Text widget

The Text widget is a free-text field that allows you to add text to the dashboard. You can use it, for example, to inform users your latest data governance news, point users to certain pages with hyperlinks to a specific view and so on.

When you add content to a Text widget, you can:

  • Use the rich text editor in the Content tab, to format your text.
  • Click , to edit the HTML source code.
Warning 

The text editor supports most HTML elements, inline CSS styling and table (< t >) structures. However, this means an attacker could potentially execute an XSS attack by injecting malicious HTML. However, you can automatically remove the following HTML elements to improve security:

  • script
  • svg
  • frame
  • frameset
  • iframe
  • any event handlers
  • any JavaScript

You can enable this in Collibra Console. For more information, see the Troubleshooting section.
