Every IDX Broker account includes several widgets you can use to place IDX content on any webpage. A widget is a snippet of code that is generated from inside your IDX Control Panel. This code can then be copied and pasted into a webpage. The widget will be displayed exactly where you place that code. Widgets are found in your IDX account by clicking Designs in the main menu, and Widgets in the submenu.

• Use the Edit icon to change details about this widget, like the search criteria used, the size or custom CSS.
• Use the Preview icon to open your widget in a new browser tab or window so you can see what the final version will look like on your website.
• Use the View Code icon  to view the widget code you will need to copy and paste onto your website.

• Use the  Trash icon to delete a single widget from the list.

If you need to delete multiple items at once, click the checkboxes to the left of each widget's name, and then click the Delete link at the bottom of the screen.

To rename a widget, either double-click the widget's name or click the Edit icon that appears to the right of the name when you hover your mouse over it. Type a new name for you widget in the text box that appears and then press Enter to save it.

Searching and Filtering

You can Search for any widget by name using the search box on the top-right of the list of widgets.

If you have a large number of saved widgets, you can use Filter Widgets feature. Click the link at the top of the screen, and a drop-down menu will appear. Select the type of widget for which you are searching and click Apply. Your list will now display only widgets of the type you selected.

Considerations

• Double check that there are results for the criteria that you've chosen. If there are no results, the widget will not show up.
