A palette provides a quick access to configured Layout Templates, which can be used (by dragging them onto forms) to create Layout Components.
The system provides 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. It makes a form creation process quick and intuitive.
User can create new palettes and edit existing ones. To add items to a palette drag a Layout Template onto it. Items can be removed from the palette through the editor.
For each palette, the following settings are configured:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic Settings | |
