The Edelweiss homepage design is based on feedback from our users that they wanted something fast, flexible, and easy to customize. The basic ideas behind this design are that you can:

• Customize the “widgets” on your homepage and move them around
• Use Quick Links to easily jump to frequently used items like your Folders, Shelves, Tags, Worklists, Orders, etc.
• Set up multiple widgets of the same type as needed (i.e. view your Worklists and Recently Viewed catalogs at the same time)
• Customize widgets for DRCs, Buzz, and more using your Saved Filters (i.e. quickly view just ‘Sci-Fi DRCs’ or ‘Literary Fiction DRCs’)
• Stay up-to-date with more prominent notifications (DRC approvals, marked-up catalogs, etc.)

You can add ‘widgets’ that are pretty much as customizable as you’d like. Click Add Widget to view all available widgets.

In the resulting window, you’ll be able to select from several available widgets. Select one of the options to add it to your homepage:

You can easily drag a new widget to a different spot on the page by clicking on the ‘dotted square’ icon to grab the widget and drag it to wherever you like.

Click the gear icon to add a Saved Filter to a widget:

Set up as many or as few widgets of interest as you’d like. You can have, for example, widgets, all with different filters applied, showing all of your hardcover titles that come out in the next week, next to your publishers’ titles that have digital review copies available, etc. Or, you can have a widget for reviews submitted by your contacts next to a widget for notifications of shared markups and orders, next to a widget showing your publishers’ new catalogs, etc. Simply continue selecting Add Widget to add as many of these as you’d like.

Essentially, you can make sure your dashboard looks as simple or as rich as you’d like, very much depending on how you like to work.
