The gadget has the following functions:
The gadget is inactive until you sign in, because it needs to know who you are so it can display your online sessions. The sign-in panel is opened by clicking the small spanner icon that appears when you hover your mouse over the gadget.
Once you sign in to the gadget, it begins polling the Oarbits server at 1-minute intervals to retrieve any sessions you are registered for in Oarbits.
The main display window of the gadget shows one of the sessions you have registered for in Oarbits. By default this is the next scheduled session. If you are registered for more than one session, you can click the small up and down arrows below the main gadget display to display the other sessions one at a time.
For the session being displayed, the gadget shows the session name, the session start date and GMT
Note: If the session name is longer than the space available in the gadget display, the session name is truncated to fit.
If you click on the main display window of the gadget, a flyout panel appears listing the full name of the session, the date and GMT time of the session, and the people who have registered in the session.
Clicking the up and down arrows on the gadget with the flyout panel opens automatically changes the participant list to the session currently displayed in the gadget.
The flyout panel also contains a link to Oarbits. This opens Oarbits in your default web browser.
There are two links to the Gadget Help Topics - the Question mark icon on the flyout panel, and the RowPro logo on the gadget itself.
