Overview
The Page Header component in noKodr is used to define the title of a section and to serve as a container for other components within the layout. It can be positioned at the top of the layout, offering a clear and identifiable section title.
Title Display: The Page Header displays the name or title of the section in the top left corner of the layout, providing a clear identifier for users.
Container for Components: It acts as a container where you can drag and drop additional components, allowing for a structured and organized layout.
For example, In a application for managing project tasks, you might use the Page Header to title different sections such as "Upcoming Tasks," "Completed Tasks," or "Task Overview." By placing this title at the top of each section, users can easily navigate and understand the context of the content below, while also using the header area to organize related components.

Merge Text
Merge text is a key feature of the noKodr application, allowing users to display field values on the UI. Depending on the data type, users can perform mathematical operations on these fields.
For example, if you want to display a calculated total price based on the quantity and unit price entered by the user on a sales order form, and you wish to dynamically showcase this on the UI without saving the record in the database, you can achieve this using the UI fields in noKodr.
After selecting merge text you can you can see several options such as:
Attribute Name | Description |
---|---|
Source Type | In this option, you can select various sources from which you want to display values. |
Value | The available options will change depending on the selected source type. For example, if you choose "Static" as the source, you can provide a fixed static value. |
Merge Field Expression | The selected field from the source will be displayed in a merge format. For instance, the first name field from the contact model will appear as: {model:contact.FirstName}. |
Message Body | In this option, You can add multiple values to form your final UI merge text. For example, merge fields include {model:contact.FirstName},{model:contact.LastName} will eventually display the contact's first name and last name next to each other. |
Available Sources
After clicking on the Gear Icon, you can select various sources to include fields or values, such as variables, other models, static values, etc.
Source Type | Description |
---|---|
Static | Use this option to provide a fixed static value. |
Field | Select the field from the chosen object in the model whose value you want to include. |
Model | Choose the field from other models whose value you want to include. |
Variable | Select from the variables created in the layout whose value you want to use. |
Cookie Key | Choose the available cookie key whose value you want to include from your browser. |
Local Storage Key | Select the available Local Storage Key whose value you want to include from your browser. |
User | You can also select fields from the current logged-in user in your organization to include in the merge. Note: The User source refers to the currently logged-in user in your organization. This means that if you include the First Name field from the user, each time a different user logs in, they will see their own First Name displayed. |
After selecting the source type, you need to choose the available options based on the selected type. For example, if you have selected "Model" as the source type, you will need to select one model from the available models.
Note: Only single record models are visible here and can be used in the merge text. Multi-record models are not supported here.
Once you select a model, the field options will become available. You can then choose the fields you want to include in your merge field expression and combine multiple fields to form your final expression in the message body.

Events:
Events are essentially the automation of invoking the component's actions.
Here, only onload event actions are available for this components.
In the image below, you can select the created workflows.
Note: "You need to create a workflow for selecting from this list.
For more information about Workflow check this out.
Reference: Workflow
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.
