12.1.2.1.1.1.4. Appearance

In the Appearance category, users can customize the visual appearance of the control.

1. Placeholder: This field allows users to input the placeholder text for the control.
   • Alternatively, users can directly add a placeholder text to the control simply by clicking on the inside of the control in the design environment.
     
   • Users can customize the placeholder text in multiple languages.
     • As English is set as the default language in the system, any input provided in the English placeholder field will be used as the display placeholder for the control, regardless of other language options that may be available.
       • Similarly, any placeholder text entered in the design environment will automatically populate the English placeholder field.

         **Users can determine which languages are available for use in the Settings of the Designer. Currently, however, only five languages are supported on the web server: English, French, German, Arabic, and Hebrew.
