Dashboard widgets are a new feature of Family Tools 3.0. Widgets are customizable pieces of the dashboard that show information from the app’s tools for quick access and streamlined organization.
Widget types
- Chores: See a list of the family’s chores that can be checked off right from the Dashboard. This can be filtered by day and by family member.
- Homework: See a list of the family’s homework that can be checked off right from the Dashboard. This can be filtered by day and by family member.
- Todos: See a list of the family’s todos that can be checked off right from the Dashboard. This can be filtered by day and by family member.
- Favorited Lists: Links to all lists marked by a star will appear here.
- Favorited Notes: Links to all notes marked by a star will appear here.
- Meals: See upcoming meals with links to their recipes.
- Recipe Search: Search for recipe names and tags right from the Dashboard.
- Favorited Plans: Links to all plans marked by a star will appear here.
- Family Members: See a list of family members, their icons, their levels, and a link to edit their permissions
How to add widgets
- On the Dashboard, scroll down until you see a button that says Add Widget
- Use the drop-down to select what widget you want to add
- Select a color
- Select Add
Widgets can be moved by grabbing (touching and holding) the double vertical lines (||) and moving them to the desired spot.
To remove a widget, select the gear icon on it and select Remove.
You’ll note that each widget also has a chain link icon. Use this to go to the widget’s source. (i.e. The Favorited Lists link will take you to Lists.)
