Property Types

Learn how to work with text, number, toggle, and select property types

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

Properties can accept a few types of data inputs.

Number

Number properties are the only values that can be referenced in Analytics.

These fields only accept numerical inputs.

Edit the value by:

  • Clicking into the box and typing a value

  • Hovering over the box and clicking the Decrease (left arrow) or Increase (right arrow) button

  • Clicking into the box and pressing the Up or Down arrow key

  • Click + drag in the box to "scrub" the value up or down

Each click or key press changes the value by the property's step amount.

Color

The basic color selector includes a dot with a color preview and a box to input a hex code.

Change the color by:

  • pasting in a new hex code

  • clicking on the dot to select a different color

Color Presets

The appearance section of properties also includes color presets.

Select a preset, or double click to replace a preset with another color.

Toggle

Choose a yes/no or on/off condition with a toggle.

Click the toggle to change the current selection.

Select

Select properties allow you to choose between different pre-determined options.

Dropdown Select

The select dropdown shows the current selection. To change the selection, click the dropdown and select a different option.

Special Select

Some built in select properties have a special UI design to make them appear as buttons or state icons. This example shows the label type selection: Label, Text, or Icon. Click the button that selects the option you want to enable.

Multi Select

Multi Select properties let you choose more than one pre-determined option at once. Click the field and select each option you want to apply.

Date

Date properties store a calendar date. Click the field and pick a date.

Text

Text fields allow any alpha-numeric input, including spaces, punctuation, and special characters.

Text fields can be used for label content...

Or to set a value. When a value is set, it is based on JSON - like the dash example here. Text-based value inputs are often used with input parameters in flows.

Text Area

Text Area fields hold longer text across several lines, such as notes about a site. Click into the box and type.

Rich Text

Pop ups accept Rich Text. Rich Text inputs allow formatting and styling, such as bold, italics, different font sizes, colors, and even embedded media like images and tables.
