Gadgets monitor different aspects of your business's daily or weekly traffic at a location or popularity of services over a given time period. You can choose to build your gadgets based on Location or Staff. From there you will define which locations, staff and services/classes to show in your gadgets's agenda.
This feature is great for running a quick report on your company and gives you the option to pick how many days within the week ahead you want to view at once.

As an example lets say that you are interested in seeing a weekly snapshot of what is happening with all of your locations, staff and services. To add a new gadget to your account you will go to the Dashboard, click on Gadgets and click Add New Gadget.
Once you click Add New Gadget it is now time to define the information you are looking to pull to your agenda:
In our example for our Weekly Appointments Gadget we will name it "Weekly Appointments - IA" (Initial Appointment) and select the agenda for Staff, we want to show all locations and staff but we are only looking to see information regarding our service called "Initial Appointment" (IA). Since we are looking to see our weekly breakdown for where and when our staff is offering the service Initial Appointments we will select the next 7 days for the period of time and we will not skip any days. We will also include calendar sync'd events in case we have any appointments on our google calendar. Once we are done defining our agenda we will click save.
Now that we have saved our Agenda it is now saved under Dashboard > Gadgets. Under actions we will click view to run the gadget and edit to make any changes to the items defined in the agenda. If you want to remove the gadget from your account you will click the delete call to action button.
In our example we are looking to see the weekly appointments based on staff which will only including the servie Initial Appointment. When we click view we will see that information depicted over the next 7 days.
When we run the report you will see each staff member listed with the appointments broken down by date:
