  • Create New Limit: Opens a form where you can enter and select information for your new limits definition.
  • Upload: Allows you to add new limits to the widget’s table by specifying a CSV file from files on your local machine.
  • Download: Exports the table from the widget into a CSV file. All limits are exported, regardless of any filters applied.
