5. ### Creating Global Web Applets A global Web applet is a custom Web applet that can appear on My Homepage or in the Action bar. You can embed external Web content in custom global Web applets. You can also embed reports and dashboards in custom global Web applets. When you create a global Web applet, you must add it to the layout for My Homepage or the Action bar. Before you begin. To perform this procedure, your role must include the Customize Application and Manage Custom Web Applets privileges. If the Enable Language Translation Support for Web Applets check box is selected on the company profile, then you can create applets only if the language that is selected in the Translation Language field is the default language for the company. To create a new global web applet In the upper-right corner of any page, click the Admin global link. In the Application Customization section, click Application Customization. In the Application Setup section, select Global Web Applets. In the My Applet List, click New. On the My Web Applet page, complete the following fields:

When you first create an applet, the Mark for Translation check box is selected and read-only. The Mark for Translation check box is effective only when you update an existing applet. In addition, the Mark for Translation check box is read-only if you select any language other than the default language for the company in the Translation Language field in the list of applets before you edit the applet. If you change the name of an existing custom Web applet in the default language for the company, then use the Mark for Translation check box as follows: If you want the translated versions of the name to be replaced by the updated name, then select the Mark for Translation check box. If you want the translated versions of the name to remain unchanged, then do not select the Mark for Translations check box.
