<p>It seems to me that the "gadget" term is used in the doc when referring to any dashboard visualization element and also when specifically referring to Google gadgets. This is very confusing as when you read the documentation or the user interface labels its meaning is unclear.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have discovered that the "Import gadget" option on the dashboard editor menu refers to Google gadgets but on the other hand it's unclear the proposal of the "Gadget from gallery" option. I have browsed the docs without a mention on it except page 43 of the application-developer-guide that says:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"If you have existing gadget files in your BIRT application folder, choose Insert➛Gadget Gallery to display the file browser and search for the gadget file to add to the dashboard. After the gadget appears on the dashboard, you can place it where you want and edit the gadget options to change the format and other settings of the gadget. You can save dashboard gadgets as gadget files using Visualization Platform." </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had not managed to find the way to save a gadget or use a gadget file. Please, could you explain me how this option should be used?.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What is the preferred way to build custom visualizations in order to be used by non IT people in their own dashboards?. Is there any way to build user friendly custom gadget editors beyond the custom visualization editor interface (JS is not)?. Is there any way to build custom data selectors and make them available to final users?. In the worst case, is there any way to add new templates to the custom visualizations editor?.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
