Abstract: The Widgetizer allows a user to create a custom view from a data-driven application page and convert it into a widget that can then be surfaced elsewhere. The Widgetizer recognizes the types of data that the user is creating a widget for and leverages that information to recommend which layouts and elements make sense based on the type and importance of the data. The recommendations (both layout and default element settings) consider user behavior and update to reflect their preferences. The recommendations may further recognize preferences used by multiple peer users for similar data sets and update recommendations based on those behaviors. The user may customize the recommended elements and create a widget. Once a widget is created, it may also be shared with multiple users.
