Maximizing gadgets

Although gadgets display in a column or free form layout, users can maximize a gadget to fill the browser window. Maximized gadgets enable more space for a gadget to use and launches the browser-based tool for editing the selected gadget.

The following browser-based tools are launched by maximizing gadgets on the dashboard:

n	BIRT Data Analyzer launches from cross-tab gadgets.

n	Interactive Viewer launches from chart, report, reportlet, and table gadgets.

A browser-based tool can save changes to a gadget when the user has write permissions to the dashboard file.

Gadgets are maximized by:

n	Double-clicking the gadget title

n	Selecting Analyze from the gadget menu

n	Selecting Maximize from the gadget header

Interactive Viewer features, such saving a file, hiding document parts, printing, and linking or embedding the document page, requires that the BIRT document or design file be opened from Information Console and not from within a gadget.
