Step

A step is a specific page within an app that is displayed to the user when the app is run. Only a single step can be viewed at a time. There are four types of steps:

  • Regular steps contain a user defined arrangement of widgets that allow for many types of visualizations and interactions.

  • Base Layout A step that can be used to apply a template to all Regular steps in an App. Anything shown on the Base Layout will also appear on other steps. Individual Widgets can be unlocked on a per step basis and reset to match the Base Layout as required. There is always a single Base Layout per App.
