Other elements will automatically reposition as you make changes.

3. Settings Panel
The right panel changes depending on what you've selected. There are three types of settings:

What you can customize:
Form name – Edit the text to rename your form

Field text – Adjust the same properties for text inside elements
Field appearance – Change background color, border color, border width (Bw), border radius (Br), and padding
If Mirror view is set to None, changes made in desktop view won't automatically apply to the app.
Page Settings
Access page-specific settings by clicking the page dropdown and selecting Settings.
What you can customize:
Page name – Edit the text to rename the page
Background – Upload a PDF, PNG, or JPG file for the page

Layout – Choose:
Field style: Normal or Transparent
Layout type: Grid or Float
Number of columns and row height
Delete – Remove the page from the form
Element Settings
Click any element in your form to open its settings. There are two tabs:
Settings Tab:
Title – Edit the element's title and choose whether to show or hide it
Field options – Depending on the element type:
Allow multiple images or files
Choose date format (Date, Date and Time, or Time)
Configure chart axis titles/ranges and enable Display Line Details
Set a default value
Mark as Read-only, Required, or Hidden
Conditions – Set up logic to show or hide the field (see below)
Tooltip – Add a title and body text that appears when users click the information icon
Prefill field from – Automatically populate the field with data from your workspace (see below)
Duplicate or Delete – Copy or remove the element
Styles Tab
Adjust size, color, alignment, and format for both the title (text above the element) and text (content inside the element)
Background color
Border color, width (Bw), and radius (Br)
Padding (space between content and border)
Margin (space outside the field)
Layer stacking order
Positioning (X, Y coordinates, width, and height)
When text content is longer than the field width:
Text fields will display truncated text with ellipsis (e.g., "This is a long text...")
Navigation arrows appear on fields to allow users to scroll through long content
Fields with arrows will display the full text when users interact with the field
Tip: If your content is frequently cut off, consider increasing the field width in the Styles tab or using a Multiline Text element for longer content.

Conditions control when pages or elements are visible based on other field values.
To set up conditions:

Select whether All or Any of the following conditions must match
Click + to add a new condition

Choose an operator (is, contains, is greater than, etc.)
Enter a value if required
Click the checkmark button to save your conditions
