Widgets and the places they go

Everything on the content is opened by clicking it in the preview. There is no list of widgets to work through and no properties panel to hunt in: click the thing you want to change, and the rail on the right becomes its settings.

The five kinds of place

What you are offered when you click depends entirely on where you clicked, because a tall column and a small square tile cannot hold the same things.

Which of these your design actually has is a layout question, not a content one — see Change a layout.

What can go where

Every widget has an article of its own — what it shows, and its settings, field by field. The tables below say which places each one fits.

Settings that apply to everything at once

The rail’s first page — the one it opens on, and the one the ← arrow always returns to — is the content itself rather than anything on it.

Two of those rows carry only an icon and their value — the fill slider directly under Appearance is the widget background, and the one below it is the corner radius. Everything else on the page is named.

Any single widget can override the font size on top of this, on its own settings page — useful where one card holds a long list and everything else is a headline.

What this does not control

• Which places exist at all. How many cards, whether there is a side column, which edge it sits on — all of that is the layout, in Change a layout.
• Playing several things in turn on the main stage — scenes, playlists and the weekly schedule are in Scenes, and the screens that interrupt themselves are in Takeovers.
• What a widget actually shows. A booking list shows the bookings that exist; a visitor list shows the visits that were invited. The screen reports, it never decides.
• Where the screen thinks it is. Widgets that need a place read the device’s location, not the content’s — see Build signage content and put it on a screen.
