Animated Label

You can use the Animated Label UI Pattern to animate a label when there is a user input.

How to use the Animated Label UI Pattern

1. In Service Studio, in the Toolbox, search for Animated Label.

   The Animated Label widget is displayed.

   

   If the UI widget does not display, it may be because you used a ready-made app, which deletes unused widgets from the module. To make additional widgets available in your app:

   a. Go to Module > Manage dependencies.

   b. Search for and select the relevant Producer, for example OutSystemsUI. Ensure Show All is selected.

   c. On the Public elements for the selected Producer displayed on the right, ensure Show All is selected.

   d. Search for and select the element you want to add, and click Apply.

   e. In Service Studio, in the Toolbox, search for the widget again.

2. From the Toolbox, drag the Animated Label widget into the Main Content area of your application's screen.

   

   By default, the Animated Label widget contains Label and Input placeholders.

3. Enter the relevant text in the Label placeholder. In this example, we enter Name.

   

4. Create a new local variable for the Input widget by selecting the Input widget and on the Properties tab, and from the Variable drop-down, and select New Local Variable.

   

5. Enter a name for the new local variable. In this example, we enter UserInput.

   

6. On the Properties tab, you can change the look and feel of the Animated Label by setting the (optional) properties.

   

After following these steps and publishing the module, you can test the pattern in your app.
