Add Number Input Element

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

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

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

Number Input Element Properties

Located in the Properties panel:

Value: Specifies the number to be displayed by default in the numeric input field. It can be set as a static value or a dynamic value (for example, a calculation result).
Decimal Sparator: Specifies the character used to separate the decimal part between numbers. It can usually be a period (.) or comma (,) and can be set according to the current culture of the application.
Decimal Scale: Specifies how many digits are in the decimal part of the number. For example, if set to 2, the user must enter a value in the format 0.00.
Placeholder: Allows you to specify the placeholder text to be displayed before filling the field.
Fixed Decimal Scale: Mandates that the decimal part of the number always has a certain number of digits.
Allow Negative: Allows you to specify whether negative numbers are allowed.
Allow Empty Formatting: Allows you to control whether the input field is allowed to be left blank.
Format: Determines the format in which the number input is displayed. For example, special formats such as currency or percentage can be selected.
Mask: Allows you to specify the mask to be used to provide data entry in a specific format. For example, when entering a phone number field, it may require the numbers to be entered in a specific order (XXX-XXX-XXXX).
Thousand Separator: Allows you to specify the character to be used to separate the thousands digits of the number. For example, it is used for formats such as 1,000 or 1,000.
Max: Allows you to specify the maximum number the user can enter.‍
Min: Allows you to set the minimum value that can be logged in

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.
