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.
