Property ID |
A Property ID is the unique field ID used by Unqork to track and link components in your module. The Property ID is how the software identifies your component. Using Property IDs lets you link components, creating logic-based configurations and API calls. Property IDs must use camel case (stylized as camelCase) without spaces or punctuation. |
Copy |
After saving the module, clicking this button creates an HTML link and copies it to your local clipboard data. Opening this link in a browser opens the Module Builder and the component's configuration window. |
Display |
Select this tab to manage your component's display settings. Display settings control the visual elements end-users see in Express View. For example, The Button component's Label Text setting controls the text that displays inside a button in Express View. |
Data |
Select this tab to manage your component's data settings. Data settings can control how a component's values are stored, and what certain components can do. For example, the Dropdown component's Data Values table controls what options end-users see in a drop-down, and what value is entered when they select an option. |
Actions |
Select this tab to manage your component's actions settings. The Actions settings control what a component does when certain criteria are met. For example, the Button component's Event action type can trigger another component when clicking the button. |
Validation |
Select this tab to manage your component's validation settings. Validation settings control what values are accepted in input components, and if the input component field is required. For example, the Text Field component's Required setting makes it so end-users must enter a value in order to progress past the current page. |
Advanced |
Select this tab to manage your component's advanced settings. The Advanced tab provides Creators with additional settings to further customize the component. |
