Sitefinity has two types of display for each dynamic content widget: list and detail.
List views are meant to usually display more than one item, and will be what shows by default when you drop a widget onto a page.
Detail views are meant to show the details of one item, usually meant to be the link that someone would use if they were looking at only that specific item.
This is the most common technique using widgets: showing a carousel, vertical list, or other type of list of any dynamic content type.
You will typically do this when creating a page that you will link to in the single item settings in the List display view. You won't have to create these often because you usually want to link all items of one type to the same place.
You never want to do this unless the single item is the focus of the page. If you want to show a single item within the context of a page with other information on it, see the below section.
You will need to do this for some content types, because we're not making the single item the focus of the page, but we still want to show one specific item.
Configure the List template exactly as you would in the first section about configuring List templates. You'll need to do one of the following:
Then, click "Advanced" in the bottom right. Click "Model" in the window that opens. In the field at the top labelled "ContentViewDisplayMode", put the word Master replacing anything that's currently there. This will force the widget into the List view.
The reason you need to do this is because if you select a single item then Sitefinity will use the Detail view, which overrides the page title and SEO info with the values from that single item.
You'll usually want this to be in a container with no columns. You should set the number of items to something divisible by 3 typically, since 3 items at a time show. 12 is a good default. Because the carousel loads with JavaScript it will look odd when you first place it, but if you preview you will see it correctly.
You'll want to use this for a plainer display of news, usually one that's the focus of a page. Pagination is good here, usually 10 items per page. Remember not to use paginated lists further down a page since the user when changing pages will be at the top.

Events have a special setting in the Content tab that you almost always want to select: "Events by date". This lets you select to show only upcoming/current events, which is what you usually want unless you explicitly want to show events in the past. If you do want to show past events, you usually want to make that its own list, select past events only and then in List settings, select "By Start date (newest on top)" as the sort.

This is a good default for showing either a few events or for a big list of many events. In the former case select the limit method in list settings, usually 3. In the latter, use pagination and 10 items per page. This widget also works well in either multi-column or single column layouts.
You should only use this on events with an image if possible. You will always want to use this one in a grid-6+6 layout, because you don't want the image full width on big screens. You will also want to use the "Display single item in list view" method at the top of the page to select one item to feature here.
This would typically be used on a dedicated calendar page since it takes up a lot of space. None of the settings other than the List widget template will be used when you select this template, since it has its own logic for how it retrieves and displays events. Always put this in a container with only one column.

Calls to action are meant to be reusable banners that promote another page, piece of content, or really anything you can link to. The widgets for calls to action should always use the List template displaying one item settings, and should always be placed outside of a container (so spanning the full width of the page).
They can also be colored with any of the background colors. To do so, after you place the widget, in the List settings tab, click "More options" at the bottom, and enter one of the background color CSS classes into the CSS classes box.
This version will create a box that takes up about half of the screen on most screens, and contains the image for the CTA within it. For this version, make sure the CTA you're using has an image has its visual focus at the center and will be okay if parts around the edges get cropped on some screens (so ideally no people unless they're in the center).
This version will make the image "overlap" the previous and next sections, creating an interesting visual effect. For this to work well, the image needs to be taller than the text content of the CTA, and ideally the image will have a portrait/vertical aspect ratio. Make sure the sections above and below the image have some spacing in them so no content is overlapped.

Learn MoreLists are sort of a catch-all content type for generic templates for items that might be hard to put together in a content block, or one-off special presentations of content.
This is a list of templates that are one-offs, which means you probably shouldn't use them unless you're certain you should:
The generic list templates will be demonstrated below.
This is a good list to use if you want to promote a set of pages or other content, all of which can link to various places. You'll need to make sure your list items have images.
This is a good template to use if you have a lot of content that you can break into discrete chunks that you want users to opt in to reading. So if there is info about six different types of thing, and users will usually only want to read one or two (especially if the content is long), this is a good choice.
