Nodes
Nodes are key components used to structure and organize application elements in noKodr. They represent various UI elements or data containers that define how information is displayed and interacted with within your application.
Types of Nodes:
Layout Node: Represents a custom layout you've created, which can include sections or containers. These layouts are organized with fields and components to create a structured display for the application’s UI.
List View Node: Represents a list view you've designed. It displays individual records or rows containing data from a source. These nodes can interact with different data models, allowing users to merge, manipulate, and dynamically display data.
URL Node: Allows you to directly display external websites by simply entering the required URL. This node enables you to view the entire website within the application.
Nodes are the fundamental building blocks that allow you to configure and customize the noKodr application’s interface and behavior. They provide flexibility in creating specific user interactions and use cases within Salesforce
