Group Element

In the vFlow module, the Group Element is designed to organize multiple elements into a cohesive group, enabling better layout management and interaction control. It helps streamline the user interface by logically grouping related elements, improving readability and usability.

Common Use Cases:

• Form Sections: Organizing related input fields, such as personal details or payment information, into clearly defined sections.
• Collapsible Panels: Creating expandable/collapsible groups for better data management and navigation.
• Role-Based or Condition-Based Views: Displaying grouped elements selectively based on user roles, permissions, or validation.

Configuration

The element’s configuration in vFlow 2.0 allows you to customize its behavior, appearance, and interaction across various devices. Through simple settings, you can control everything from its visibility and functionality to how it adapts to different screen sizes, making it flexible and user-friendly for developers and end-users. Let’s have a look at each of its configurations:

Basic

Basic Configuration	Description
Type	The Type indicates the type of you are adding. In this case, it defaults to “Image Slider” and cannot be changed here. This selection is made initially when you first create the element.
Reference Name	The Reference Name is a unique identifier assigned to the element for internal use. This name is visible only to vFlow users, and is not displayed to end-users. The Reference Name is intended for your convenience, helping you easily identify and manage the element throughout.
Label	The Label is the name or text displayed on the element, making it easily recognizable to end-users.
Description	The Description field is intended for use by application designers or administrators (vFlow users) to provide additional context or details about the element. This description is not visible to end-users and is used solely for internal reference to assist with element management.

Properties

Properties	Description
Mandatory	If checked, this element becomes necessary to continue or for the workflow, enforcing user interaction before proceeding.
Default Value	This property allows you to display a predefined static value as the default text within the element. The default value will be shown when the user has not uploaded an image. This can be useful for providing instructions to users.
Read Only	When selected, the single image feature will be set to read-only mode, preventing any modifications to the image.
Parent	Checking Parent will make this element a parent element, meaning it will take up the entire screen assigned to it until an event is performed. Once an event occurs, the screen will split to display both the parent element and the result of the action, providing a dynamic interface that adjusts based on user interaction.
Element Sequence	Type sequence numbers of elements to be grouped, separated with commas.
Tooltip Label

Style

The Style option allows you to personalize the appearance of the element. This includes adjusting various visual aspects to ensure it complements your application’s overall design. Here’s a breakdown of different settings that you can make adjustments to:

• Laptop/Desktop width: The button automatically expands to take up 100% of the available width on desktop and laptop screens, ensuring it spans the entire container. However, this width can be adjusted according to the specific design or layout requirements.
• Tab width: On tablet devices, the button will also span 100% of the container’s width. This ensures that it adapts well to medium-sized screens, making it easier for users to interact with on touch devices. You can adjust this width as needed based on design preferences.
• Mobile width: For mobile devices, the button remains at 100% width to ensure full visibility and easy tap interaction, even on smaller screens. Like the other devices, this width can be adjusted as per requirement.

Data Style

• Background Color: To choose the background color for the element, you can use a color picker or enter a hexadecimal or RGB color code. The default opacity is set to 100%.

Font

• Text Alignment: You can set the text alignment (e.g., left, center, right) or select “None” for default alignment.

Dimension

• Height: You can define the height of the element in pixels (px) or percentage (%).
• Maximum Height: You can set the maximum height to prevent the element from exceeding this limit.
• Width: You can specify the width of the element in pixels (px) or percentage (%).
• Maximum Width: You can define the maximum width to prevent the element from expanding beyond this size.

• Padding: To set the internal space within the element, enter values for top, right, bottom, and left padding in pixels (px). Default is 0px for all sides.
• Border Radius: To define the curvature of the corners of the element, enter values for top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left in pixels (px). Default is 0px for all corners.
• Custom CSS Class Name
  • Users can enter custom CSS class names in the provided input field to apply additional styles.
  • Multiple Classes Names can be provided, If needed. They can be applied by separating them with commas, as indicated by the example (classA, classB).

Animation

This option allows you to apply several animations to enhance the element’s loading appeal. The following are the available animations:

• Bounce
• Flash
• Pulse
• Rubber Band
• Handshake

Their Configuration:
Click the TYPE list, and then select an animation to apply an effect when the element loads.

After you select one of the animations (for example, Bounce), you will see the following configuration options:

• Speed: In this field, you can select one of the following options to adjust the speed of the animation:
  • Faster
  • Fast
  • Slower
  • Slow
• Delay: Click this list to select a value (for example, 3 seconds). This value specifies a time period. The application will load the animation after this time period (e.g., 3 seconds).
• Repeat: In this list, select a value (for example, 2). This value specifies the total number of times the application will play the animation.

After you configure the element’s animation properties, click to apply them to the element.
