Recommended Image Sizes: With a variety of devices used across the World Manager platform there is a variety of sizing used with Image Widgets. For a computer screen at 1920px X 1080px resolutions we recommend:
| Preferred Column | Width | Height |
|---|---|---|
| Left Hand Side | 810px | 200-300px |
| Right Hand Side | 400px | 200-300px |
11. Link: Enter a URL the Image widget links to [optional]
Tip: By default, image widget links open in a new tab/window. Untick the "Open in new tab" checkbox if you would like the link to open within the same window/tab when a user clicks on the image instead.
12. Max Height*: Specify a maximum height for the widget
Attention: Check the tool tip for minimum and maximum allowed heights in pixels (px).
