Tell Notes® users how to obtain the widget or inform them they will be automatically provisioned with the widget, and the feature it is designed to deploy, upon their next catalog update.

Procedure

1. Install the widget from the catalog.

If using policies:
• Click Catalog -> Update Widgets from your My Widgets sidebar panel options menu.
• Allow the local catalog to be updated/replicated on its regular schedule and be aware that the new widget will be added and the feature it is designed to deploy will be installed, when the local catalog is updated.

If not using policies:
• Click Catalog -> Update Widgets from your My Widgets sidebar panel options menu. Click Catalog -> Preferences, select the category in which the widget resides, and click Apply.
• Open the catalog (click Browse the Widget Catalog in the My Widgets sidebar panel toolbar), highlight the widget, and drag it to your My Widgets sidebar panel.

Note: When you install a new feature, you are prompted to restart the client.

The widget catalog is checked for updates based on a replication schedule. Adding or removing a category in the Widgets preference panel adds or removes widgets on the client in or from that category. Any features called by a widget in a category to which a user is subscribed are installed on that user's client system.
