Form widget

Widget Name - Form

Category - Pro

Description: It is a native form of Elementor, but you should add Send to Dataverse action after submit.

All you need to do is drag the Form widget into the content area, create the necessary fields and Save their ID.

Next, navigate to Actions After Submit, click + and add the Send to Dataverse action.

To choose a table save the form and get back to the Pages -> All pages and find the page and click Configure Binding. Here you can choose a table for new records.

Click Edit with Elementor and Send to Dataverse. Here you will see the chosen table in the Table dropdown. After selecting an action, for example create, you need to add Fields Mapping. Click +ADD ITEM. Here, fill in Form field (which is the field ID that was saved previously) and Table column (which is the logical name for the column) for each field.

note

To ensure updated field values are displayed after submission, set the Do not reset form values after submitting option to Yes.

• Legacy

Twig widget

Widget Name - Twig Template

Category - Dataverse

Description: A simple and visual widget. Write your twig code and you will immediately see the generated content in the content area.

Field widget

Widget Name - Dataverse Field

Category - Dataverse

Description: To use this feature, simply select a table and then choose a column from that table which you wish to display.

Dynamic tags

One of the simplest methods to display a field value for any record is by using dynamic tags. First, configure the binding for the page by selecting a table and the binding method. Then, return to page editing and, in the Elementor Text Editor widget, click the Dynamic Tags button (symbolized by a coins icon). Next, select the 'Dynamic field' option and click the settings button. Now, you can choose any field from which to display a record value.

Date Time fields in the Dataverse field widget

You can see several options for Date Time and Date Only fields. For example, if we have a Date Time value of 2025-10-01T21:00:00Z, the field will display the following values for a user in the UTC -4h timezone:

• Column Name Only: 2025-10-01T21:00:00Z (No timezone conversion)
• Column Name + Local DateTime: 2025-10-01T17:00:00 -04:00 (Timezone conversion according to the user’s timezone)
• Column Name + Local Date: 2025-10-01 (Date part only, converted to the user’s timezone)
• Column Name + Local Time: 17:00:00 (Time part only, converted to the user’s timezone)

Default record in editing mode

You can enter a record GUID to be used as the default record in the page editing context. Simply find the page, click Configure Binding, select a table and enter an id in the Default record textbox.
