About On Demand Widgets

Oracle CRM On Demand provides you with HTML code that you can use to embed a number of On Demand widgets in desktop applications that support Web widgets. You can also embed Web widgets in portals, or in any standalone Web page. A Web widget is a portable piece of third-party code that can be embedded in HTML. If your company administrator has made this feature available to you, HTML code that you can use to embed On Demand widgets in other applications is provided in the Embed CRM On Demand Content page in Oracle CRM On Demand.

When you successfully embed this HTML code in your application, an Oracle CRM On Demand sign-in window appears. Then, you can enter your sign-in details to access your Oracle CRM On Demand Favorite Lists, Message Center, and so on. You can open Oracle CRM On Demand in a new browser window by clicking Open Application.

Note: This feature is available in your Oracle CRM On Demand application only if it is enabled by your company administrator. To confirm if this feature is enabled in your Oracle CRM On Demand application, click the My Setup global link. If the feature is enabled, the Embed On Demand Content link is available on your Personal Homepage. If your company administrator has not assigned you permission to use On Demand widgets, and you try to sign in to an On Demand widget, the sign-in attempt fails.

The following On Demand widgets are available:

• Favorite Lists Widget. This On Demand widget displays your favorite Oracle CRM On Demand lists, for example, All Opportunities, My Accounts, and so on. Favorite Lists are located in the Action Bar of the Oracle CRM On Demand Homepage. For more information on embedding the Favorite Lists Widget, see Embedding a Favorite Lists Widget.
• Message Center Widget. This On Demand widget allows you to access messages received in Oracle CRM On Demand without requiring you to first sign in to Oracle CRM On Demand. The Message Center is located in the Action Bar of the Oracle CRM On Demand Homepage. For more information on embedding the Message Center Widget, see Embedding a Message Center Widget.

TIP: If your theme uses a larger font, then a scroll bar might display in your favorite lists widget. You can remove this scroll bar by editing the height and width values for the Web Tab HTML fields in your widget. For more information, see Displaying External Web Pages in Tabs.
