# Camera Group Widget

A **Camera Group** widget allows you to display camera thumbnails from one of your camera groups on the Dashboard page. This is helpful if you want to create a shortcut to important cameras, for instance.

The following image provides an example of a Camera Group widget that displays all cameras from the "Favorites" group:\

To create a **Camera Group** widget, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Choose Data to Display

Choose a camera group to display cameras from that group in the widget. See [Create Camera Groups](/docs/watch-and-find-video/manage-cameras/camera-groups.md) for information on how to create a camera group.

### Step 2: Graph Visuals and Comparison Settings

Use the **Height** and **Width** fields to set the size of the widget. A 1 by 1 widget is the default and appears as a square on the Dashboard page, but you can input different values to change the size of the widget on the screen.

### Step 3: General Widget Settings

Fill out the following information:

1. Type a **Name** for the widget. The name appears near the top of the widget.
2. Select a **Tag**(s) for the widget. See [Dashboard Pages](/docs/understand-your-business/widget-configuration/dashboard-pages.md) for more information.
3. Type a **Description** of the widget (optional). Description text appears near the bottom of the widget when you hover over the widget.
4. Choose a visibility option for the widget:
   * **Private**: The widget is only visible on the user account that created the widget.
   * **Public**: The widget is visible to all Solink users within your company.
5. Select **Create Widget** to create the widget. It then appears on the **Dashboard** page.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.solink.com/docs/understand-your-business/create-widgets/camera-group-widget.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
