You can add a widget to your IBM(R) Lotus(R) iNotesTM mail client. Widgets are external services that provide information or services, such as weather forecasts, flight schedules, or text translation. If your navigation pane includes a Widgets folder, your administrator has predefined a set of widgets for you. Click a widget to access it.
When you launch a widget, it may optionally solicit some input within a dialog, and then eventually open an external Web page in a new tab or a new browser window. You can enter any text that is required by the service (such as text to be translated by a translation service), and the application results or output is displayed.
