In its simplest form, a data widget displays the data as a table with column and rows. HTML / Bootstrap can be included to create more complex looking widgets and display more than just text.
Examples of Data Widgets
Widget Options for Data Widget Type

Header Visible
When ticked, the following fields appear: Header Display Type, Header Text, Header Report and Header No Records Message.

When ticked, the following fields appear: Footer Display Type, Footer Text, Footer User Report and Footer No Records Message.
A footer can optionally added to a report that allows users to view the full details of the selected user report. This appears as the View Details link on the bottom of the widget.
Sticky Header and Footer
Forces the table header and footer to be always visible when the table is scrolled. Setting this to false may resolve issues with displaying HTML elements inside of Data widget types,.
