And I need this gadget can disappear after login.

Does any one know how to do that?

Hi,

You do not need to make a new gadget. You can customize System Dashboard and change the content of the Welcome Gadget. Below documentation will help you achieve that:

Or modify existing login gadget itself:

I hope it will help,

Hi Mirek,

Thanks for your response. But I don't want welcome gadget always keep in system dashboard.

I need it only to show on login page and "disappear" after login.

Do you have any good suggestion?

Thanks!

Hi Anne,

In this situation I suggested also changing login gadget itself.

You can extend this gadget, add some text and it should dissapear after login as you want.

Hi Mirek,

Since we hope the login page can become more balance, so there are two solutions:

1. Add a new gadget on the left side and it will not show after login.

2. Modify login gadget and make it on the center of page.

Are these solutions possible?

Thanks!
