Pages & navigation
A view can have one page or many. Pages appear in the footer strip under the canvas — click to switch, use + to add, drag to reorder.
When to use multiple pages
- Long forms that would otherwise scroll forever.
- Step-by-step flows ("wizard") where each step must validate before the next.
- Screens with clearly separate stages: Details → Documents → Review.
Navigation modes
Set in Form settings → Page navigation mode:
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
default | Previous / Next buttons between pages |
stepper | A visual stepper shows all pages; users move step by step |
By default a page must pass validation before the user can continue. Turn on Allow step without validation in Form settings to let users move freely.
Positions
Form settings let you place navigation chrome where it suits the layout:
- Page navigation position —
top,bottom,both, ornone. - Stepper position — where the step indicator renders.
- Action buttons position — where Validate/Submit buttons render.
Page states
Select a page to set page-wide states:
- Read only — all elements on the page display values but reject edits.
- Disabled — all elements on the page are inactive.
Individual elements can opt out with Ignore parent state, or explicitly follow the parent with Inherit parent state.
Submit and validate buttons
Form settings control the built-in buttons:
- Show validate button — runs validation without submitting.
- Show submit button — validates and completes the form.
- Show validation issues modal — lists all validation errors in a dialog after a failed submit.
If you build your own submit button (a Button element with actions), you can hide the built-in ones.
