What & Why
As far as widgets go, this one is pretty darn simple; it's just a quick-launch shortcut for Arena PLM. Click on the widget and you'll get the log-in page. That's all there is to it. I wouldn't have thought that something this simple would actually be useful, but I've found it to be very convenient so I thought I'd share with the other Arena PLM users out there.
How to Download
For all the details on how to use widgets, consult the documentation on your Mac. Basically, you need to be using OS X 10.4 or higher. Click the icon below. If you are using Safari, the widget will install automagically. If you are using another browser, you'll need to unzip the downloaded file (which will then be called arena.wdgt) and put it in your /Library/Widgets directory. Then, when you start your dashboard you'll see the icon for the arena widget (shown below), drag it on to your dashboard and you are good to go.

The Legal Mumbo Jumbo
This Software is freeware. I make no claims about it's accuracy or fitness for use. On the upside, you are free to use it in any way you see fit; I won't even take your donation, much less ask for it. In addition, you are free to use the code in anyway you like. Modify it, use it to learn something about dashboard widgets, the possibilities seem endless and magical.
As part of the deal, Apple asks that I tell you the following...
Mac OS X v.10.4 Tiger is required. If you're using Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget's icon in the Widget Bar to open it. If you're using a browser other than Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, unarchive it and place it in /Library/Widgets/ in your home folder. Show Dashboard, click the plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget's icon in the Widget Bar to open it.
