Adding Widgets to the Application Header

The application header is displayed on every page of the application. You can control the layout of the header by choosing the column configuration and the widgets that populate the header.

1. Click the Layouts link in the header of the Application Builder administration tool, and then click the Header tab.
2. Select a column configuration from the Choose column configuration section.
   Note: If the header has existing widgets and you change the column configuration to have fewer columns, the widgets in the removed columns are returned to the available widgets box and not displayed to the user.
3. Create widgets as described in the Creating Widgets section of the documentation. Existing widgets can be edited at any time by clicking the pencil icon that is next to the widget name.
4. Drag the widget to the column that you want to display the widget in.
   Note: Widgets are rendered in the order that they are listed in for each column. If a widget has display conditions that are not met when the page is rendered, it is not shown in the column and all other widgets in that column are moved up.
5. You can remove a widget from the display by dragging it into the Widgets section.
   Attention: Removing the header links widget or the search box widget is not recommended unless you have a good reason, such as an equivalent replacement widget or a requirement to hide the functionality from end users.
6. Click Save changes to save the application header.
7. Once the header is saved, you can use the View App link from the administration tool header to view the application header as the current user in the application.
