X-Ray
Form Builder
The The X-Ray is a feature that provides an overall view of what a structure consists of, what is overview of the type, ID, and ID the validator of the structureform element, making it easier for users to understand and navigate their custom designs. For example, in Figure 8, it is shown that there are 4 types of objects in the section:
- Section
- Column
- Custom HTML
- Calculation Field
Figure 8: X-Ray Feature in Form Builder
As the structure is top down, in Figure 8, it can be translated as the Section being the parent of two Columns and the ID of the parent being the section3. The first column contains a Custom HTML type where the ID is field6_1 and the second column contains a Calculation Field Type where the ID is total.
List Builder
The X-Ray is a feature that provides an overall view of what a structure consists of, overview of the column name, formatter, number, and mapping of each column, making it easier for users to understand and navigate their custom designs, For example, in Figure 9, it is shown that there are 4 types of objects in the section:
- Name
- Column Number
- Column Mapping
- Column Formatter
Figure 9: X-Ray Feature in List Builder
UI Builder
The X-Ray is a feature that provides an overall view of what a structure consists of, overview of the type, ID, and the visibility permission of the UI Menu, making it easier for users to understand and navigate their custom designs. For example, in Figure 10, it is shown that there are 3 types of objects in the section:
- Category
- Menu ID
- Permission
Figure 10: X-Ray Feature in UI Builder
...
The Permission icon provides the app designer with fine-grain control over managing the permissions of each individual element in the builder.
Figure 11 Form Builder Permission
Clicking on the "Add Permission" button allows one to configure the permission rule for a role/group based on a permission type (see Figure 12).
Figure 12 Configure Permission
For each Permission rule added, determine which element will be visible for the selected role under the Authorized column.
Visibility controls differ based on Builder types (see Figures 11, 13 & 14)
Figure 13 List Builder Permission
Figure 14 UI Builder Permission
Differences between 'Hidden' and 'Deny Access' permission button in UI Builder.
Hidden button will hide the UI element chose on the published UI app, hence hiding the UI element according to permission rule for a role/group based on the set permission type
Deny Access button will also hide the UI element chose from the menu together with denying access according to permission rule for a role/group based on the set permission type
Figure below will show the differences between Hidden and Deny Access button behavior.
Deny Access button behavior
Access the Permission tab within the Advanced tool, set the Category to be 'Deny Access'. Watch the behavior for Deny Access button.
It will hide the UI Element and produce an error on the page. Indicating that is not accessible and denying all means of access for specified permission rule.
Hidden button behavior
Access the Permission tab within the Advanced tool, set the UI Element to be 'Hidden'. Watch the behavior for Hidden button. It will hide the UI Element from being visible to specified permission rule.
Permission Priority
The permissions in the advanced tool will follow the order of the list, with the highest permission in the list having the highest priority. It will override any permissions below it if your user is applicable to multiple permissions.
For the Form Builder, additional permission can be set at the Section element and determine whether they are hidden or read-only under the Unauthorized column on the right.
...
For the UI Builder, additional permission can be set at the UI Category element.

In the second tab, the app designer can inspect where the current entity is being used. From the screenshot example above, we can tell that the form is being used in another form and also being part of a workflow process. With such a feature, the app designer will be able to manage the form design well within the scope of its usage.
