Add Checkbox Element

After logging in to Kuika platform, open the project you will work on from the “Apps” screen.

In the “UI Design” (1) module, drag and drop the Checkbox element (4) under the “Select Input” (3) category from the “Elements” (2) panel on the left side.

If you drag the Checkbox element to an empty space on the screen, it will be added with the Row element. If you drag it into a Column, only the Checkbox element will be added.

Checkbox Element Properties

Located in the Properties panel:

Label: Defines the text that appears next to the checkbox element.
Checked: Indicates whether the checkbox is selected or not. When this option is active, the checkbox appears checked, otherwise it is empty.
Box Color: Defines the background color of the checkbox. This color appears when the checkbox is unchecked.
Box Color OnChecked: Defines the background color of the box when the checkbox is checked.
Check Icon Color: Defines the color of the checkmark that appears when the checkbox is checked.

In Android and iOS applications, you can change the color of the Checkbox element from the Properties panel “Text Color” field.

Authorization.

You can customize user access with “Anonymous Access” and “All Roles Access” authorization options on the screens and elements of your application. While “Anonymous Access” enables access without any account information query, “All Roles Access” provides access by verifying user account information.

For element level authorization, you can manage the security and user experience of your application by selecting the relevant element and editing the “Authorization” settings from the Properties panel.

Visibility.

It allows you to adjust the visibility of screens or elements. Visibility in Elements allows you to regulate visibility based on a specific state or condition. For each element, you can make it always visible, hidden, or visible and hidden depending on a condition.

Click on the element on the screen.
Open the “Properties” panel on the right side.
Click on the “Visibility” field and make one of the following selections according to the needs of your application. Kuika offers Always Visible, Hidden, Sometimes Visible options to control the visibility of the screens in your application.

Always Visible: Ensures that the screens in your app are always visible. ‍
Hidden: Allows hiding screens in your application. ‍
Sometimes Visible: Makes screens in your application conditionally visible.

Editability

Allows you to make elements editable.

Enabled: Selecting this option makes the element editable.
Disabled: In this case, the element cannot be edited.
Sometimes Enabled: This option means that the element is sometimes editable and sometimes not, depending on certain conditions.

Customize the İnterface Design with Style Panel

By customizing your elements with the Styling Panel, you can create unique and impressive user interfaces in your web and mobile applications.

The sections defined below vary depending on the element.

Layout‍: Here you can make visual adjustments such as sizing, alignment and padding of elements. These settings also affect the layout of other elements within the element. Properties include Size, Min Size and Align; however, some elements may not support the Display property.
Text: The element's text properties can be edited here through font family, style, color, size, spacing and other options. This section supports all Text related adjustments.
Fill: You can use the Fill setting to customize the element's background with color or images.
Border: You can give your elements a more aesthetic look by adding borders and adjusting the corner radii.
Shadow: You can add a shadow effect to elements used in web applications to give a sense of depth. However, the shadow feature may not be supported as some elements are not suitable for mobile applications.
