    Thank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve researching implementing this enhancement and have determined we will not pursue it at this time.

    There are several limitations to updating the font so that it is bolder. The biggest impact is that by making the font bolder it will shift the font and take up more room. Every report in the system would need to be reviewed and most likely updated as data would get pushed off the report rendering them unusable.

    Thank you,

    Thank you for this idea request and participating in voting.

    We suggest using the “Force Widget Suggestions” This process will re-suggest the widget to all users that are currently not using the widget.

    While this option will not force widgets on users, there are technical difficulties that would delay this enhancement. We are taking this request into consideration and working on a Qmlativ solution. At this time we will no longer be considering this enhancement for SMS 2.0.

    Thank you!

    Or give a mass add option to give certain groups specific widgets. Another idea would be to give new employees specific widgets upon set up or import like you can give them time off set ups.
