Important Things to Note:

• The Visual Initiative List widget is a single widget across your entire Brightidea system, including both Enterprise and all Communities. 
  • Note: Changing the visibility of an Initiative at the Enterprise level in the Visual Initiative List configuration will also change the Initiative visibility in the widget in any Community.
  • At this time, the system does not support separately configured Visual Initiative Lists at the Community level.
• Initiative images are reflected in Initiative & Enterprise level search results:

• All changes- including customizations- made to the Large List widget will also be made to the Small List widget.
• All Initiative(s) in the List respect group & domain restrictions set in Enterprise
• When a System Admin creates a new Initiative- regardless of group or domain- it will be visible to that System Admin only.
  • Note: Other System / Initiative Administrators will not be able to view the new Initiative until a group or domain restriction is set.
• Custom CSS can be applied to both the Large List and Small List widgets.
• At this time, Label Editing is not yet available for these widgets.
• If the widgets are inadvertently deleted by an Admin, all data will repopulate when the widgets are re-added.
