Admin widgets are building blocks of HostBill admin dashboard. 

Each staff member can have his own dashboard - with different set of widgets, in different order and state (collapsed/expanded).

Widgets can be:

• Added - using 'add new widget' button staff member can activate inactive widgets.
• Collapsed/Expanded - widget state is stored, so with each page refresh/revisit widget will remember where and in which state it was
• Moved - by grabbing header you can drag and drop widget into one of available panels:
  • Top panel - full width
  • Left and right panels - 50% width
  • Bottom panel - full width
• Removed - By clicking on "x" staff member can remove widget from his dashboard
• "Full screen" - by clicking on expand button widget can be moved to top-full width panel
• Refreshed - data in widget can be ajax-loaded using refresh button
