Target > Output Value	See Set Up Data Binding for Widgets
Source > Input Value	See Set Up Data Binding for Widgets
Use Raw Format	Select the check box to display numbers in raw format. For example, a numeric value with 5 or more decimal places is shown as it is, and not rounded off.
Number of Decimals	This option appears if you do not want to display numbers in raw format. In that case, enter the decimal places (0-7) to consider after the decimal point to format large numbers. Based on the decimals, the value is rounded off to the nearest whole number.
Height (px, %, etc)	Enter the size of the text area in pixels.
Hidden	Select this check box if you want to hide the widget. To show the hidden widget in Operations Hub new layout, go to Page Visuals and under Action column, select for the hidden widget. See Page Visuals Tab.
