What are Gadgets?
Gadgets display on the Resource Entry page, providing information or actions for various modules. They are best described as self contained webapps; widgets but with more power. Gadgets can have their own fields, HTML templates, and even accompanying scripts and stylesheets. They can interface with the API to display simple information such as the resource section, or they can perform much more complex functions, such as IP assignment in the IPAM Gadget.
