Documents list
The Documents list widget can display a list of files from a document library.
You must have files already uploaded to a previously created library in order to use this widget.
You can display documents as a list or in a table format:
When you drag the Documents list widget into a page, it will display all documents from all libraries by default.
To change this, click the Edit button in the upper-right corner of the widget.

List settings
On this tab you can choose how to display the events you have selected.
By default, the events will be paginated within the widget’s content area, and up to 20 event cards will be displayed per page. You can limit this by selecting one of the following options:
· Use paging
The system can divide the document list into pages to save space.
In the input field you can specify how many documents per page you want to display.
· Use limit
The system displays only a limited number of the documents you have chosen to display.
In the input field, you can specify how many documents you want to display.
· No limit and paging
This option should not be used as it can result in an extremely long page and slow load times.
In the “Sort documents” dropdown menu, you can select a sorting method for the documents. By default, the most recently published is displayed first.
The “List template” dropdown menu is where you can select the list or table format.
Single item settings
You won’t need to change anything here. The documents will either open within the
browser in a new tab, or prompt the user to download it when clicked.
