'Countdown' Widget


Brightidea's Countdown widget provides an elegant, built-in solution for adding a simple countdown to Initiative pages.

  • The widget can be added at the Initiative level from the widget drop-down menu:
  • Once added, the Countdown widget will appear on the page:

  • Admins can configure the following:
    • Countdown Title
    • End Date and Time
    • End Message
  • Once the configuration is set, select the Pencil icon again to save the changes.
  • When the Countdown time is complete, the End Message will appear within the widget:

Important Notes

  • The Countdown widget will display based on the timezone indicated by the logged-in user's device settings.
  • The Countdown widget and the Phase widget are not synced and must be configured separately

    Where do I add the widget from? I know you say to begin at the Webstorm setup, but I have 13 categories on the left side of my screen. Where, exactly, should I start?

    Hi Jennifer,

    You can add this widget from the widget drop-down menu,

    https://support.brightidea.com/hc/en-us/articles/205840517-Everything-You-Need-to-Know-About-Widgets-

    Keep in mind, it's not available on all pages. Also, if you are using the new Apps with the new responsive home page, that does not support widgets at all.

    Thank you,
    Brightidea Support
