Can I rearrange the widgets?

Each user can arrange their widgets to display in a manner that helps them be more productive. However, please note that the My Time, What's Happening, Time Off, Goals/Training/Benefits, and My Team Widgets are all static at the top of the page because of the important information they contain.

To add, remove, or rearrange widgets, click Edit at the top of Home. You will see any available widgets you haven't added yet in the lower section. Click on the section to add any of those you want to Home. You can also click on the X for any widgets you want to remove (this excludes My Time, What's Happening, Time Off, Goals/Training/Benefits, Celebrations, Who's Out, Company Links, and My Team). 

To rearrange a widget, simply click on the widget and drag it to the desired position.

Please note that individual users must add or rearrange widgets on their Home page. You cannot add or rearrange widgets on behalf of another user.
