Configuration¶

Settings¶

ui_panel_2

where:

Argument	Description
`Id`	Represents the unique identifier for the component. You can use this identifier to refer to this component when building your logic.
`Classes`	Allows applying custom CSS classes to the Block component. CSS classes define styles that can be used to control the appearance and formatting of the Block component. Refer to the Extensions topic for more information.
`Display`	Changes the visibility of the component in the application. The value of this property can be changed programmatically by using the Visibility Logic handler, refer to the Data Binding topic for more information.
`Data Container`	This feature enables the use of the component as a data storage mechanism, similar to Page Data. When new data is assigned to the component, only the component itself is re-rendered. The applicability of this parameter is extensive, as it allows data storage without the need to re-render the entire page, as is the case with Page Data.
`Repeater`	Determines whether the contents of the Block should be repeated based on the provided collection of data. When the Block is enabled, the contents of the Block will be duplicated for each record or item in the data source. This functionality is valuable for generating repetitive UI components, with each repetition representing different data entries. Enabling the Repeater allows you to create dynamic and data-driven layouts in your application's user interface.
`Anchor`	Defines how the Block should be anchored within its parent container. This setting influences how the Block's position and size are determined relative to its parent. You must use the unique identifier of the parent component as the input value for this parameter. The value of this property can be changed programmatically by using the Anchor Logic handler, refer to the Data Binding topic for more information.
`Tooltip text`	Provides additional information about the Block that is displayed when a user hovers their cursor over the Block. This feature is useful for offering context or brief explanations about the purpose of the Block. The value of this property can be changed programmatically by using the Tooltip Text Logic handler, refer to the Data Binding topic for more information.
`Tooltip placement`	Determines where the tooltip appears in relation to the Block. You can choose from various options, such as `Top`, `Right`, `Bottom`, and `Left`. This setting ensures that the tooltip is positioned in a way that does not obstruct the Block's content or other user interface elements.

General¶

ui_panel_4

where:

Argument	Description
`Position`	Determines the positioning behavior of the Block component within its parent container. Available options are: `default` - This option uses the default positioning behavior, which usually means that the Block component will follow the normal document flow and be positioned based on its place in the layout. When this option is selected, Position settings do not affect the position of the element. `relative` - Allows you to position the Block component relative to its normal position(`default` position) within the document flow. You can then use properties like top, bottom, left, and right to offset the component from its original position. These properties are available in the Position section of the component configuration. `absolute` - Positions the component absolutely within its closest positioned ancestor (a parent element with a position value other than `fixed`). You can use properties like top, bottom, left, and right to specify the exact position. These properties are available in the Position section of the component `fixed` - Positions the Block component relative to the viewport. It remains fixed even when the user scrolls the page. This is commonly used for elements that you want to stay in a specific position while the rest of the content scrolls. `sticky` - Makes the Block component behave like "relative" within its parent container until it reaches a specific scroll position. Then, it becomes "fixed" and stays in that position until the user scrolls past it.
`Z Index`	Determines the vertical stacking order of the Block component relative to other components on the same screen. Components with higher Z Index values will appear above components with lower values, effectively controlling their overlapping arrangement. This allows you to control the visual hierarchy of components, ensuring that certain elements appear in front of or behind others, providing flexibility in designing the user interface of your application.
`Cursor`	Identifies the cursor type when the mouse is hovered over the Block element. Refer to the Mozilla documentation to see what each cursor looks like.
`Overflow`	Determines how content should be displayed when it exceeds the available space within the defined boundaries of the component. Available options are: `visible` - Content that overflows the component's boundaries will be fully visible, potentially extending beyond the component's edges and overlapping other elements. Default setting. `hidden` - Content that exceeds the component's boundaries will be clipped and hidden. It won't be visible outside the defined area of the component. `scroll` - If content overflows, a scroll bar will be added to the component, allowing users to scroll and view the hidden content. `auto` - The browser automatically adds a scroll bar to the component if the content overflows. If the content doesn't overflow, no scroll bar will be added.

Background¶

ui_container_4

where:

Argument	Description
`Color`	Represents the background color for the component.
`Image`	Sets a background image for the component. The image must be selected from the Backendless Cloud.
`Repeat`	Defines how the background image specified in the `Image` parameter should be repeated across the component. Available options are: `repeat` - The background image is tiled both horizontally and vertically to cover the container's entire area. `repeat-x` - The background image is tiled only horizontally, repeating along the x-axis. `repeat-y` - The background image is tiled only vertically, repeating along the y-axis. `no-repeat` - The background image is not repeated and appears only once.
`Position`	Sets the initial position of the background image specified in the `Image` parameter. It determines where the top left corner of the background image will be placed within the Block. Options include various combinations of horizontal (left, center, right) and vertical (top, center, bottom) alignment.
`Attachment`	Defines whether the background image specified in the `Image` parameter should scroll along with the content or remain fixed as the content is scrolled. Available options are: `scroll` - The background image scrolls along with the content. `fixed` - The background image remains fixed within the Block as content is scrolled. `local` - The background image's scrolling behavior is determined by its parent element.
`Size`	Controls how the background image specified in the `Image` parameter should be sized within the Block. Available options are: `auto` - The background image is displayed at its original size. `cover` - The background image is scaled to cover the entire Block, potentially cropping parts of the image. `contain` - The background image is scaled to fit within the Block while maintaining its aspect ratio.

Flex¶

With Flex settings, you can control how components within a container are positioned, aligned, and distributed.

ui_cell_6

`Border Width`	Specifies the width of the border.
`Border style`	Represents the style of the component's border. Available measurement units are: `px`, `em`. `solid` - This option sets the border of the component to a solid, continuous line, creating a straightforward and distinct visual separation. `dotted` - Selecting this option applies a dotted border style to the component, resulting in a series of evenly spaced dots forming the border. `dashed` - The dashed border style creates a border composed of dashed lines, adding a stylish and slightly more dynamic visual element to the component. `double` - Choosing this option gives the component a double border, creating a bold and distinctive border with two parallel lines. `groove` - This border style applies a three-dimensional "groove" effect to the component, giving it a carved appearance that makes it seem embedded into the surrounding content. `ridge` - The ridge border style creates a three-dimensional "ridge" effect, making the border of the component appear raised and standing out from the background. `inset` - Selecting this option gives the border of the component an "inset" effect, creating the illusion that the component is pressed into the page. `outset` - The outset border style creates a raised "outset" effect for the border of the component, making it seem elevated from the background.
`Border color`	Identifies the color of the border.

Box Shadow

ui_paragraph_11

where:

Argument	Description
`X position`	This parameter controls the horizontal offset of the shadow cast by the component. Positive values move the shadow to the right, while negative values move it to the left. Adjusting the X position allows you to control the direction of the shadow's horizontal displacement. Available measurement units are: `px`, `%`.
`Y position`	The Y position parameter determines the vertical offset of the shadow cast by the component. Positive values move the shadow downward, while negative values move it upward. By adjusting the Y position, you can control the shadow's vertical displacement. Available measurement units are: `px`, `%`.
`Blur`	Adjusting the blur parameter controls the amount of blurring applied to the shadow of the component. Higher values create a more diffused and softer shadow appearance, while lower values produce a sharper and crisper shadow. Available measurement units are: `px`.
`Spread`	The spread parameter allows you to control the size of the shadow cast by the component. Increasing the spread value extends the shadow's size, while decreasing it makes the shadow more compact. This parameter affects the overall size of the shadow, not just its blur. Available measurement units are: `px`.
`Color`	This parameter defines the color of the shadow cast by the component. You can choose a specific color using color values, such as hexadecimal, RGB, or HSLA colors. The color of the shadow significantly impacts the visual effect, allowing you to create subtle or dramatic contrasts with the background.
`Shadow type`	Allows specifying whether the shadow should be cast outside or inside the component. By selecting `outside`, the shadow will appear on the outer edges of the component, creating a sense of depth. Conversely, choosing `inside` will render the shadow within the component's boundaries, providing a unique visual effect.
