View properties
Visual
Size
Default view size
By default, the view element is sized to match a specific device's screen dimensions. You can select a device model from a dropdown to use its screen resolution as the canvas dimensions in the editor.
Builder width
Shows the width of the currently selected view size as a pixel value.
Min height (px)
Shows the minimum height of the currently selected view size.
Layout
Container layout
Defines how the container element positions and arranges its child elements.
You can choose a layout type (such as column, row, align, or fixed), control alignment behavior, and configure spacing. This includes properties for gap (space between child elements), padding (internal spacing), and margin (external spacing). Layout settings determine how the element behaves responsively and how it interacts with surrounding elements.
Column
Arranges child elements vertically, stacking them from top to bottom by default. You can change the
You can control vertical order, horizontal alignment, spacing between items (gap), and whether elements stretch to fill the available width.
Row
Arranges child elements horizontally, placing them side by side from left to right.
You can control horizontal order, vertical alignment, spacing between items (gap), and whether elements stretch to fill the available height.
Fixed
Positions child elements using explicit X and Y coordinates.
Elements are placed at fixed pixel positions within the container. This layout does not automatically adjust based on content flow and offers the least responsive flexibility.
Alignment
This setting applies to column/row layouts.
Column and row layouts support different alignment modes that control how child elements are positioned along the main and cross axes.
Top/left (start)
Aligns child elements to the start of the container.
In a column layout, elements align to the top.
In a row layout, elements align to the left.
Center
Aligns child elements to the center of the container along the relevant axis.
In a column layout, elements are centered horizontally.
In a row layout, elements are centered vertically.
Right/bottom (end)
Aligns child elements to the end of the container.
In a column layout, elements align to the bottom.
In a row layout, elements align to the right.
Space between
Distributes child elements evenly, with equal space between them and no extra space at the edges of the container.
Space around
Distributes child elements evenly, with equal space around each element. This results in half-sized spacing at the container’s edges compared to the space between elements.
Element position
Moves the element to a different position in the hierarchy. The hierarchy is contained within the element's container (a container element or the page).
Make first: Sets the element as the first element in the hierarchy.
Move up: Moves the element one position higher in the hierarchy.
Move down: Moves the element one position lower in the hierarchy.
Make last: Sets the element as the first element in the hierarchy.
Spacing
Gap (column and row layout)
Defines the space between child elements inside a container.
The gap is applied between items in a column or row layout. It does not add space before the first element or after the last element — only between siblings.
In a column layout, the gap controls vertical spacing.
In a row layout, it controls horizontal spacing.
If child elements also have margins, the gap and margin values are cumulative. For example, a container with a 10 px gap and a child element with a 10 px margin between items will result in 20 px of total space between those elements.
Configure
View type
The view element has four different view types:
Scrollable
The default view type. Allows vertical scrolling.
Non-scrollable
A fixed-height view. Content is limited to the screen size.
Vertical list
A scrollable list of repeating content.
Section list
A grouped list (e.g., contacts grouped by first letter).
Page folder
Defines which folder the view is stored in.
Page folders help you organize and categorize pages, views and reusable elements in the editor. They're purely for structure and clarity during development and have no effect on how the app behaves at runtime.
Screen
Show safe area
When enabled, the view's content is inset to avoid the device's top and bottom safe area — the screen regions reserved for system UI elements.
Show status bar
When enabled, the device's status bar is visible while this view is active. The status bar displays system information such as the time, battery level, and network status.
Navigation
Show top app bar
When enabled, the top app bar is visible while this view is active. The top app bar displays the view's title and navigation controls.
Show tab bar
When enabled, the tab bar is visible while this view is active. The tab bar appears at the bottom of the screen and lets users navigate between the app's main views.
Include as tab item
When enabled, this view is included as an item in the tab bar.
Include as tab item: enabling Include as tab item automatically enables Show tab bar. You can't enable Show tab bar independently.
Properties
Each view can hold custom properties that are accessible from workflows.
The properties must be set in the element property editor.
You can assign a label and a default value to each property.
You can assign values to the property using the Set current view's property action.
Dynamic value
Can hold any data type or thing.
Color picker
Accepts hex codes or saved color variables.
Checkbox
A yes/no value (true/false).
Style
Style sets the visual design of the element, including properties such as colors, fonts, borders, shadows and other appearance settings.
Styles are shared across elements. When multiple elements use the same style, updating the style will automatically update all elements that reference it.
Style selector
Select the style to apply to the selected element.
Edit style
To edit the style, click the edit style icon. The changes to that style will apply to all elements using that style.
Detach style
Detaching the style will disconnect the element from the current style, but keep the formatting of the style until you make changes to it. This only affects the selected element.
Overriden styles
You can override a style on one or more elements, using the defined style properties but allowing you to make individual changes to styling properties that apply only to the selected element(s).
Overridden styles will be marked with an Overridden labelI.
You can reset the selected element's style by clicking the Reset icon.
Appearance
The appearance section lets you control the opacity, rotation and radius (corner roundness) of the selected element(s).
Opacity
Opacity sets the transparency level of the selected element(s). At 100%, the element is fully opaque. At 0%, it is fully transparent (invisible).
Opacity affects child elements: If applied to a container, all child elements inherit the same opacity level.
Opacity does not collapse the element: Even at 0%, the element still occupies space in the layout. Unlike hiding an element (using This element is visible on page load, a conditional visibility rule, or a hide/show action), opacity does not reduce the element’s width or height to zero.
Background
Sets the background of the selected element(s) as a color, gradient or image.
Color
Sets the background color in a hex value. You can also set the opacity of the border. Can be a static or the result of a dynamic expression.
Gradient
Sets a gradient color, ranging from a start color and an end color, with an optional mid color.
Linear gradient
A linear gradient is a background effect where colors transition gradually along a straight line.
The gradient follows a defined direction (for example, top to bottom, left to right, or at a specific angle). Instead of a single solid color, the element displays a smooth blend between two or more colors across that line.
Top
The gradient begins at the top and transitions downward.
Left
The gradient begins on the left side and transitions horizontally to the right.
Bottom
The gradient begins at the bottom and transitions upward.
Right
The gradient begins on the right side and transitions horizontally to the left.
Custom
Allows you to define a specific angle for the gradient direction.
Radial gradient
A radial gradient is a background effect where colors transition outward from a central point.
Instead of following a straight line (like a linear gradient), the color spreads in a circular or elliptical shape from the center to the edges.
Radial gradient types
Circle
The gradient expands evenly in all directions from the center, forming a perfect circle.
Ellipse
The gradient expands in an oval shape, stretching more in one direction based on the element’s width and height.
Radial gradient expansion
Define how far the radial gradient extends from its center point.
They control which edge or corner of the element determines the gradient’s final size, affecting how quickly the color transition spreads across the element.
Closest side
The gradient expands from the center until it reaches the nearest side of the element.
Closest corner
The gradient expands from the center until it reaches the nearest corner of the element.
Farthest side
The gradient expands from the center until it reaches the farthest side of the element.
Farthest corner
The gradient expands from the center until it reaches the farthest corner of the element.
Stops
Sets the start and end point of the radial gradient. By default, it has a Start and End. Optionally, you can add an intermediate point by clicking the + symbol next to Stops.
Image
Sets an image as the element's background. The image can be a static file uploaded directly in the editor, or the result of a dynamic expression.
Upload
Upload a static image file to use as the background.
Make dynamic
Click the + icon to define a dynamic expression that returns the image to use as the background.
Interaction
Options
Disable zooming
When enabled, the user can't pinch-to-zoom in the current view.
Transitions
Transitions add animation when a style property changes.
Instead of updating instantly, the element gradually shifts from its previous state to the new one over a defined duration. For example, if you reduce an element’s width, a transition can make it smoothly shrink rather than change size immediately.
Transition styles
ease
Starts slowly, speeds up in the middle, and slows down at the end.
ease-in
Starts slowly and accelerates toward the end.
ease-out
Starts quickly and decelerates toward the end.
ease-in-out
Starts slowly, accelerates in the middle, and slows down again at the end.
linear
Moves at a constant speed from start to finish.
step-start
Jumps immediately to the end state at the start of the transition.
step-end
Remains in the start state and jumps to the end state at the very end of the transition.
Transition duration
Transition duration defines how long the transition animation runs, measured in milliseconds.
Advanced
Time zone selection
This property requires that you check the Enable timezone override controls and Page checkboxes under Settings – General.
Overrides the default browser-based time zone for this page. All date and time elements on the page will use the selected time zone.
