Overview

Vertical Tabs are a design option that arranges tabs in a vertical layout, typically on the left side of the page. This layout allows users to switch between different sections or components vertically, rather than using the traditional horizontal tab format.

With Vertical Tabs, users can add multiple tabs, each representing a different section or category. Clicking on a tab reveals the content associated with that tab while hiding the content of other tabs. This layout also supports the integration of additional components within it, providing a flexible and organized way to navigate through content.

Onload Event:

We have an onload event that runs when the component is loaded

For example, when a form is loaded, you can choose fields to be prepopulated by mapping field values using input mapping at the time the form component is loaded.

Input Mapping

Input Mapping: Whenever an event is triggered and you want to pass data to destinations such as models, variables, or components, you can use input mapping to achieve that.
