You can add the Countdown element from the Elements panel by drag and drop. If you drag it to an empty area on the screen, it will be added with the Row element. If you drag it into a Column, you will only add the Countdown element.

Countdown supports web and mobile applications.

Countdown Element Properties

You can add text inside the Countdown element. You can give role based authorizations to the element and set its visibility with show/hide/conditional options.

Value : This is the field where you write the countdown start time in seconds. A static value can be written or Symbol Picker can be used for dynamic values.

Format : In the application development process, a Formatter is a Property that allows data to be put into a specific format or arrangement. Formatters typically organize data types such as text, numbers, date and time, and are used to achieve a specific look or format.

You can choose formats such as hh:mm:ss or hh:mm according to your needs.

HH:mm:ss:

HH represents hours and uses the 24-hour clock format. Hours can take values between 00 and 23.
mm represents minutes and shows minutes after hours. Minutes can take values between 00 and 59.
ss represents seconds and shows seconds after minutes. Seconds can take values between 00 and 59.

Example:

14:30:45 represents 14 hours 14 (2:30 PM), 30 minutes and 45 seconds.

HH:MM:ss:

HH again represents hours and uses the 24-hour clock format.

MM, this time representing the minutes after the hours. However, not to be confused with “mm”, which looks the same as “mm” representing months when written in upper case “MM”, but refers to minutes written in lower case “mm”.

ss, again representing seconds.

Example:

14:30:45 represents 14 hours, 30 minutes and 45 seconds.

mm:ss:

This format does not include the hour value, it only represents minutes and seconds.

mm represents minutes and can take values between 00 and 59.

ss represents seconds and can also take values between 00 and 59.

Example:

“05:30” represents 5 minutes and 30 seconds.

These hour, minute and second formats are used to represent and display date and time data in a standardized way. Data formatting and representation may differ depending on the programming language or application used, so it is important to observe certain conventions and language specifications when using these formats.

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” enables 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.

These methods allow you to create a personalized and secure environment in your app.
