Widget or customize an existing one

Hello Everyone,

How would you add a new widget or customize an existing one?

Hi @RushiR17448058,

In Pega Constellation, you don’t directly code widgets like in traditional UI. Instead, customization happens through configuration and reuse of view components and design templates.

–>To add a new widget:
Use App Studio to create a new view or data relationship.

Configure it using available design templates (like list, form, or summary).

Add the view to a page, section, or layout using regions (like main, side, top).

Bind the widget to relevant data via field groups or data references.

–>To customize an existing widget:
Open the widget’s configuration in App Studio.

Modify labels, fields, visibility conditions, or even add helper text.

Use DX API or custom components (if needed) for deeper control (handled by developers if advanced customization is needed).

Thanks
