Configuring a Widget

Configuring a widget is a simple matter of opening it in Content Studio and setting its properties. There are very few properties that must be set in order for a widget to work, and most properties have sensible defaults, so configuring widgets is in general not particularly difficult. Moreover, many properties are common to most or all widget types, so once you have learned what these common properties control, learning to use new widget types does not require much additional effort.

Widget properties are divided into groups and displayed on separate tabs. The following three tabs are common to almost all widget types:

• General

• Default

• Advanced

The properties most commonly displayed on these tabs are described in the following sections. Some widget types have only these three tabs. Other widget types have additional tabs containing widget-specific properties that are for the most part not discussed in this manual. For information about widget-specific properties, see the widget descriptions in the Escenic Widget Framework Core Widgets Reference.
