Widget templates
Default template
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
Select the bar widget mode while creating the widget. This mode cannot be changed once widget is created.
