Properties
List Name | Name of the SharePoint list that contains the data to be displayed for this instance. |
site wide alert message | This text message displays on the page where the text is set on the snippet. This value would rarely be used as a site wide alert, since a better approach is to use a control item across all pages that would be set on the ak:instructionset. |
disablealert | If false, the alert message will not be displayed
If true, the alert message will be displayed |
Enable preview | Value = false for this widget |
dynamic preview | Value = true for this widget |
Displayed title | If a value is entered, then the title will appear on the header of the App. |
Icon | Selects the icon that is displayed to the left of the widget title. |
instruction set | Path to the IDS list if it exists. This value will be found on the Control App item. Example for a site wide alert message highlighted in yellow: ![]() |
cache interval | Sets the time (in secs) that the data should be saved in the local browser cache of the current user.
0 = do not cache the data for this widget -1 = use the default caching strategy set in the Digital Workplace configuration [whole number] = cache for specified time (secs) |
