## Adding a widget to a dashboard

Select **Add Widget** in the upper-right corner of the dashboard area to add widgets from the widgets library to the **Dashboard**.![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1740/add_widget_icon.png)

In this example, you’ll add the **My Tasks** widget for all desktop users.![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1740/my_tasks.png)

You can also save filters for the widgets that display within the tab. For instance, adding a **My Tasks** widget automatically applies the **Open** task filter to show only tasks that haven't been completed.![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1740/filters.1281x0-is.png)

Click the filter icon to add additional filters as you see fit.

Predefined filters that are saved by the administrator in a dashboard can't be changed by the users or groups to whom the dashboard is assigned.

## Adding an HTML widget to your dashboard

Sometimes you might want to add informational widgets to your dashboards. These can be used for announcements, help text, or anything else you might want to communicate to users. To do this, add an **Html Panel** widget.![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1740/html_panel.png)

Once you've added the Html Panel widget, select **Editor** in the widget's header to customize the content. Note that you may have to double-click.![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1740/editor.595x0-is.png)
