1.2. Security Context

The default Security Context (3DEXPERIENCE) is now automatically set when a user logs in into Helium application.

2. Widget

2.1. Widget customizations

Just like for dashboards, an end user can do certain customizations on widget level. Exact customizations available will depend on the type of widget. For example, in a Table widget the end user can customize the pagination size, column visibilities and column order (see below section).

To simplify reverting any customizations done, the standard Widget template now shows a reset icon in the header section, if the Widget has been customized compared to the original state.
