~Isaac AsalulyakolMay 29, 2013, 8:06 PM18 PostsHidden ToolbarIf you are looking for the Widgets toolbar in the 9.0 Notes client, all toolbars are hidden by default unless you are editing a document. You can disable this feature by following this tech note: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21627431 The actions on the Widgets toolbar are also found in the Tools/Widgets menu.

~Isaac AsalulyakolMay 30, 2013, 2:27 PM18 PostsPreferences/PoliciesThe creation actions can be hidden for two reasons: 1. The widgets UI is not enabled. Check to see if the UI is enabled by going to File/Preferences and choosing Widgets. 2. You could have a policy (or settings in plugin_customization.ini) that disables your ability to create widgets. If you are policies, check the Desktop Settings 'Widgets' tab. The setting below will allow you to create all widget types. There is detailed info on Widget policies here: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/widgets-policies-and-roll-out-best-practices The default settings will not allow you to create any widget type:
~Mario BrenutherflarMay 31, 2013, 2:34 PM20 PostsStill no luck As you can see from the image below the policy's should be fine in regards to creating widgets, (When I had client 8.5.3 I had no problems.) When I look in my preferences this is what I see, Although I am still unable to create a widget; Any Idea's?
~Isaac AsalulyakolMay 31, 2013, 3:06 PM18 PostsScreen shots are not matching upThe screen shots you provided do not match up. The policy screen shot shows that you are not setting the 'Show the My Widgets panel in the sidebar', but the Widgets preference page screen shot is showing that the setting is being pushed from policy as 'Yes' and 'Set Value and Prevent Changes' (the check box is checked and not changeable). Also, policy screen shot shows that you set 'Install Widgets from Catalog' as 'Enabled', but the Widgets preference page screen shot is showing that the setting is being pushed from policy as 'Disabled' (the categories section is disabled). So I think that there may be another policy used for this user. If you have an Admin client, you can run a Policy Synopsis on your user to see what settings are being push to your user: 1. Open your server in the Admin client. 2. Go to People and Right click on your user and choose Policy Synopsis... 3. In the dialog that opens, choose 'Detailed' and then choose 'Dynamic Desktop'. 4. A new document will be created in the 'Policy Synopsis Database'. The database should open for you. Choose the new document and open it. This will open the Synopsis for your user. Look for 'createTool' to see what the setting is and which Desktop Setting document it is coming from. For example: If it is set to false, you are allowed to create all widget types. If set to true, you will only be able to create the widget types listed in the createToolProviderIDs list and if createToolProviderIDs is empty or set to '.' you are not allowed to create any widgets.
