Adding a Monitor Requests widget to the admin dashboard enables you to view all request activity for specific processes, regardless of who submitted the requests. This provides read-only access to monitor the status and history of requests, making it convenient to oversee process activity, identify trends, and ensure compliance without the ability to modify or delete requests. The widget also supports filtering and searching, enabling you to locate and review relevant requests for better oversight and process transparency. ## Adding a Monitor Requests widget To add a Monitor Requests widget, follow the steps below: 1. Go to the [Dashboards layout](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/configuring-dashboards.md) page for a dashboard. 2. Click **Add Widget** in the upper-right corner of the page. 3. On the pop-up that appears, select **Monitor Requests** and click **Add Widget** to proceed. Click **Cancel** to terminate the operation. Newly added widgets appear at the bottom of the dashboard. Scroll down to find, move, or edit them. ## Widget actions - Use **Search** to find a request by its ID, description, process, or requester. - Click the **Filter** icon in the upper-right corner of the widget to apply filters and view only specific data subsets. Click **Close** in the lower-right corner to exit the filter pop-up, and **Clear All** to reset all the filters. Users cannot change these predefined filters if the dashboard is assigned to them by an admin. - Click the **Refresh** icon in the upper-right corner of the widget to update requests with the latest data. ## Changing the widget layout You can resize the widget for improved readability and layout fit. As you resize, the number of rows adjusts dynamically based on the widget height, ensuring optimal visibility of the requests content. ### Editing the table To configure whether to adjust the row height of the widget dynamically or not: 1. Click the three dots icon in the upper-right corner of the widget. 2. Select the **Edit table** option from the dropdown. 3. On the pop-up that appears, toggle between dynamic or fixed row heights for the widget: - Dynamic — Table rows fill available widget height. - Fixed — Fixed number of table rows. 4. Click **Close** to save changes and exit the pop-up. ## Editing widget settings To edit widget settings: 1. Click the three dots icon in the upper-right corner of the widget and select the **Edit widget** option from the dropdown. 2. On the pop-up that appears, you can edit the following settings: - **Widget name** — Modify the label that appears on the widget header. - **Link/unlink widget content and settings** - Linking keeps the widget content and configurations consistent across all screen sizes. - Unlinking enables you to customize the widget layout or content independently for each screen size — useful for optimizing display for mobile vs. desktop. - Relinking restores shared behavior, overriding any screen-specific edits made while unlinked. - **Add/delete widget on a screen** - Click the **Add** icon to include the widget on additional screen sizes. - Click the **Delete** icon to remove the widget from a particular screen size without affecting its presence on others. 3. Click the **Close** icon to save changes and exit the pop-up. ## Deleting the widget To delete the widget: 1. Click the three dots icon in the upper-right corner of the widget. 2. Select the **Delete widget** option from the dropdown. ## Saving changes Once you finish customizing the widget: - Click **Save dashboard** in the upper-right corner to apply the changes. - Click **Discard** to cancel any unsaved edits. ## Next steps Refer to the guides below to learn about the following widgets and their configuration: - [Report](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-a-report-to-a-dashboard.md) - [My Tasks](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-my-tasks-widget-to-dashboard.md) - [My Requests](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-my-requests-widget.md) - [Manage Requests](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-manage-requests-widget.md) - [KPI’s](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-a-kpi-widget.md) - [HTML Panel](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-an-html-widget-to-your-dashboard.md) - [Today’s Messages](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-today-messages-widget.md) --- ## Related pages - [Adding a KPI’s widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-a-kpi-widget.md) - [Adding a report widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-a-report-to-a-dashboard.md) - [Enhance your dashboard with report widgets](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-a-report-to-a-dashboard-legacy.md) - [How to add widgets to your dashboard](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-an-html-widget-to-your-dashboard-legacy.md) - [Adding a DashForm widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-dashform-widget.md) - [Adding an HTML Panel widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-an-html-widget-to-your-dashboard.md) - [Adding Manage Requests widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-manage-requests-widget.md) - [Adding a My Requests widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-my-requests-widget.md) - [Adding a My Tasks widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-my-tasks-widget-to-dashboard.md) - [Adding a Today’s Messages widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/adding-today-messages-widget.md) - [How to assign and share dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/assigning-and-sharing-dashboards-legacy.md) - [Managing roles and permissions for dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/assigning-and-sharing-dashboards.md) - [Customize and enhance your dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/configuring-dashboards-legacy.md) - [View or edit a dashboard layout](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/configuring-dashboards.md) - [How to create and manage dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/creating-dashboards.md) - [Streamline your workflow with our dashboard interface](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/dashboard-interface-legacy.md) - [How to create and manage dashboards](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/creating-dashboards-legacy.md) - [Streamline your workflows with launch buttons](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/launch-buttons-legacy.md) - [Accessing dashboards and navigating the interface](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/dashboard-interface.md) - [Customize dashboards for improved user experience](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/legacy-dashboard.md) - [Maximize dashboard capabilities with the HTML Panel widget](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/using-the-dashboard-html-panel-widget-legacy.md) - [Customize dashboards for improved user experience](/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/settings/dashboards/modern-dashboard.md)
