resources.
• Filter to view your most recent activity in a specific application.

Resources are displayed in this list when you open something directly from Workstation or if you open it from the application itself. The following applications populate in the widget by viewing resources directly from the app:

• Google
• Box
• Onedrive
• GitHub
  • Github only displays the two most recent resources

Resources from other applications will display here if you opened them from Workstation. Continue to use Workstation’s Enterprise Search so that it can get smarter and become more valuable to you!

Widget Management

Make your homepage work for you by customizing which widgets appear on your homepage and in what order.

There are two ways to customize your widgets:

1. You can manage widgets directly on your Workstation’s homepage
   • Actions you can do on the homepage:
     • Reorder
2. For further customization options, go to Your Widgets:
   1. Settings→ Preferences→ Customize→ Widgets
   2. Actions you can do from Your Widgets:
      • Reorder
      • Hide a widget: Hiding a widget from Your Widgets is the same as removing from the homepage
      • Show a widget: If you’ve removed a widget and want to bring it back
      • Connect other apps with widgets

NEW! A scroll bar will now appear on hover (while hovering over the right side) and will not cover the header, so users can easily navigate through the homepage widgets.

Your Widgets

To access Your Widgets:

1. Click Settings in the sidebar
2. Go to the Preferences tab
3. Click Customize next in the Customize Homepage
4. Go to the Widgets tab

Reorder widgets from Customize Homepage

Similarly to how you would reorder the widgets on the homepage itself, you can do it from Your Widgets too:

1. Click and hold the widget you to move
2. Drag it up or down on the page to place it above or below other widgets
3. When it’s in the place you want, release the click

Show or hide a widget

You can decide to show or hide a widget by turning the widget’s toggle on or off.

Turn ON to show the widget on the homepage.

Turn OFF to hide the widget from the homepage.

• Hiding a widget doesn’t remove the integration
• There must be at least one active widget

More widgets for you

You can see a list of other apps that have a widget under More widgets for you

Click Connect next to the app to integrate that app with Workstation and add the widget to your homepage.
