Apps - Widget - Accordion icon.png This type of widget belongs to the Basic category in the widget library. It enables you to create an accordion menu containing a list of sections displayed one below the other. These sections can contain text or images, point to a HTML page, or call a page from the app or from another app. This is used to display a maximum amount of information in the least number of pages.
