Components

Components are UI elements inside Jet Admin that can be used to visualize and interact with your data

Tooltips

Add tooltips to your app components to help new users! Custom tooltips are an unobtrusive way to provide necessary information about how your app functions.

  1. Click on the Button

  2. Go to the Display Tab

  3. Scroll down to the Tooltip Section

  3. Click on the Value Changes

  4. Choose Show Notification

  2. Add a Container to each of the Column

  3. Add a Column to the First Column

  4. Add Tabs to the second Container

You can add any component by simply dragging and dropping it onto the page. Let's add the Table and Details component to the Layout. Follow the steps:

  1. Drag and Drop the Table component to the first Container

  2. Go to the All Components

  3. Scroll down to the Forms Section

  4. Drag and Drop the Details component to the second Container

Configuring Components

Different components have different settings, which you can access on the right of the window after clicking on the component once. Depending on the component, the menu will have the tabs General, Display, and Actions.

General: Contains options for configuring the way the component works. For example: which fields should be included in a table or which datasets to use in a chart.

Display: Has display options. For example, Conditional Visibility, Tooltips, Component Titles, Enable Editing for tables, and whether a field is Required.

Actions: Contains settings for triggering actions based on user interaction with the component. For example: Triggering actions when the button is clicked, and triggering actions when data is changed.

To see the tabs:
