Claromentis’ intranet homepage designs are made up of widgets or as they’re also known – intranet homepage components.
The configuration of these intranet widgets define the overall layout and offer intranet users a unique, intuitive experience on their intranet.
Below is a list of our most popular intranet widgets:
Corporate Social Networking
Employees can collaborate, share links, documents or files, ‘like’ other comments or tag employees using our corporate social networking application, Innovate. The social networking component provides employees with an overview of recent activity and comments.
Intranet News Slider
Horizontal Homepage Slider
Vertical Homepage Slider
Time Zone Clocks
Analog clocks can be set to different time zones and are extremely useful for organisations with geographically dispersed offices.
Calendar Activities
A list of upcoming events present in the Calendar application are pulled through to this mini event component.
Multiple RSS Reader
Various information channels can be pulled into the intranet homepage using the RSS Reader – providing relevant third-party news sources straight to the intranet.
Dynamic Application Slider
Most frequently used applications appear at the beginning of the list and the component is fully permission-based.
Poll and Surveys
A poll or survey can be configured to discover employees’ opinions on any topic.
Policies Awaiting My Action
A list of policies which require an employee’s attention.
Mini Calendar Widget
This is a small version of our calendar that highlights events and links directly to the main application.
Employee of the Month Award Widget
Employees can cast votes to determine the winner of each month’s employee award. After the closing date, the employee with the most votes is automatically announced.
Facebook and Twitter Widget
Updates from the organisation’s Twitter and Facebook accounts can be viewed on the organisation’s intranet using this social widget.

Interesting list for sure. It does beg the question though – they may be the most popular widgets, but how useful are they? How do these widgets help people get their jobs done? That’s the question I asked in this article – http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/kmc_homepagesthathelp/index.html – and I think it should be applied to each and every one of those widgets.
Nice clear styling and good use of dynamic content – ‘like’
Hey Alex, that’s a very interesting question and article – thanks for sharing. The popularity of a widget certainly does not determine its usefulness but saying that, it may act as an indicator. I think we’ll pose the question to our client community in an attempt to gain some statistics and share the results on a blog post – thanks again for getting in touch.
Thanks, Phil – the design team will be very happy to hear your feedback!
