Conditions

Set field properties like Read-only, Disable, and Hide.
  • Read-only: If checked, the field is read-only.
  • Disable: If checked, the field shows but cannot be edited.
  • Hide: If checked, the field is hidden on the page.

Width

The width is the ratio of the widget's width to the page width. Set it to control each widget's layout and display, improving the page's appearance and usability.

Figure 5 Setting the widget width
  • 1/4: Widget is 1/4 of the page width.
  • 1/3: Widget is 1/3 of the page width.
  • 1/2: Widget is 1/2 of the page width.
  • 2/3: Widget is 2/3 of the page width.
  • 3/4: Widget is 3/4 of the page width.
  • 1: Widget is full page width (default).

Default Value

Set a default value for the widget (defaults to "Please enter" if not set). This reduces user input, speeds up processes, and prevents invalid entries.

Figure 6 Setting the default value of a widget
  • Current position: Obtain the current location as the default value.
  • Other field: Fields from other widgets.
  • Relate data: Link to existing data. The latest record is used as the default.

Pop-up Message

If a field is unclear, add a Pop-up Message to explain it. This helps users and makes things easier.

After setting, a question mark icon appears next to the field. When filling in the form, click the question mark icon to see the message.
