Repeat

   MaestroThe UI design product.  |   Form Builder |  All versions This feature is related to all versions.

Maestro provides the Repeat component (widget), which is a container for other components, such as text fields and labels, that allows a form user to add the whole repeating component multiple times to a form, by clicking a Repeat Add Button. This is especially handy when adding another customer's name or address field to a form.

Repeats are handy for creating data structures using Data Field components, so you can organize application-specific data but have no visual representation in a form. A typical example is shown below:

  1. Parent repeat component
  2. Data field of the parent repeat
  3. Child repeat component
  4. Data field of the child repeat

Usage

  1. Open the Palette pane in the Maestro Editor.
  2. Locate the Repeat component within the Repeats folder.
  3. Drag the component into the View pane or the Wireframe.
  4. Configure the component's properties via the Properties pane.
