Widgets are reusable items that can display a variety of data.
They can be added to Communico webpages and some have been developed to display in Communico Apps and Broadcast Shows.
All widgets can be exported and added to external webpages within iFrames.
There are 3 main widget types based on where the content comes from. We also have some flexible widgets which can be a mixture of these 3 types.
These pre-styled widgets are built up by a user entering their own content.
The Bookmarks widget allows you to display information categorized within tabs. You can setup as many or as little sections as you'd like and add the coresponding content with links that point out to that resource.
The Button widget allows you to create a simple button with a link and short description.
The FAQ widget is list of questions and answers relating to a particular subject, especially one giving basic information for users. Clicking on any question will display the cooresponding answer.

The Slideshow Plus widget, is similar to the Slideshow widget, but allows for more features. Similar to the slideshow widget, you can add transitions, arrows, and choose the delay. In addition to that, this allows you to create a slide, 'scene' that can embed other widgets like events, reserve and more.
Setting up a site search is easier than ever with the Site Search widget. In the widget settings, add your library's website, along with a simple placeholder text if you wish. Searching a term in this widget will help users find content on your website for example, 'events' or 'contact' information.
The Show widget is a more advanced version of a slideshow. This allows library's to display anything from, static images, to events, to current room bookings.

The Recommended Reads widget is a simple carousel that can display book jackets that link out to your online catalog. You'll have the ability to create categories for example "NYT Best Fiction Sellers", "Staff Picks" or, "Top Reads". These can be easily setup by inputing the Bib IDs for the items you wish to showcase.

The Nested widget allows you to 'nest' widgets together in an accordion style view. In this example we have nested the button, FAQ, and Events widget. When a user clicks on the headers, the content will expand to show the nested widget, clicking on the header again will collapse the view.
Using this widget you can get creative and write your own source code. Some examples of an HTML widget are creating banners to display information on your website, creating custom headers, and more!
