Form components

Form components can be dragged into the working surface in the middle from the menu on the left-hand side. The form components can be rearranged by dragging/dropping them on the working surface.

When hovering over a component, or after selecting a component by clicking on it, two icons are visible- a trash-icon for deleting the component and a pencil-icon for editing properties on the component.

See the overview of form components for more details on the different components that are available.

Editing the properties on a component

Each component has a set of properties that can be edited, for example texts, connection to data model, etc. In order to edit the properties on a component, hover over or click on the component. A pencil-icon will then be visible to the right of the component. Click on this icon to open the properties editor for the component.

Save any changes by clicking the checkmark-icon to the right of the properties editor. Discard any changes by clicking the X-icon to the right of the properties editor.

NOTE: The form components are currently being developed. As such, not all form components have a complete/updated properties editor.

See the overview of form components for information on which properties are available to edit.
