For example, a Section consists of the Heading text, sub-text, help text, a collapse/expand button and a significant amount of JavaScript and CSS. An address block contains several different simple data entry fields. A component such as a Driver's License scanning component may have multiple data entry fields, a camera button, descriptive images, and more.
Multi-field components can be built as either a native component or a re-usable block.

The Template Designer is responsible for implementing and maintaining templates which are the starting point for all forms created in Maestro.
The key activity of the Template Designer is to implement the template content such as common page components that typically surround specific form content, including header, navigator, and footer. The Template Designer will also create styles that the Form Builder will use in the creation of form content including text field styles, buttons, and section headers.
-
A custom block is a collection of simple components, that can be re-used. An example of a re-usable block is an Address Block, which consists of two lines of text plus City, State, and ZIP Code. Unlike a native multi-field component, each of the sub-elements of the custom block will be visible in the Structure tab and can be modified individually by the person using your block.

Semantic Versioning is a formal convention for specifying compatibility using a three-part version number: major version; minor version; and patch. The patch number is incremented for minor changes and bug fixes which do not change the software's application programming interface (API). The minor version is incremented for releases which add new, but backward-compatible, API features, and the major version is incremented for API changes which are not backward-compatible. For example, software which relies on version 2.1.5 of an API is compatible with version 2.2.3, but not necessarily with 3.2.4.

Session management is the rule set that governs interactions between a web-based application and users. Browsers and websites use HTTP to communicate, and a web session is a series of HTTP requests and response transactions created by the same user. Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, where each request and response pair is independent of other web interactions, each command runs independently without knowing previous commands. In order to introduce the concept of a session, it is necessary to implement session management capabilities that link both the authentication and access control (or authorization) modules commonly available in web applications.
