Object Explorer Panel

The object explorer is the panel that lists objects that belong to projects that are open in the authoring interface and that have been added to form and flow screens.

If the form or flow screen is not actively open in the authoring interface, or if no objects are attached to the form or flow screen, the object explorer panel looks like the following and does not list any values in its contents.

Form and flow screens are designed using objects in the toolbox panel. Depending on the structure and need, forms and flows can turn into complex structures consisting of too many objects. In this case, it will be difficult for the developer to find a certain form or flow object among the many existing objects and will cause time losses. Thanks to the object explorer panel, the authoring interface lists the objects that are on the form when the form screen is active, and the objects that are on the flow when the flow screen is active. Using the search feature in the object explorer panel or by navigating from within the list, the object being searched for can be quickly found, checked, and edited.

As soon as a new object is added to the form or flow screen, it will also appear in the object explorer panel. Deleting an object that exists on a form or flow screens also deletes it from the object explorer panel.

Adding a button object to the form as a new object, the added object information is automatically added to the object explorer panel;

When an object is clicked from the object navigator, the clicked object becomes prominent on the form or flow side. Thus, in form or flow screens, an object from the object explorer panel is distinguished from other objects, easily recognized from other objects, and quickly accessed to provide controls on the object.

Clicking on an object name from the object explorer panel in the flow section makes it prominent on the screen, making it easier to access a specific object in complex flow screens;

Just as an object clicked from the object explorer area is focused on the form or flow side, the Property Viewer panel is informed which object is selected and the property values for that object are opened in the Property Viewer panel.
