Lotus Connections 2.0’s main page allows users to have an aggregated view of information from various and diverse sources as the Home page feature is based on widgets. Besides this, the Home page also allows you implementing and adding your own widgets. For this purpose, the new term “iWidget” is defined. The process to create and deploy a widget is relatively straightforward. You deploy an iWidget to the Home page in two main steps:

  1. Deploy the XML descriptor and all the resources of the iWidget to a Web server.
  2. Register the widget in the Home page catalog by pointing to the URL of the deployed iWidget XML descriptor.
