Widget composition

Which widgets an account actually carries, as distinct from who may view or edit each widget kind. Not every Class A account carries all 22 widgets: a default set is chosen once by the account role, and anything beyond it exists because somebody added it on that account.

Read-only register

Composition is decided in the Strategic Account Management application, on the account working area in edit wall mode. This register records what that application does; nothing on this screen changes it.

Mastered in
Strategic Account Management (Platform 6)

A change to composition is made on the account working area in edit wall mode in that application, not here. Whether composition should move into this administration application is answered by the recorded position below.

Recorded position

Recorded position — Anca Sandu, 11 September 2026. Widget composition is not administrable in this application. The widget library is fixed in code, because every widget is a built screen and none can be created from a settings page. The default set an account starts with is also fixed at build time: it applies only when an account is created, would change rarely, and is keyed on the integrator distinction that Dynamics cannot yet supply (SA-01 to SA-03). Which widgets one account carries stays with the account manager on the account working area in the Strategic Account Management application. This is a proposal from the delivery side, not a client ruling. If it is wrong, raise a change request against this screen.

The widget library — 22 kinds

Every widget kind the Strategic Account Management application knows about. All 22 are marked portal capable in the source; whether a kind is allowed to reach a customer at all is the customer exposure ceiling, on its own screen.

Rules recorded

  • Only Class A accounts receive a default widget set. Accounts of other types start with none.
  • The account role picks the default set once, at seeding. It is never a runtime filter: an account's stored widgets always win. Changing an account's role later does not re-compose its wall.
  • Users can add a widget of one kind only: custom report. It is scoped to the account it was added on. Custom reports are also the only kind a user can delete rather than hide.
  • View and edit rights resolve per widget kind per account, never per instance. An account carrying two custom reports cannot give one of them a different right from the other.

Open questions raised here

Three open questions, raised by this register, unattributed and undated — they are ours, not client rulings. They also appear on the Open questions screen. A fourth, SA-05, is answered by the recorded position above.

  1. SA-06Widget composition

    A custom report is recorded as a Power BI embed, but the prototype only links out to the report. Embed or link in the build?

    Owner: Not attributed — raised here, undated

    Unanswered
  2. SA-07Widget composition

    Rights resolve per widget kind, not per widget instance. Is that acceptable for accounts carrying several custom reports?

    Owner: Not attributed — raised here, undated

    Unanswered
  3. SA-08Widget composition

    The Strategic Account Management seed rewrites external link widgets to open in app when it creates instances, contradicting the widget library. Which is correct?
