Using an image gadget
Image gadgets contain general gadget options and a URL address of an image file. The image file can be on the Encyclopedia volume or on an external server. The Edit Image Gadget—Image Settings appear when adding this gadget to a dashboard or editing it, as shown in

Dashboard developers can customize how the gadget appears on the dashboard using the Edit Image Gadget—General options. For more information about general options, see
