Setting Description
Title

Enter a title for the widget. The title appears as a heading above the widget's contents. You should use the title to provide context to the widget and better structure a page's content by clearly denoting different sections.

When entering a title, you do so only for your currently selected language. If your digital workplace supports multiple languages, you should select  Translation and enter a title for each supported language. 

This field can contain a maximum of 140 characters.
Title link

Enter the URL of a location in your digital workplace. Users who click the widget's title, if it has one, will go to this location. Whether you enter the link as a relative URL or an absolute URL does not matter; it will convert to an absolute URL the next time you edit the widget.

This field can contain a maximum of 2,083 characters.
Description

Enter a description for the widget. The description appears between the title and the widget's contents. You can use this text to provide users with information about the widget.

When entering a description, you do so only for your currently selected language. If your digital workplace supports multiple languages, you should select  Translation and enter a description for each supported language.
General options
Setting Description
URL

Enter the URL of the content that you want to embed.

Some sites do not allow their content to be embedded. If a site provides an embed code, you can copy the URL found in that and paste it into this field.

For example, if you wanted to display a video from YouTube, you would generate an embed code on their website and copy the URL portion of that code to be used in the URL field. 

The iFrame code could appear similar to:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kt4yf3CCNv0?si=BLXAuXUmJhBy7c_K" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The URL would be: 

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kt4yf3CCNv0?si=BLXAuXUmJhBy7c_K
