# TO-DO widget

> [HTML Version](todo-widget.html)

Use** TO-DO widgets** to represent and describe other widgets that need to be added to a from or page in the future. This is especially useful for configuring complex forms that take a long time to set up.

A  **TO-DO widget** is not shown to users and is only displayed on the modeling canvas in the interface designer.

## Add widget

To configure the widget, drag it to the canvas from the right panel of the [interface designer](interface_designer.md) or click **+Widget**. To learn more, see [Form templates](360029250931.md).

Fill out the settings in the pop-up window.

In the **Description\*** field describe what widget needs to be added to the form or page.

Click **Save**.

After that, the description of the **TO-DO widget** will appear in the general [TO-DO list](todolist.md). From there you can quickly go to the interface designer and continue configuring the form.

Since **TO-DO widgets** are not displayed in the user interface, there is no need to configure the settings on the **Events** and **System** tabs .

To make the changes available to users, click **Save** and **Publish** in the designer's toolbar.

## Delete widget

To delete the widget from the form, select it on the canvas and click on the recycle bin icon. You can add the widget once again as described above.

The information about the deleted widget is stored in the **TO-DO List** for 30 days.

## Use case

Let's say a company is setting up an [external portal](service-portal.md). On one of the pages, users must be able to submit reports. The business analyst, in order to coordinate their action with the person setting up the forms, adds **TO-DO widgets** to the modeling canvas and describes the functionality that has to be implemented in those areas.

These** TO-DO widgets** will not be displayed to users once the page is published, they will be available in the interface designer only. The developer who is setting up the portal can use the [TO-DO List](todo.md) to quickly open the interface designer and configure the from according to the instructions provided in the widgets.
