  • Desktop: The control displays only on desktop devices. Enable the Show for Desktop toggle key.

  • Mobile: The control displays only on mobile devices. Enable the Show for Mobile toggle key.

  • Both: The control displays on both desktop and mobile devices. Both toggle keys are enabled by default.

CSS Selector Name

Enter the value to represent this control in custom CSS syntax when in Custom CSS mode. As a best practice, use the same CSS Selector Name value on different controls of the same type to apply the same custom CSS style to all those controls.

Then, use this name in the Custom CSS feature to apply CSS styling to this control as follows:

[selector='Submit Form'] {
    color: blueviolet;
}

See the following best practices regarding custom CSS in Screens:

Aria Label

Enter the string that provides a text alternative to this control for the following purposes:

  • Assistive technology, such as screen readers, read the Aria Label setting value.

  • This control has a visual indication of its purpose, such as a control that uses a graphic instead of text, but still needs to clarify that purpose for anyone who cannot access the visual indication.

The Aria Label setting value replaces the Label setting value. For example, if a control has both a Label setting value and an Aria Label setting value, assistive technology only uses the Aria Label setting value.

Tab Order

Tab order determines the sequential navigation order to navigate a Screen's controls using a keyboard interface. Assistive technology users often use a keyboard for navigation.

See best practices for setting the tab order for a Screen's controls.

Enter the number for the sequential keyboard navigation order that this control takes focus amongst other controls in this Screen.
