An Extensible Markup Language (XML) file created in BIRT 360 that supports visualization of data or provides data selection on a BIRT dashboard. The two supported types of gadget files are:
An Actuate gadget, using the Actuate specification, is rendered using Actuate JSAPI, accesses Actuate BIRT data objects and files, and is either embedded in the dashboard page or shared as a separate file. An Actuate gadget can render web content such as a BIRT report, a BIRT Reportlet, an external web page, or HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code.
A Google® gadget, using the Google specification, is rendered in an iframe, is stored externally, and is not embedded in the dashboard design file. A Google gadget can communicate with other gadgets on the same BIRT dashboard.
