Widget Editor Role

Data Visualization Widget

The Data Visualization widget allows you to embed accessible, interactive data visualizations created using Everviz (formerly Highcharts Cloud). Dozens of chart types and variations are available, including line, spline, area, column, bar, pie, and scatter charts.

Thumbnail List

A Thumbnail List allows Site Builders to feature one or more "thumbnail"-sized photos with accompanying title text (which is linked to either internal or external content), with the option to add secondary text as well.

People Feature

The People feature allows you to create content for individual people, which can be featured/listed in a few different ways. This feature is a good way to create and showcase a directory of people on your site.

Twitter Widget

Twitter Widget allows site builders to add Twitter timeline widgets to pages. You need a Twitter account to create these widgets, but you do not need a Twitter developer account or API key. Please note: As of July 1 2023, Twitter platform issues are interfering with proper display of the widget.

Berkeley Events calendar widget

The Berkeley Events calendar widget enables you to embed a short list of events from the Berkeley Events calendar on your pages.

Photo Thumbnails

Photo thumbnails allow Site Builders to add a widget containing a photo with a color band (all Berkeley Brand colors are available) added to the bottom of the photo. These Photo Thumbnails are meant to link to either internal or external content.

Use and Change Layouts

There are a variety of pre-configured available layouts with a variety of regions (hero, header, sidebar, etc.) on your Open Berkeley pages to help feature and organize your content.
