It could well be an additive list… perhaps even a compendium.

Container

A container is a control that groups other controls together.
This is one of the few controls that can exist outside of a column control. Most other controls need to be placed within a column control.

Property Group	Property	Description
Basic	Id	Unique identifier for the control
Basic	Label Text	Sets the label text within the control. (Fig. A)
Comments	Comments	Add some developer notes to the control. These are not customer-facing and are only visible in App Studio (Fig. B)
Data	Key Field	Indicates that a bound component is a key field. If true, the field is enabled if there is no current record, allowing the user to select an existing record or create a new one. Not relevant to this component
Layout	Minimum Width	Setting this allows 2 or more containers to “flex” their size and show up side-by-side if the space is available. (Fig. C)
Layout	Flex Direction	This defines the direction the controls (that can flex with a min width property themselves) within the container can flex. Values include Row (horizontal), Column (vertical), and Default (horizontal). (Fig. D)
Layout	Align Main Axis	No idea what this does. I would assume this is suppose to align them on the horizontal axis, but it does not do anythign.
Layout	Align Cross Axis	This aligns the controls on the vertical axis if the Flex Direction is “column”. If it’s set to “Row”, it just slightly shrinks the control. #Shrug. Valid options include Start, Center, and End. (Fig. E)
Layout	Gap	Where you buy clothes? I have no idea. This doesn’t seem to do anything.
State	Personalizable	If true, a user can personalize this component(hide/show)
State	Customizable	If true, a user can customize this component in child layers

Currency Box

Allows user to have the currency field displayed along with the amount. By default, the currency gets toggled as per value selected from the Currency Selector Control.
So far as I can tell, this will not do the exchange calculation for you. You will need to create events to populate each binding when the currency value changes. For instance, if you set the currency field to be $500.00 USD, you will need to have an event that converts it to Euros (or whatever) and stores it in the Currency Box’s Document Currency binding field. Then, when you switch the Currency Selector control between USD and EUR, it will toggle between each value in the Currency Box Field. This is a very manual control for setup…

Property Group	Property	Description
Basic	Id	This is the control’s unique identifier
Basic	Label Text	Alter the display text on the button (Fig. A)
Behavior	On Click	Click this to create an OnClick Event. On Click is triggered when a user clicks the button.
Behavior	On Blur	Click this to create an OnBlur event for the control. On Blur is triggered when the control loses focus.
Comments	Comments	Add some developer notes to the control. These are not customer-facing and are only visible in App Studio (Fig. B)
Data	Key Field	Indicates that a bound component is a key field. If true, the field is enabled if there is no current record, allowing the user to select an existing record or create a new one.
Data	EpBinding	Bind the control to a DataView.Column. This is your Base Currency field. (All Your Base Are Belong To Us)
Data	Ep Binding Document	Bind the control to a DataView.Column. This is your Document Currency field.
Data	Ep Binding ShowBase	Bind the control to a DataView.Column. This is a boolean value to indicate whether or not to show the base value when the document currency is selected to be shown. (Fig. C)
Data	Ep Binding DocumentSymbol	This is the binding for the document currency symbol. Incidentally, when you switch the currency to base by either using ShowBase or the Currency Selector, it does not change the currency symbol, soooo you’ll likely have to wire up an event to do this yourself. Yeehaw.
Layout	Alignment	Set the alignment for the control. Valid options are Left, Center, Right. Does not woooork.
Layout	Width	Sets the specific width (pixels) for the control. Does not woooork.
State	Personalizable	If true, a user can personalize this component(hide/show)
State	Customizable	If true, a user can customize this component in child layers
State	Hidden	Hides the control from view.
State	Disabled	Disables the control. The control will not allow editing or focus.
State	Read Only	Makes the control read only so that it will not allow editing. The control can still be focused.
State	Auto Focus	When enabled, the control is automatically focused on creation.
Advanced	Active Currency Type	This doesn’t seem to do anything? It’s supposed to set the active currency for the control by default, but noooop. Valid options include BASE, DOC, RPT1, RPT2, RPT3, GLOBAL, and Unspecified (It annoys me that the rest are capitalized, but Unspecified is not. I guess someone forgot to specify a consistent format )
Advanced	Mask	Sets the format for the field by overriding the extended properties Format. Only half works. It only takes into consideration the “>” and “9” options It doesn’t give a hoot what you put for the separators–yer gittin’ commas… and no decimals. And it only works on the base field. <Insert Nathan Fillion lost for words GIF> (Fig. D)
Advanced	Show Base	This forces the control to show the base value. Or dooooes it? Narrator: It does not.
Advanced	Show Symbol	Enable to show the currency symbol. (Fig. E)
Advanced	Disable Toggle	Enable this to make the Currency Selector useless. Changing the Currency Selector will no longer toggle the Currency Box between your base and document currencies.

**After thought: I’m not sure why the Active Currency Type property shows anything except BASE and DOC as there are no bindings for RPT1, RPT2, etc. like there were in days of old. Still seems like quite a nonsensical control.

State	Personalizable	If true, a user can personalize this component(hide/show)
State	Customizable	If true, a user can customize this component in child layers
State	Hidden	Hides the control from view.
State	Disabled	Disables the control. The control will not allow editing or focus.
State	Read Only	Makes the control read only so that it will not allow editing. The control can still be focused.
Advanced	Show Document Currency	When enabled the doc currency type will be ignored and base currency will be used. Does not seem to work.

File Picker Client

The file picker client allows a user to select a local file.
Note: This does not actually upload a document anywhere. It just saves the file name to a binding. You will need to create an event and use the file-transfer-erp widget to make things happen with the file.

Property Group	Properties	Description
Basic	Id	Unique identifier for the control
—	—	—
Basic	Label Text	Sets the label text within the control. (Fig. A)
Behavior	On Blur	Click this to create an OnBlur event for the control. On Blur is triggered when the control loses focus.
Behavior	On Create	Click this to create an OnCreate event for the control On Create is triggered when the control is painted to the GUI.
Comments	Comments	Add some developer notes to the control. These are not customer-facing and are only visible in App Studio (Fig. B)
Data	Key Field	Indicates that a bound component is a key field. If true, the field is enabled if there is no current record, allowing the user to select an existing record or create a new one. Would not make sense to be used with this control.
Data	EpBinding	Bind the button to a DataView.Column.
Layout	Alignment	Set the alignment for the control. Valid options are Lawful Good, True Neutral, Chaotic Evil… Left, Center, Right. (Fig. C)
Layout	Width	Sets the specific width (pixels) for the control. It would seem you cannot go below 290px (Fig. D)

State	Hidden	Hides the control from view.
State	Disabled	Disables the control. The control will not allow editing or focus.
State	Read Only	Makes the control read only so that it will not allow editing. The control can still be focused.
State	Auto Focus	When enabled, the control is automatically focused on creation.
Advanced	Multi Select	Allows a user to select multiple files. (Fig. E)
Advanced	Hide Search	Hides the search icon which disables the file selection. <Insert “But Why” Ryan Reynolds GIF> (Fig. F)
Advanced	Filter	Filters the file types allowed. Syntax is |.pdf If you want multiple file types, there’s a bug where it’s off by one (it does not loop through the last one), so you will have to double up like so: |.pdf|.xlsx|.xlsx The second |.xlsx will be ignored. It actually only looks at the even indexes because why not, lol… So doing this |.pdf|.xlsx|.doc|.txt|.css will give you a filter for PDFs, DOCs, and CSS… (Fig. G) I GUESS I’ll submit a ticket for that one. (CS0003827637 ← This was a mistake… )
Advanced	File Cache Key	Cache key to be used to store the file in cache. If empty, the file is not stored in cache. Not sure if this works, but I could not find the file in either the browser cache or the local cache.

File Picker Server

Allows a user to “select” a file form the server. I say “select” in quotes because this does not bring the file down. It only binds the path to the data binding fields. You will need to use an event with the erp-file-transfer widget to move things about.

GL Control Panel

A grid of GL Control Types and Codes.

This control is busted. I can’t get it to do anything. It doesn’t even react–as in no console or network activity of any kind. At all.
I will outline the properties and what they should do, but don’t expect this one to work. Or–if you do get it working, come tell me what TF I’m missing.

But FIRST! … Some code discrepancies between my control setup and Epicor’s native one.

Look at that. That boxed line there. The Rest Service.
Do you see that property anywhere? No? Me neither. But has that ever stopped me? …Nope! So, I went and added the line in myself in the JSON and pushed it back into the DB. Did it fix the control? Also nope. Whatever. I’m over it. I am NOT patient enough to submit this one to support. To walk them through how to set this up… I can’t won’t do it!

And now for something completely different.

Property Group	Property	Description
Basic	Id	Unique identifier for the control
Behavior	On Blur	Click this to create an OnBlur event for the control. On Blur is triggered when the control loses focus.
Behavior	On Create	Click this to create an OnCreate event for the control On Create is triggered when the control is painted to the GUI.
Comments	Comments	Add some developer notes to the control. These are not customer-facing and are only visible in App Studio (Fig. A)
Data	Key Field	Indicates that a bound component is a key field. If true, the field is enabled if there is no current record, allowing the user to select an existing record or create a new one. Not really relevant to this control.
Data	EpBinding	Bind the control to a DataView only. No column. You will also need to configure the dataview (Fig. B)
State	Personalizable	If true, a user can personalize this component(hide/show)
State	Customizable	If true, a user can customize this component in child layers
State	Hidden	Hides the control from view.
Advanced	Expand At Runtime	Expand the panel by default when the form opens at runtime. Doesn’t work. At all. It doesn’t even add it to the JSON. I can add it to the JSON and make it work. But the property doesn’t. (Fig. C)
Advanced	Business Entity	Set the business entity that the GL control type links to. The business entity defines what areas of the database the GL control type updates through its account and journal contexts. Example: APInvHed
Advanced	Search for GL Control Type	Set the search to run for the GL Control Type Field. Default search used is ‘GLCTEntity.GLControlType’. This comes up when you click the New Row icon, then Search. (Fig. D) See Addendum for how to configure the REST call to make new New button work.
Advanced	Search for GL Control	Set the search to run for the GL Control Type Field. Default search used is ‘GLCTEntity.GLControlCode’. This comes up when you click the New Row icon, then Search. See Addendum for how to configure the REST call to make new New button work.
Advanced	Full Screen	Enable full screen mode! (Fig. E)
Advanced > Rest call arguments	Related Entity	Set the data binding in the format View.Column for the realtedToFile parameter value. Example: ApInvHed
Advanced > Rest call arguments	Epbinding for first related entity key	Set the data binding in the format View.Column that will provide the value for the first key in the relatedToFile Table. Example: ABCCode.Integer1_c which maps to VendorNum. Run a BAQ on the EntityGLC table to get some sample data for each RelatedToFile.
Advanced > Rest call arguments	Epbinding for second related entity key	Set the data binding in the format View.Column that will provide the value for the second key in the relatedToFile Table. Example: ABCCode.String1_c which maps to InvoiceNum.
Advanced > Rest call arguments	Epbinding for third related entity key	Set the data binding in the format View.Column that will provide the value for the third key in the relatedToFile Table. Example: ABCCode.String2_c which maps to GroupID.
Advanced > Rest call arguments	Epbinding for fourth related entity key	Set the data binding in the format View.Column that will provide the value for the fourth key in the relatedToFile Table.
Advanced > Rest call arguments	Epbinding for fifth related entity key	Set the data binding in the format View.Column that will provide the value for the fifth key in the relatedToFile Table.
Advanced > Rest call arguments	Epbinding for sixth related entity key	Set the data binding in the format View.Column that will provide the value for the sixth key in the relatedToFile Table.
