Widget Name	Description
Competencies	This widget displays Competencies awarded to users within the LMS. You can add up to five (5) Competencies. For the best display, place in a -vertical--horizontal placeholder.
Course Enrollment Status - By Course	This widget displays details on specific Courses and shows how learners in specific departments are progressing and completing training, based on their enrollment status. It will help you keep track of how well courses are performing (e.g., mandatory or featured content), and options to further filter by department. For the best display: Place multiple enrollments and multiple course data using a stacked bar graph. A single course with multiple enrollments will look the best in a bar graph (not stacked). Multiple courses with single-digit enrollment statuses also look good in a bar graph
Course Enrollment Status - By Department	This widget displays information on specific departments and how they are progressing through particular types or categories of courses. It will help managers track how well their department is in completing relevant training that is relevant to their needs. At the same time, administrators can evaluate the progress of completion across departments for specific courses. For the best display: Place multiple enrollment statuses and multiple department data using a stacked bar graph. Depending on the height and width of the placeholder, consider horizontal or vertical alignment. A single department with multiple enrollments will look the best in a bar graph (not stacked). Multiple courses with single-digit enrollment statuses also look good in a bar graph.
Generated Reports	This widget will display a list of the 15 reports you have recently generated. If there isn't any data, the widget will remain empty. This widget will display nicely in any sized placeholder.
Logins	This widget will show administrators the peak times for LMS usage by user login. Depending on the filter applied to the widget (and how much content is displayed), you will want to try out different placeholders to see what fits best.
Rich Text Widget	This widget is flexible and will display elements to other LMS Administrators. You can add images, text, links, or other HTML content. You will want to try out different placeholders to see what fits best.
