Name Description
IDSets this element’s unique page identifier. Use a stable name such as projectSummary when another control, label or anchor must target it. Do not duplicate a static ID inside repeated markup; a component binding name and a form field’s submitted Name serve different purposes.
ClassEdits the element’s space-separated CSS class list. For example, add a project-defined class such as project-summary only when your stylesheet defines it. Preserve classes required by the component. A class name alone does not create CSS, load an extension or implement an event handler.
TextEdits the label text or its span within the child matched by `[data-role="link"]`. This lets the parent’s inspector reach the intended content without selecting every child separately. It does not change the link destination or create an event handler. Keep that child in the component when customizing its markup; this control does not recreate a removed layout. Replace the sample wording with a concise label appropriate to its position, then preview long text at a narrow width.
Target hrefDefault: "#content". Attribute: href.
Name Description
Back ColorSets the element’s background using Bootstrap theme utilities. bg-primary changes the background; text-bg-primary sets a primary background with a corresponding contrasting text color. For example, use text-bg-primary for a highlighted notice. Existing custom styles can override the utility. Options: Primary Contrast (text-bg-primary), Primary Background Only (bg-primary), Primary Subtle (bg-primary-subtle), Secondary Contrast (text-bg-secondary), Secondary Background Only (bg-secondary), Secondary Subtle (bg-secondary-subtle), Success Contrast (text-bg-success), Success Background Only (bg-success), Success Subtle (bg-success-subtle), Danger Contrast (text-bg-danger), Danger Background Only (bg-danger), Danger Subtle (bg-danger-subtle), Warning Contrast (text-bg-warning), Warning Background Only (bg-warning), Warning Subtle (bg-warning-subtle), Info Contrast (text-bg-info), Info Background Only (bg-info), Info Subtle (bg-info-subtle), Light Contrast (text-bg-light), Light Background Only (bg-light), Light Subtle (bg-light-subtle), Dark Contrast (text-bg-dark), Dark Background Only (bg-dark), Dark Subtle (bg-dark-subtle), Body (bg-body), Body Secondary (bg-body-secondary), Body Tertiary (bg-body-tertiary), White (bg-white), Transparent (bg-transparent). Default: no override from this control.
Back OpacityChanges the opacity of a background color that uses --bs-bg-opacity. For example, bg-primary with bg-opacity-25 gives a 25% primary background while leaving text opaque. It does not fade a background image and is separate from the whole-element Opacity control. Options: Default, 10% (bg-opacity-10), 25% (bg-opacity-25), 50% (bg-opacity-50), 75% (bg-opacity-75), 100% (bg-opacity-100). Default: no override from this control.
WidthSets a width utility relative to the containing block. For example, w-50 requests 50% of the parent’s width, while w-auto lets normal layout determine the width. This is different from a grid column span and from viewport width. Options: Auto (w-auto), 25% (w-25), 50% (w-50), 75% (w-75), 100% (w-100), Max 100% (mw-100). Default: no override from this control.
HeightSets a height utility relative to the containing block. For example, h-100 requests the parent’s full height, which needs a resolvable parent height to have the intended effect. Use auto when the content should determine height. Options: Auto (h-auto), 25% (h-25), 50% (h-50), 75% (h-75), 100% (h-100), Max 100% (mh-100). Default: no override from this control.
OpacityFades the whole rendered element, including its text, background and descendants. For example, opacity-50 makes the entire card half opaque. Opacity zero still leaves layout space and does not by itself disable clicks or remove content from assistive technologies. Options: Default, 0% (opacity-0), 25% (opacity-25), 50% (opacity-50), 75% (opacity-75), 100% (opacity-100). Default: no override from this control.
ShadowApplies or removes a Bootstrap box shadow. For example, shadow-sm gives a card the theme’s small shadow and shadow-none removes this utility’s shadow. The shadow does not allocate extra layout space; its appearance comes from the active theme variables. Options: Default, None (shadow-none), Small (shadow-sm), Regular (shadow), Large (shadow-lg). Default: no override from this control.
Object FitControls how replaced content such as an image fits an explicitly sized box. object-fit-cover fills the box and may crop the image; object-fit-contain keeps the whole image visible and may leave space. It does not size the box or control CSS background images. Options: Default, Contain (object-fit-contain), Cover (object-fit-cover), Fill (object-fit-fill), Scale Down (object-fit-scale), None (object-fit-none). Default: no override from this control.
Viewport SizeApplies viewport-relative sizing utilities. For example, vh-100 requests the full viewport height, whereas min-vh-100 allows a section to grow taller than the viewport when its content requires it. These sizes are relative to the viewport, not the parent. Options: Default, Width 100vw (vw-100), Min-Width 100vw (min-vw-100), Height 100vh (vh-100), Min-Height 100vh (min-vh-100). Default: no override from this control.
PlaceholderApplies Bootstrap placeholder styling for a loading skeleton. The placeholder class supplies the visual block, and placeholder-glow or placeholder-wave adds the corresponding effect where supported. For example, use a placeholder span while a title loads. This styling does not fetch data or automatically replace itself with the loaded content. Options: None, This Element (placeholder), Container Glow (placeholder-glow), Container Wave (placeholder-wave). Default: no override from this control.
Name Description
TextBinds the displayed text on the child matched by `[data-role="link"]` to an App Connect expression using dmx-text. Choose the corresponding field from the scope shown by the Data Bindings picker. This replaces the target’s text content when the value changes; it is not a static caption or an HTML template. App Connect must be included. Keep the target child in the markup and check the visible result when the source is initially empty and after it loads.
Target hrefBinds the href attribute on the selected element to an App Connect expression. The result must be appropriate for that attribute (a real URL or route; binding it does not create that destination). This updates an attribute; it does not save the value or execute an action. App Connect must be included. Keep the target child in the markup and check the visible result when the source is initially empty and after it loads.

You can select a setting, apply its documented value and check the relevant effect on the page.
