  • Icon Select the icon that is to show on the control.

  • Target Variable The name of the control output variable.

  • Pre Large Text The large text shown on the control before being executed.

  • Post Large Text The large text shown on the control after being executed.

  • Post Small Text The small text shown on the control after being executed.

  • Condition To Hide

    Specify the condition that must be fulfilled for the control to be hidden. If left unspecified, the control will remain visible in the user step. Note that when controls are hidden, empty variables will be generated unless default values or pre-defined data exist.

  • Auto Run If checked, the external app launcher will automatically start when the user reaches a step where it is included.

  • Allow Empty Check this box if you want to allow the user to proceed in the app without activating the external app launcher.
