Appearance

  • Visibility: defines the conditions when the control is displayed on the layout. Possible configuration options:

    • Static value: check-box options

      • selected (True): displaying on the page layout template is enabled
      • disabled (False): the control is not shown on the page layout template
    • Model: select the source of the data model
  • Margin: set property creates additional blank space outside of the borders of the element containing the control. Set control's margin offset in CSS format: '10px', '1rem', '1rem 2rem' (top-bottom, right-left) or '1px 2px 3px 4px' (top, right, bottom, left).
  • Padding: the property is used to generate additional blank space around the control's content, inside of the borders of the element containing the control. Set control's padding in CSS format: '10px', '1rem', '1rem 2rem' (top-bottom, right-left) or '1px 2px 3px 4px' (top, right, bottom, left).
  • Flex option: intended to adjust the width of the control automatically. Possible options:
    • Fixed (default): control's width is static
    • Flex: control's container width is responsive and adjusts automatically according to the user device's screen resolution

Device Visibility

This property allows improving user experience by managing device visibility options. For instance, the control can be hidden from the preview when it is too large and cannot fit the small screen of a mobile device.

The application checks the user device's screen resolution and displays or hides the control preview based on the selected checkbox options for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile devices. 

By default, the control is shown on all types of devices.
