Can widgets be modified? If so, how to do it?
I am using a widget which is very useful to what I am doing. However, I like to modify it a little. Is it possible to modify a widget, if so how do I go about it ?
The Widget name is "Work Items". This widget allows you to select options to show priority, severity .... What I need to do is to add a top row that show the names of the columns like Severity, Priority, Work item ... |

Hi Mounir,
You can create your own widgets using Eclipse BIRT framework. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/views/rational/libraryview.jsp?search_by=Creating+custom+reports+with+BIRT+and+Rational+Team+Concert The articles will help you with report design. Then, you can use BIRT reports as widgets if you size the report correctly.
And then edit the process template to add widget as documented here:
If you just want to modify one of the bulit-in reports, they are available with Eclipse client installation. Download the RTC Eclipse client if you don't have it and search the installation directory for *.rptdesign files, which can be opened and modified in BIRT. All designs with "Micro" in the name are already prepared for using in dashboards. |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

I don't think it's possible to add the column name on existing widget.
