| Field | Action |
| Widget catalog server | Specify the catalog server from which to provision at application startup and periodically during replication from the catalog to the user's local replica (by default, replication occurs on whatever schedule is set for Normal priority applications). Use server/domain format or a fully qualified name. If you use a server/domain format, server failover is supported.
If this policy's How to apply this setting column is set to Set value and prevent changes, users will not be able to change the value on the Widgets preferences panel.
By default, this value is not set. |
| Widget catalog application name | Specify the Widget catalog application name, for example toolbox.nsf, on the catalog server, from which to provision at client application startup and periodically during replication from the catalog to the user's local replica (by default, replication occurs on whatever schedule is set for Normal priority applications). Use the Widget Catalog template (toolbox.ntf) to create the catalog application.
If this policy's How to apply this setting column is set to Set value and prevent changes, the end user will not be able to change the value on the Widgets preferences panel.
The default catalog name is toolbox.nsf. |

If this field is blank, no widgets are installed in the user's My Widgets sidebar panel. Categories typically equate to a user grouping, such as a specific project team or job type.
The categories listed in this policy cause the equivalent category names in the Widgets preferences panel to be selected. If How to apply this setting is set to Set value and prevent changes, the categories are disabled, and end users cannot deselect them.
By default, this value is not set. |
| Enable Live Text | Specify if auto-recognized Live Text appears as dash-underlined text in the user's Notes® document. Live Text display can be toggled on and off when working in a session.

If this setting is disabled and its How to apply this setting column is set to Set value and prevent changes, the Widgets preferences panel will not be visible to the end user.
By default, this setting is enabled. |
| Restrict the creation of widgets to specific types | Restrict creation and edit of widgets to certain types (referred to as provider IDs).
The Widgets and Live Text feature includes an extension point for widget providers. The supplied providers include Notes view, Feeds, Web page or service, and Google Gadget.
If this setting is disabled, the user can create or edit widgets with no restriction on type.
If this setting is enabled, the user can only create or edit widgets of a certain type. The administrator can then specify which widget types (provider IDs) are available using the next setting.
By default, this setting is enabled. |
| Enable provider IDs for widget addition | Note: This field appears in the form only when Restrict the addition of widgets to specific types is enabled.
Specify the widget types available for creation. Use a comma (,) to separate types in the list. The available widget types are:
com.ibm.notes.toolbox.provider.NotesViewPalleteProvider
com.ibm.notes.toolbox.provider.NotesFormPalleteProvider
com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.web.provider.WebServicesPalleteProvider
com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.feeds.FeedPalleteProvider

Note: If you retain the default setting ( '.' ), users will be unable to create any widgets.
For example, if the policy setting Restrict the addition of widgets to specific types is set to Enabled and Enable provider IDs for widget addition is set to the following value, the user could only create Google Gadget widget types:
com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.google.provider.internal.GooglePalleteProvider
|
| Restrict provider IDs for installation/execution | Restrict installation and update of widgets to specific types (referred to as provider IDs). If enabled, the administrator can then specify which widget types (provider IDs) are available using the next setting. Note that if you restrict what widget types are available for installation, you should also restrict creation of those same widget types using the Restrict the addition of widgets to specific types and Enable provider IDs for widget addition policies.
By default, this setting is disabled. |
| Enable provider IDs for installation/execution | Note: This field appears in the form only when Restrict provider IDs for installation/execution is enabled.
Specify the widget types available for install and update. Use a comma to separate types in the list.
The available widget type/Provider ID entries include the following and correlate to the available widget types.
com.ibm.notes.toolbox.provider.NotesViewPalleteProvider

For example, if the policy setting Restrict provider IDs for installation/execution is set to Enabled and Enable provider IDs for installation/execution is set to the following value, the user could only install or provision Google Gadget widget types:
com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.google.provider.internal.GooglePalleteProvider

| Restrict extension point IDs for installation/execution | Restrict installation of widgets that contain certain extension points. If enabled, the administrator can then specify which extension point IDs are allowed using the next setting.
Note: Extension points are an Eclipse feature. They define new function points for the platform that other plug-ins can plug into. Eclipse provides many extension points with the core platform. The Widgets and Live Text feature also provides some extension points.
The Eclipse platform provides the following identifiers, and many others:
org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus, org.eclipse.ui.viewActions, org.eclipse.ui.views
Notes and Expeditor provide the following identifiers, and many others:
com.ibm.rcp.ui.shelfViews,com.ibm.rcp.search.engines.searchEngines, com.ibm.rcp.search.ui.searchBarSets, com.ibm.rcp.content.contentTypes, com.ibm.rcp.annotation.regex.regexTypes
By default, this setting is disabled. |
| Enable extension point IDs for installation/execution | Note: This field appears in the form only when Restrict extension point IDs for installation/execution is enabled.
You can restrict this list or add to it. Use a comma to separate items in the list. The default is as follows:
org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus,com.ibm.rcp.content.contentTypes,com.ibm.rcp.annotation.regex.regexTypes,com.ibm.rcp.ui.shelfViews,org.eclipse.ui.views,org.eclipse.ui.viewActions,com.ibm.rcp.search.engines.searchEngines,com.ibm.rcp.search.ui.searchBarSets

This also enables display of the Recognize All Content option in the My Widgets menu and the Display type properties action when right-clicking on a content type in a Notes document.
By default, this setting is disabled. |
| Enable default recognizers | Specify if the IBM-supplied, advanced Live Text recognizers such as person (name), place (address), and organization are enabled.
