Last modified: August 20, 2024

Introduction

The label widget is not supported on native mobile pages.

For input widgets, it is recommended to use the label property to describe the purpose of widgets to end-users.

You can also use the text widget as it provides more features, for example, you can add parameters, and it generates semantically correct HTML.

A label shows static text, which describes the purpose of a specific widget to a user.

Properties

An example of label properties is represented in the image below:

Label properties consist of the following sections:

Common
Design Properties
General
Visibility

Common Section

For more information on properties in this section, see the Common Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.

Design Properties Section

The Design Properties allow you to change spacing and alignment of the widget and hide it on phone, tablet, or desktop, if needed. Design properties may vary depending on the type of the widget. For example, for the text widget you can change its font weight, color, alignment, and letter case.

General Section

The General section contains the Caption property. Caption defines the text that will be shown to a user.

Visibility Section

Visibility determines whether a widget is displayed to the end-user as part of the page.

For more information on properties of this section, see the Visibility Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
