Notepad

The notepad widget adds a rich-text block to a dashboard. Use it for section headers, dashboard context, team-facing annotations, or embedded screenshots — anything that isn’t data but adds narrative or structure to the report.

​

When to use a notepad

• Section headers between widget groups.
• Executive summaries at the top of a dashboard.
• Client-facing explanations of what a metric or dashboard shows.
• Screenshots or logos embedded inline with data widgets.

​

Add a notepad

Click + Add widget in the dashboard header and pick Notepad from the catalog. A blank notepad appears on the grid — resize and reposition it like any other widget.

​

Editing content

The notepad supports:

• Rich text — headings, bold, italic, bullet lists, numbered lists, links.
• Images — drag-and-drop or paste an image into the editor; images upload to Adriel and render inline.

Only one notepad can be in editing mode at a time on a dashboard. Clicking into a second notepad automatically closes the first. Changes save automatically when the notepad loses focus. A confirmation toast appears on save; if the save fails, an error toast appears.

​

Duplicating a notepad

When a notepad is duplicated, the original content is copied into the new notepad — including embedded images. The duplicated widget opens in editing mode automatically.

​

On shared or embedded dashboards

Notepad images embedded in a dashboard render correctly on:

• Owner-viewed dashboards — images load directly from Adriel’s media store using the owner’s session.
• Shared and embedded dashboards — images load via a signed token so viewers without direct Adriel access can still see them.

No configuration is needed — the sharing token handoff happens automatically.
