You have the data. You just can’t see it.
Every day, critical decisions hide inside JD Edwards buried in reports, queries, and spreadsheets. You’ve got powerful systems, but users are forced to hunt for answers instead of acting on insights.
Users jump between dashboards, Excel, and E1 applications.
Trends go unnoticed until they become problems.
IT spends hours building the same data views over and over.
Managers are left waiting for daily or weekly reports.
How Do Widgets Work?
With widgets, you don’t need another analytics platform or complex integration. Here’s how Widgets turn your data into something you can actually see and use.
Create Widgets in Orchestrator Studio — connect to any orchestration, data set, or external API.
Add them to your E1 pages using the Page Designer — no coding required.
Visualize results instantly with badges, meters, charts, or text boxes.
Use the AI text box feature to take insights one step further. It can generate AI-written summaries of your JD Edwards or external data, providing plain-language context, trends, and recommendations.
Set thresholds and ranges to highlight performance, risks, or opportunities.
Link to Watchlists so users can take action directly from the widget.
The result?
Real-time business intelligence that’s embedded in your workflow, not hidden behind reports.
Two Ways to Get Started
Widgets unlock real-time insight directly inside EnterpriseOne, but every organization’s needs are different. Whether you want to empower your team to build widgets themselves or prefer a customized solution built for you, we make it simple.

If that sounds like you, our widget consultants can help you move from concept to live dashboard faster than ever.
Preparing to Be Ready
You may not be able to use widgets today, but you can start laying the groundwork now. We can help if:
- You’re planning a Tools upgrade to 9.2.9 in the next 6–18 months.
- You want to understand how widgets fit into your reporting and automation roadmap.
- You’d like to train your team early so they’re ready to build and manage widgets once you upgrade.

Probably Not a Fit Right Now
Widgets and our widget services may not be the best fit if:
- You don’t plan to upgrade to JDE 9.2.9 or higher.
- You’re fully invested in a third-party BI or analytics platform that meets your current needs.

That said, if you’re reconsidering your reporting tools or planning a future upgrade, we can help you explore what’s next.
