Kuika's Slider element is a tool in your application that allows users to easily select values within a given range. The slider element makes it possible to select between minimum and maximum values with a slider mechanism. Users can set the desired value by sliding the slider left or right. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Slider element and how to configure the slider settings.

The Slider element supports web and mobile applications.

Add Slider 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 Slider element (4) under the “Numeric Input” (3) category from the “Elements” (2) panel on the left side.

You can add the Slider 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 Slider element is added.

Slider Element Properties

Located in the Properties panel:

Value: You can add a static value to the Value field, or you can dynamically add a value of a status, Input element content or an action result via Symbol Picker.
Max : Determines the maximum value that can be selected on the slider. For example, in a volume control slider, the max value can be set to 100. In this case, the slider can take values between 0 and 100.
Min : Sets the minimum value that can be selected on the slider. For example, in a price range slider, min can be set to 0. In this case, the slider can take a value between 0 and the max value you set.
Step : Determine how many times you will change the value on the slider. For example, if you set the step value to 5 in a quantity control slider, the slider will only allow you to select values such as 5, 10, 15.
Vertical : The element is added in a horizontal structure by default. You can also have it displayed vertically.

Slider Color : You can set the slider color.
Handle Color : You can set the color of the circular handle on the slider.
Tooltip Visible : You can make sure that the validated value is shown above the slider handle.
Rail Color: Rail is the line along which the slider moves and which range the slider is in. The Rail Color property allows you to set the rail color of the Slider element. You can customize the slider to improve its aesthetic appearance and usability. (For example, if you set the rail color to red, the line in the slider's background will appear red.)

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.
