Header

Headers are generally larger amounts of text that are used to create titles to divide an application in to different areas depending on their content.

Header Settings

To use a header widget, in addition to the default settings, the following settings are available.
SettingDescription
TypeYou can create three different sizes of headers: Header 1 (largest) to Header 3 (smallest) so that a hierarchy can be created based on text size.
Format You can select one of the following values:
  • Text
  • DateTime
  • Date
  • Time
The default value is Text.

Possible Uses

If an application has several different areas, you can use a header to create order and hierarchy.

For example, a food application for a grocery store may divide food in to several categories such as dairy, meat, and produce. These larger topics (Header 1) can then be divided in to smaller parts. For example, the produce header can contain two smaller headers (Header 2) underneath for fruits and vegetables. Within the category of vegetables, there may be an additional category of root vegetables that may have a smaller sized header (Header 3) with a list of different root vegetables underneath.
