Kuika's URL element allows users to enter valid web addresses correctly. The element provides validation of the entered web links and can give a warning if entered in the wrong format. Furthermore, links entered in the URL element can be displayed in a clickable format, so users can visit the link directly. In this guide, you will learn how to use the URL element and how to configure valid URL formats.

The URL element can be used in both web and mobile applications.
