Widget modes

In addition to the template, widgets can have different modes. Based on the selected modes the way widget is embedded into your web page changes.

There are there modes options to choose from

Floating widget

Floating widgets load on top of the contents of an existing web page. The floating widgets can have a dedicated widget launcher button.

Inline widget

Inline widgets appear ‘inline’ with the contents of the webpage. They load within an ‘iframe’ which can be embedded within any page of a web app or a mobile app.

Bar widget

This is a special type of widget that appears as an announcement bar either on the top or bottom of the web page. You can use bar widgets to display important release announcements.

Releases published on the bar widgets have a set expiry period after which they stop showing up.

Here are the settings specific to the bar widget

1. Select the bar widget mode while creating the widget. This mode cannot be changed once widget is created.

2. Select a background color and font color suitable to the look and feel of the web page where you are going to embed this widget.

3. Select bar position - Top or Bottom

4. Expiry - Set the expiry period. You can choose anything from 2/7/15/30 days.

5. Highlight - Enter the widget highlight text here. This will act as the title of your announcement.

6. Widget text - this is the content of your announcement. You can include ARN variables like [VersionName] here. You can include hyperlinks to your release pages or confluence page. In the hyperlinked, you can also use URL variables like [releasePageURL] or [confluenceURL]
