What You’ll Learn

In this article, you'll learn how to create, preview, connect, and disconnect footer modules to an application.

Creating a Library Element Footer

You'll need to create a footer module before you can connect it to your application. The best way to do this is to add your footer module to the Library. By adding your module to the library, you can share it throughout your applications and even the entire environment.

NOTE  If you plan to create a footer, be mindful when naming components. Both the header and footer modules can't have components with the same Property ID. Otherwise, neither display in Express View. It's best practice to differentiate components with a descriptive name— forexample, dwFooterOutput.

1. At the top right of the Unqork Designer Platform, click the Library ▾ drop-down.
2. Click Library Elements.
3. Click + Create New.
4. In the Module Name field, enter a name for your module.

NOTE  To quickly find your footer later, start your module name with Footer. For example, Footer: Acme Corp.

5. Click Create.

From here, you can open the module and customize your footer. Here are the following supported components:
