1. Log in to the Kuika platform.
2. Open the project you will work on from the Apps screen.
3. Go to the UI Design module.

4. Select the Select Input category from the Elements panel on the left side.
5. Drag and drop the Auto Complete element to the workspace.

• If you drag it to an empty space, the Auto Complete element will be added along with a Row element.
• If you drag it into Column, only the Auto Complete element will be added.

You can configure the following settings in the Properties panel:

• Options: You can link the data to be shown in the list. You can also create a static list.
• Fixed Options List: Lists manually defined fixed data that is not linked to the database.
• Fixed Data: Determines the display name (Text) and the value (Key) to be used in the application for each data that makes up the list.
• Placeholder: Placeholder text that is displayed when the user does not enter data.
• Allow Clear: Adds a Delete (X) icon on the right margin, allowing one-click deletion of the entered data.
• Value: You can add a static value or dynamically display the content of another element or the result of an action via Symbol Picker.

Actions That Can Be Added to Elements

The Auto Complete element supports the definition of event-based actions based on user interactions. Actions are not linked to the element itself, but to events triggered by user inputs and selections.

Actions for the Auto Complete element can be added via the Properties > Add Action area using the following events.

Supported Action Triggers

onSearch: Triggered when the user performs a search. Also works when the search text is cleared.

Purposes:

• Dynamically generate a list of suggestions based on the entered text
• Filter results by making API calls
• Improve search performance in large data sets

Example scenario: As the user types a city name, matching cities are retrieved from the API and displayed in a list.

onSelect: Triggered whenever the user makes a selection.

Uses:

• Assign the selected value to a state or variable
• Automatically fill in related fields
• Update form data

Example scenario: When the user selects a product, the product details are automatically written to the relevant fields.

onChange: Triggered only when the selected item changes.

Uses:

• Monitor user input
• Display help text or warnings
• Update the status of dependent fields

onBlur: Triggered when the user loses focus from the Auto Complete field.

Uses:

• Run validation if the field is left blank
• Check if the entered value is valid

getTextFromValue: Used to obtain the text to be displayed from the selected value.

Purpose:

• To display the correct text in data structures with Value–Label separation
• To provide the user with meaningful labels in complex data structures coming from the API

Example scenario: Displaying the First Name and Last Name information as text with user_id as the Value.

Basic Rules Regarding Actions

• The Auto Complete element can trigger actions through multiple events.
• Multiple actions can be defined for the same event.
• When the onSearch event is used intensively, API calls should be carefully planned for performance reasons.
• In complex data matching scenarios, it is recommended to use onSelect and getTextFromValue together.

The Auto Complete element provides a powerful and flexible user experience when used with actions, especially in scenarios involving search, filtering, and selection from large data sets.

1. Open the Properties panel on the right sidebar.
2. Click the Please Select button under Actions in the Options drop-down menu.

3. Select Fixed Options List from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the Fixed Data button under Fixed Options List.
5. Manually fill in the Key and Text fields on the screen that opens.
6. Link the data by clicking the UPDATE button.

By following this guide, you can use the Auto Complete element effectively in your application.

Authorization

To manage access control at the element level, you can use the Authorization section in the Properties panel.

Access Types

Anonymous

Allows all users to view the element without logging in.

Restricted

• Everyone: When enabled, all logged-in users can access the element.
• Roles: The roles allowed to access the element are selected here. To edit the role list, click the gear (⚙️) icon next to the Roles field to open the Role Management window. From this window, you can add new roles, create folders, or manage existing roles.

Unauthorized Behavior (Hide / Disable)

If the user does not have the required role, you can specify how the element should behave in the Choose field:

• Hide: If the user is not authorized, the element is completely hidden and does not appear on the screen.
• Disable: The element remains visible but becomes unclickable / unusable.

This setting is used to manage how unauthorized users encounter the element.

Visibility

Always Visible: The element is always visible.
Hidden: The element is hidden.
Sometimes Visible: The element becomes visible based on specific conditions.

When Sometimes Visible is used, AND / OR groups can be added directly, allowing visibility rules to be grouped and more complex scenarios to be managed easily.

To configure the setting:

• Select the element on the screen.
• Open the Properties panel on the right.
• Choose the appropriate option under Visibility.

Editability

• Enabled: Elements can be edited.
• Disabled: Element cannot be edited.
• Sometimes Enabled: The element can be edited or uneditable according to certain conditions.

Interface Design with Style Panel

By customizing your elements with the Styling Panel, you can create impressive interfaces for your web and mobile applications. In this section, you can configure the following settings:

• Layout: Sizing, alignment and padding settings. Settings include Size, Min Size and Align.
• Text: Font, style, color, size and spacing settings.
• Fill: Customize the background with color or images.
• Border: Add borders and corner radius settings.
• Shadow: Add a shadow effect to add depth to elements.

By following these steps, you can configure the Area Chart element to suit your needs.
