Text Area Properties

Field Name	Description
Target > Output Value	Provide the target data source to send information.
Source > Input Value	Provide the input data source to receive values for the text area.
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 plug-in. To show the hidden plug-in in Operations Hub new layout, go to Page Visuals and under Action column, select for the hidden plug-in. See Page Visuals Tab.
