# Widgets

## What are Widgets?

Widgets are components that allow you to integrate data from external APIs directly into Dataloy. These integrations must be configured by your system administrator before becoming available to users. Once configured, users can choose which widgets to display in their drawers based on their specific needs.

### Adding Widgets to Drawers

#### Step 1: Access Widget Selection

1. Navigate to any drawer
2. At the top of the drawer, you'll see three view options:
   * KPIs
   * Widgets
   * All
3. Choos All or Widgets
4. Click on "Select Widgets" to open the widget selection modal

#### Step 2: Select Widgets

In the widget selection modal, you'll see:

* Currently selected widgets (if any)
* Available widgets list

To add a widget:

1. Browse the available widgets list
2. Click the (+) button next to any widget you want to add
3. The widget will be added to your drawer immediately

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.31/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/setup/widgets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
