Overview
Widgets are used to present data in different ways, and are also the primary mechanism to interact with data through the use of Actions. Widgets are arranged onto Boards that control layout, and Boards are organized into Stacks that are used as the primary navigation element and also tied to provisioning content.
AppBoard offers a wide variety of widgets along with an API to write custom HTML widgets, and the ability to bring in external web content through enPortal. The screenshot below shows a broad cross section of widgets shipped with AppBoard:

A widget consists of the visible components, the frame, titlebar, controls, the actual content, and optionally a status-bar which allows for quick data filtering called a Quick Filter as shown in the screenshot below.
