Alert

Properties

General

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Model Id	String	This is a unique id for the component.	Every field on a form model needs a unique ID, which is automatically generated but can be changed if needed (e.g. to reference in expressions or for debugging purposes). If the field type supports rendering a label, and most types do, it can be configured here. This label is a displayed on the form to the end user and typically indicates what value is expected in the field. The documentation property holds free-form text that can be used to give more details about this alert field, like its purpose, usage in other models, etc.
Documentation	Multiline Text	A free-form text to explain the use cases for this form field.
Value	TextArea	The binding for the form field. Use an appropriate expression to bind the component to its value and specify where the value is written/read. For example, use '{{myVariableName}}' to store the value of the field in a variable named 'myVariableName'. Use prefixes to define the scope of the value, for example, 'root.' for referencing the root case/process to store the value in. Please refer to the section 'Frontend expressions' in the Flowable guide for more information.	The purpose of a form is to either display some value or to have users provide values for the various fields of a form. In both situations, this value needs to be bound to an identifier using the {{myValue}} notation, and the value provided by the user will be stored in a variable with that identifier. If there already was a value bound to the identifier before, for example because another form had a field bound to the same identifier, it will be displayed.
Title	Text	Title of the alert

Alert

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Severity	Selection: Error Warning Success Info	The severity of the alert changes the color and default icon	An alert field is used to draw the attention of the user to a certain message. These properties can be used to customize the way the alert field is rendered.
Default Icon	Boolean	Show or hide the default decoration icon
Close Icon	Boolean	Show or hide the icon to close the alert
Close Button	Boolean	Show or hide the a button to close the alert
Close Button text	Text	Text in the close button
Custom icon url	Text	Url of a custom decoration icon

Validation

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Validation Panel Display	Selection: Show Only message Hide	Display at validation panel and validation tooltip.	Providing proper data in form fields is important, especially when in process, case, decision or any other models the values provided in the form fields are used in subsequent steps. To make sure that the data is correct, validation is crucial. For this reason, a form can only be submitted when all fields are valid and thus all validation properties configured on the left apply. Check the tooltips on the properties for more information.
Custom validations	List	List of additional validations to apply.	The alert field can have custom validation rules beyond the standard set of validations. Such a rule is written as a frontend expression in the form of {{myExpression}}. If this expression evaluates to false, the submission of the form won't be possible.

Rendering

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Ignored	Boolean	If true the component will be hidden and the value will not be part of any payload.	Fields can also be shown or hidden based on the visible condition. This can be a frontend expression in the form of {{myExpression}} which can reference other form field values by their IDs. Fields can also be enabled or disabled, and similarly this can be made dynamic based on a frontend expression. Some field types can be ignored (the property is shown here if that's the case), which means that its value won't be taken into account.
Visible	Boolean	Boolean value or expression specifies whether the component is visible or hidden. This expression might include another value in the same form, for instance use a checkbox bound to {{showAdditionalFields}} and use the very same expression as the visible attribute to show or hide the component according the checked state of the checkbox. If you want to only show the component, if the form is not used as the init-form, you can use the expression '{{root.id}}' which evaluates to true only, if there is a current case id which is not the case in an initialization form.
Style class	Text	Stylesheet class name. Add any style classes to be applied to the component for the desired styling and rendering.	The alert field can get customized CSS classes to customize the default styling. Note that the CSS files needed for the customizations must be available on the runtime system.

Advanced

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Events	List		The alert field emits low-level events on which can be reacted with a frontend expression to implement various use cases that are not possible with regular modeling. If the expression produces a value, it can be stored in a new variable using the Result variable property.
