After you create widget templates, assign them to the user or message group that would benefit from the same widget set up. Users to which you assign templates must have widgets enabled to view any widgets you assign to them using a template. You can assign multiple widget templates to a single user.
You must be assigned the SOLAR.WIDGET.TEMPLATE authorization key to create and assign widget templates.
Important: If you modify a widget template and reassign it to a user, any widgets the user has that were assigned from the original template are removed and replaced with the new widgets in the template.
To assign a widget template to a user or message group:
From the File menu, select Widgets > Assign Solar Widget Template to display the Widget Template Assignment window.
If you are creating a template and are in the Window Template Maintenance window, select the template you want to assign and select Edit > Assign Template to display the Widget Template Assignment window.
In the Assign Template ID field, select the template you want to assign.
In the To User ID/Message Group field, enter the ID of the user or message group. Click the Multiple button to enter more than one user or message group.
Click OK to assign the template to the users or click Cancel to close the window without assigning the template.
The system sends a message to the users to which you assigned the template indicating that widgets have been assigned to them. Users must log out and back in to see the widgets in the Solar desktop.
