The Page Info tab contains essential settings and metadata for your page.

  • UUID: A unique identifier for the page.

  • Description: You can add a description for internal reference (not displayed to the user).

  • Scoped Hook Set Name: Specify the hook set name for scoped hooks. .

  • Authentication: Toggle authentication requirements for the page.

  • Delete Page: Permanently delete the page.

Misc Form Settings

All settings for your page are defined in JSON format under Misc Form Settings. This includes:

  • namedActions: These are local scripts defined in JSON, specifying action like onFormLoad. While it’s recommended to edit your scripts and actions in the Actions tab, you can also manage them directly in JSON format here.

  • Style Classes: Customize the styling for the body and page using styleClassesBody and styleClassesPage.

  • Other Settings: Control behaviors like requestHook, sendFullSchema, and validateOnBack. These settings correspond to options available in the Integration tab, such as onFormRequest and Send Full Schema in Utility Hooks. Changes made here will affect the behavior as if they were toggled in the Integration tab.
