## Data and privacy

This card uses its configured properties and live card data.

## Properties

For theme, background, accent and position, see [Common properties](/docs/cards/#common-properties).

Set static properties in `params`. Bind `data` to a project card data key for live values; that document holds only dynamic properties. Without a data key, put the complete configuration in `params`. Nested rows describe the contents of their parent property.

### Static properties

| Name | Type | Default | Values and limits | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `title` | string | `""` | maxLength: `60` |  |
| `currency` | string | `"$"` | maxLength: `4` |  |
| `decimals` | number, string | `"auto"` | `"auto"`, `0`, `1`, `2` | auto shows whole prices without decimals when every price is whole, otherwise two. |
| `columns` | number, string | `"auto"` | `"auto"`, `1`, `2`, `3` |  |
| `specialLabel` | string | `"Today's special"` | maxLength: `30` | The chip view's lead-in. |
| `pageSeconds` | integer | `12` | minimum: `5`; maximum: `120` | When the menu needs more than one page, pages turn on the wall clock. |
