Add Widgets on Dashboard
In karma, you can setup a custom dashboard to see what exactly you want to see on the dashboard when you login to your account. You can organize this dashboard in multiple tabs and then add multiple widgets on these tabs.
Click on Dashboard tab.
A widget shows specific set of records of a particular information type, for example, a widget can be of your Contacts, Deals, or Tasks.
On your dashboard, a default tab is selected where you can start adding widgets.

Add a Widget
In Add Widgets window, click on Add button available corresponding to the widget name, as below.
Click on Close button. The widget is added on the dashboard.
You can search a record using different search filters and these filters are available depending on the widget you want to filter the record.
For example: In the Contacts widget, you can search the contact by referral source. In the Cases widget, you cannot search the case by referral source. So, Referral source filter is available while searching for contacts but not available while searching for cases.
Follow the same steps to add and manage widgets and their records, to another tab on your dashboard. You can add same widgets to multiple tabs, if you want to see different records of same widget in different tabs. For example, in Tab1, In Contacts widget, you want to see only the contacts whose status is Warm, but in other tab, Tab 2, In Contacts widget, you want to see only contacts whose status is cold.
Broadcast
The Broadcast widget works little differently. This widget displays broadcasts and announcements to users. Only account owner and admin users can broadcast a message and this message is sent to all the account users, by default.
Click on Modules tab. Click on Add button for Broadcast, as below.
The New Broadcast window appears as below.
Write the message in Message section. Click on Save button and the message is added to Broadcasts widget as below.
