Slider input element
Allows users to select a numeric value within a defined range by dragging a handle.
Visual
Content
Min. value
Defines the lowest selectable value.
Max. value
Defines the highest selectable value.
Auto-binding
Auto-binding automatically updates a thing as the user modifies the input element, without requiring a workflow. Enable this option to bind the input element directly to a field on a thing. For auto-binding to work:
The input element must be inside a group or page with a defined Type of content
The parent group's (or page's) thing is the record that will be modified
The relevant data type must have the correct edit permissions configured in the Privacy section of the Data tab
If privacy rules don't allow the change, the update won't be applied, and the user will see an error message. You can edit the error message
This property offers the following options:
Off: Auto-binding is disabled.
On: Auto-binding is enabled. Setting it to On reveals two additional properties:
Field to modify: The field on the parent element's data type that you want to modify.
Alert on success: A customized alert message displayed when the data is successfully saved. For this to work, you need at least one alert element on the page.
Initial content
Sets the default value of the slider.
Size
Sets the width and height of the element. These properties depend on the layout configuration of the parent element.
Height
Sets the width/height of the element. The column, row and align layouts have a more flexible way to set element position.
Fixed
Sets the width of the element as a fixed value.
Pixels: sets the width to a fixed pixel value
Percentage: sets the width to a percentage of the parent container
Fit
The element’s width and height automatically adjust based on the size of its child elements. To add a mininum and/or maximum value, click the + symbol.
Min: the minimum width/height, defined as a pixel value or percentage of the parent container.
Max: the maximum width/height, defined as a pixel value or percentage of the container.
Fill
The element's width and height fills the available space in the parent container. To add a mininum and/or maximum value, click the + symbol.
Min: the minimum width/height, defined as a pixel value or percentage of the parent container.
Max: the maximum width/height, defined as a pixel value or percentage of the container.
Parent container has a fixed layout
Width/height
Sets the widht/height of the element. The fixed layout has a more rigid way of setting element size, based on static pixel values.
Fixed
Sets the width of an element as a fixed pixel value.
Layout
Alignment
Parent layout: Column
In a column layout, a child element's property is restricted to the vertical axis.
Left
Elements are aligned to the left edge.
Center
Elements are aligned to the vertical center of the container.
Right
Elements are aligned to the right edge.
Parent layout: Row
In a row layout, a child element's alignment property is restricted to the horizontal axis.
Top
Elements are aligned to the top edge of the container
Center
Elements are aligned to the horizontal center of the container.
Bottom
Elements are aligned to the bottom edge of the container.
Parent layout: Align
In an align layout, a child element's property is restricted to one of nine cells in a 3x3 grid. Any element placed within the same cell will overlap.
Top-left
Elements are aligned to the top-left corner of the container.
Top-center
Elements are aligned to the top edge and horizontally centered within the container.
Top-right
Elements are aligned to the top-right corner of the container.
Center-left
Elements are vertically centered and aligned to the left edge of the container.
Center
Elements are vertically and horizontally centered within the container.
Center-right
Elements are vertically centered and aligned to the right edge of the container.
Bottom-left
Elements are aligned to the bottom-left corner of the container.
Bottom-center
Elements are aligned to the bottom edge and horizontally centered within the container.
Bottom-right
Elements are aligned to the bottom-right corner of the container.
Parent layout: Fixed
Elements are positioned using fixed X and Y coordinates, defined in pixels.
Spacing
Padding
Defines the internal spacing between an element’s content and its border in a static pixel value. Padding adds space inside the element, without affecting its position relative to other elements.
Padding is added on the vertical and horizontal axis respectively.
Margin
Defines the external spacing between an element and surrounding elements.
Margin adds space outside the element’s border. It affects the distance between elements and influences layout positioning.
Configure
Type
Sets the type of slider input you want to use:
Simple: sets one slider handle, allowing users to select one value
Range: adds a second slider handle, allowing users to select a range
Orientation
Sets the orientation of the slider element:
Horizontal: the slider is displayed horizontally
Vertical: the slider is displayed vertically
No. of steps
The increment between each step on the slider. For example, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10, a step value of 5 produces three stops: 0, 5, and 10.
Handle
Sets the color of the handle, as a static color or a dynamic value.
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
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.
Border
The Border property sets the color of the slider track. To add a border around the entire element, place the slider input inside a group and apply the border there instead.
Border color
Sets the color of the border in a hex value. You can also set the opacity of the border. Can be a static or the result of a dynamic expression.
Background
Sets the background color of the slider track. To add a background color to the entire element, place the slider input inside a group and apply the background there instead. The same applies if you want to use a different background type (gradient or image)
Interaction
Visibility
Visible on page load
Enable this to make the element visible by default. This checkbox makes the element visible every time the page loads or reloads. Change the visibility of the element based on certain conditions in the Conditional section in the property editor or with a show/hide element action in a workflow.
Collapse when hidden
Enable this to make the element collapse its height and width to 0 pixels when hidden. This allows surrounding elements to automatically shift into the freed space, preventing empty gaps in the layout.
This is commonly used in single-page applications, where elements are shown and hidden dynamically as users navigate, without leaving the page.
Options
Make disabled
Disables the slider so the user can't interact with it.
Disabling an element is a UI setting and doesn't securely prevent data changes. Always enforce restrictions with server-side conditions and privacy rules in the Data tab.
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.
Workflows
Shows the workflows connected to the selected element. Click the + symbol to create a new workflow associated with that element. The list of available events differs based on which element is selected.
Shortcut: To quickly add a workflow to a selected element, press Cmd+K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows. The shortcut defaults to the most likely event for that element type.
Advanced
ID attribute
A unique identifier assigned to the element. This can be used to reference the element in custom code, such as JavaScript or CSS, using document.getElementById() or CSS selectors.
For this property to be visible, you need to enable Expose the option to add an ID attribute to HTML elements in Settings – Advanced options.
