Once you drag and drop the dashlet onto the canvas and click the dashlet, a blue border appears around the dashlet to indicate it is selected. You will also see action icons on the dashlet, including a pen icon and a settings icon.
To add content, click the pen icon on the dashlet. This opens the editor directly on the canvas.
You can type text, add short messages, or paste HTML for custom formatting.
Once you finish editing, click the tick icon to save the content. This lets you quickly place headings, labels, instructions, or simple branding elements on the dashboard without leaving the canvas.
After saving the content, and when you click the settings icon, the properties panel opens on the right. The properties panel is divided into two sections, General and Display.
The General settings control the name, content type, and runtime behavior of the Rich Text dashlet.
Enter the name of the Rich Text dashlet as shown in the properties panel.
Select how the Rich Text dashlet stores and updates its content.
Choose how the Rich Text content loads at runtime.
