Properties

All components have their own ‘Properties’ tab for detail settings. You can click the Properties icon or the Properties menu to open the tab.

[Tip] Enter the ID of the component in the Properties tab
All components must have a unique ID. An ID is automatically generated when a component is added. However, it is recommended to change the ID to one that is easy to read. For example, the ID of a component where names such as John Doe, Jane Doe, etc. can be named ‘personName’.
