Stepper

This is the panel that opens on the right side when you click on the Stepper element.

In this panel, there are areas where settings such as Stepper1, Step Direction, Authorization, Visibility are made.

Stepper1

This is the area where step edits are made. This is the area where the steps are named from the Title field opened by clicking on the Step Item in the Element and more steps can be added by clicking on the +Add Stepper Item field.

Step Direction

This is the area where the steps are displayed horizontally or vertically.

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.

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

2. Under the added Stepper element, select the button from the Elements panel and add it to Canvas by drag and drop.
3. In the added Step element, name the steps as Step1, Step2, Step3.
4. Then name the button as Run from the Fixed Value field in the Properties panel that opens when you click the button.
5. Then click the button. Add the action by clicking +Add Action → OnClick→ UI Control → Set Value Of in the Properties panel.
6. In the created action, select Step1 in the Selectbox.
   Since we did this for Step2 and Step3, copy and paste the selection by clicking on the ellipsis icon. Update its content as Step2 and Step1 to ensure that it repeats continuously and returns to the beginning.
7. Then, when you run the application, the steps will run consecutively.
