• The layout you create will be available across the three form factors (web, phone, and tablet). Layout properties such as Records per row will apply only to web right now; they'll automatically be optimized when they're accessed from smartphones and tablet.
  
• The layout designer will be similar to what you're using to customize the panels in your pages:

JavaScript support

Availability: Creator 5 accounts that own Premium and above subscriptions from our latest pricing plan

• A widget is an independent and dynamic app hosted on a Zoho server. It can consist of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, font, and text files.
  
• Widget creation will be in your app's Settings, and you can add them to the pages in that app.
  
• Widgets can communicate with your Creator app via our JS SDK, which provides JS wrappers for our REST APIs.
  

The following will be supported:

• HTML tags, up to HTML 5, are supported.
  
• Inline, embedded, and external CSS from your own or third-party frameworks.
  
• Third-party JS libraries and frameworks. You can be add them to the project that you upload to Creator, or can link to them via external static or CDN servers.
  
• Embedding third-party cloud apps and their UI components via their JS SDK.
  
• Communicating with third-party services such as Google, Facebook, and Twilio, via their JS client SDK. This will require white-listing the required service, which will be done on our end, at your request.
  

The following will not be allowed:

• HTTP and Ajax calls via third-party libraries.
  

Other aspects:

• Widgets you add to your pages will be accessible from mobile devices—read native mobile apps and PWA for iOS and Android. Though take note that your widgets will have to be built with the required responsiveness to fit all three form factors—web, phone, and tablet.
  

Limits:

• Each file that's part of your widget cannot exceed 5 MB.
  
• 50 widgets per Zoho account.
  
• Supported file formats: txt, md, xml, dre, jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, svg, css, js, html, json, woff, woff2, ttf, eot, mp3, mp4, mp5, webm.
  
• Widgets will not be part of backup-restore, DS export, and duplication of applications. For widgets included in pages, a shell structure will be created in the DS/backup, but you'll have to reupload your widget's ZIP file. (This limit will be overcome in the following updates.)
