Properties View Tabs

Forms, panes, and controls can be configured by specifying or modifying values in Properties views. Each form, as well as each of its panes and controls, has a Properties view with a set of tabs, and each tab provides access to a group of properties.

The tabs on a Properties view provide easy access to the many properties you can set for the objects on a form. Properties tabs are provided for: Forms, Data, Parameter, Shared Actions, Rules, Pane, and Controls.
