A palette provides quick access to set of configured Layout Templates, which can be used (by dragging them onto forms) to create Layout Components.
PhixFlow comes with two default palettes:
- Basic Components - contains all basic Layout Components, i.e. String Field, CheckBox etc. without any additional labels and styling
- Labeled Fields - contains a set of predefined form fields which come together with configurable labels. This is the palette you will typically use when building forms.
You can create new palettes and edit existing ones.
