Selecting a UI element and property

Use this area to specify the control or category of property type used with the control.

  1. Select a UI element from the dropdown menu. For Editable/Read Only and Action control modes, select the type of control that appears on the layout. For Read-Only mode, select the type of presentation of the property value. Your selection filters the Format, Options, and Behaviors areas on this tab.
  2. Select a single-value property or text string that contains the value you want to associate with the control. This option does not appear in Action control mode.

Note: When a property is computed through a Declare Expression rule, the system presents the value as read only in the control's read-only format.
