Dynamic Item List

Dynamically display inner items, automatically stacking related items like process tasks or steps. Rather than being limited to list or table-style displays, this widget displays inner items using embedded interfaces, providing more information at a glance.

Title

Set the title of the widget. Include a descriptive title to help users understand the specific content of the widget.

Width

Set the display width of the widget.

The width settings of neighboring widgets determine the resulting display on the interface. For example, two neighboring widgets set to 50% width display side by side. Similarly, if one widget is set to 1/3 and the following widget is set to 2/3, the widgets will display side by side.

We recommend experimenting with widget width settings and widget placement to optimize the interface display for the screen size you're designing for. That is, if you're designing an interface for a large screen (say, a request tracking interface), you can use small widget widths and include multiple widgets together. However, if designing for mobile, leaving widgets at 100% widths is generally best.

Enable Display Conditions

Select whether to dynamically display the widget based on custom conditions. When enabled, a conditions group displays; when the specified conditions are met, the widget displays.

For example, you can set a condition to display an input-type widget only if a user enters a specific value, prompting the user to provide additional information.

For more information about configuration condition groups, see Conditions.

Condition Evaluation Method

Set how display conditions are evaluated:

  • Evaluate conditions on the first load - Evaluate conditions only when the page first loads. This option does not dynamically show or hide relevant widgets when a user makes a selection; refreshing the page is required.

  • Continuously evaluate (default) - Continuously evaluate conditions as the user views and interacts with the interface. Use this option to enable the interface to dynamically show or hide relevant widgets based on user input.

Show as a quick navigation tab

Select whether to display the widget as a quick navigation tab. When this option is set to Yes, this widget and all those below it will display on a single tab until the next widget that's configured to display as the quick navigation tab. Additionally, you can set the quick navigation menu label override and edit the label icon.
