Current URL (Under Default Values)

The Current URL option is now available in the Default category of the Symbol Picker, which returns the address of the page the user is currently on. This value can be used for redirect control, logging, or dynamic page behavior.

User Objects (under Dynamic Bindings)

The newly added User object in the Symbol Picker allows you to dynamically retrieve detailed information about the active user. This object provides access to user-specific fields (e.g., user ID, email address, first and last name).

With Kuika, you can easily specify the values of the parameters that actions receive via Symbol Picker.

1. To add a value to the action's parameter, click on the Symbol Picker icon in the relevant parameter field.

2. Select the appropriate Symbol Picker category from the drop-down menu.

Specify the appropriate value in the category you selected. Pay attention to the data types when adding parameter values.

In Kuika, you can set the Value values of elements with the Symbol Picker tool in the Properties panel.

1. Click on the element whose value you want to change.

2. In the Properties panel that opens on the right, click the Symbol Picker icon under the Value property.

3. Select the appropriate Symbol Picker category from the drop-down menu and set the value. You can do this according to the elements you add to the application you are developing.

By following these steps, you can use the Symbol Picker tool effectively and speed up your application development process on the Kuika platform.
