Layout
This element is a structure built of a set of items and allows to structure them based on different styles: column, row, stripe and mosaic. Such items are containers, which allows to add other elements. These elements can be moved with each item when the layout structure is resized.
The element properties are represented by icons in its context menu, where its operations are also available.

Structure Properties
The structure properties panel of an element opens when selecting the icon of the context menu.
Alignment
Allows to align the element by selecting one of the available icons.
• Align to the left.
• Align to horizontal center.
• Align to the right.
• Align up.
• Align vertical center.
• Align bottom.
Size
All size properties can be expressed in pixels (px), percentage (%), viewport width (vw), and viewport height (vh). Additionally, for Width and Height properties, the “auto” option is added.
If selecting percentage (%) for the width and height properties, the size is calculated relative to the top element.
Position Type
It determines if at the time of execution the element remains fixed on the page or if it moves as the scroll bar moves forward or backward.
Possible Values
•Default: The element has a relative position with respect to the superior element where it was placed (container or section).
•Fixed: Fixes the element to the page so that it is always visible in the same position. It allows to increase the visibility of important content.
Docking
Determines the vertical and horizontal position of elements within the page section or container, when the screen is resized.
When an element is added or moved within the section or container, the modeler automatically docks it to the nearest corners or edges. It can also be configured by clicking on the arrows of the side to be docked to or on the center.
Once the element is docked, its exact position is indicated in the Margins property. The direction of the docking arrows determine the values that are automatically displayed for margins.
The docking position is indicated in the modeling area by dotted lines on the element.
Margins
It allows to define the distance of elements from the borders of their top element. The behavior of margins depends on the docking of the element. It can be expressed in pixels (px), percentage (%), viewport width (vw), and viewport height (vh).
Top
Distance to the top border of the highest ranking element.
Bottom
Distance to the bottom border of the highest ranking element.
Left
Distance to the left border of the highest ranking element.
Right
Distance to the right border of the highest ranking element.
Allows the value entered in one of the margins to be copied to the other ones automatically.
Allows to indicate different values for each margin.
Advanced
Name
Name used to reference the element during modeling.
Identifier
Uniquely identifies the element. It is used in the Javascript SDK.
Style Properties
The style properties panel of an element opens when selecting the icon of the context menu.
Padding
All padding space properties allow you to create a space around the borders (top, bottom, sides) and the bottom elements. It can be expressed in pixels (px), percentage (%), viewport width (vw), and viewport height (vh).
Items Gap
Defines the gap between the design items.
Allows values entered in one of the paddings to be copied to the other ones automatically.
Allows to indicate different values for each padding.
Configuration Properties
The configuration properties panel of an element opens when clicking the icon of the context menu.
Styles
Indicates the way in which items are grouped within the layout.
Column
Items are placed vertically within the layout.
Row
Items are placed horizontally within the layout.
Mosaic
Combines the vertical and horizontal placement of items based on their size within the layout.
Strip
Items are placed horizontally within the layout. Allows scrolling.

Pressing the “Equalize” button adjusts the size of the items proportionally within the layout.
Items List
The items contained in the design are visualized and can change position by dragging them within the list.
Embedded Rules
The embedded rules properties panel of an element opens when selecting the icon of the context menu.

Embedded rules on behavior, validation and calculation can be defined, associated with an element, by using the wizard (ctrl + space).
Indicates whether the element is visible. If this property is not checked, the element is not displayed in the page. Opens an edit area where a rule to determine the visibility condition can be defined. If a rule is defined, the icon is displayed with light blue borders.
