<Tip title="Widget Parameters vs. Configuration Properties">
  **Widget parameters** are set per Gantt instance in the widget editor and control that specific chart. **Configuration properties** are set in Administration and define system-wide defaults. When a widget is first added to a page, it inherits the configuration property defaults. Once saved, the widget's own parameter values take precedence.
