(Full Screen, Tablet, Phone). For instance, the Flex Widget option will automatically add and adjust relevant content such as historical data and graphs. You can test it out with a full interactive demo.
Note: Custom Widgets are designed to take up the full width of their parent containers. So, to adjust the widget size only for different screen sizes you can change the width of the parent container for the widget (e.g., DIV, SPAN or other container).
