Layout Format

The format of the layout is simply a JSON object with the list of widgets for a given task.

A widget consists of:

  • a label;
  • a field;
  • a type;
  • a set of properties.
{
   "name": "layout-name",
   "layout": [
       {
           "metadata": [
               {
                   "label": "A label", // the label to be displayed for the field
                   "field": "field", // the variable name of the task
                   "type": "text", // the widget type
                   "properties": { // a set of properties configuring the widget
                       "prop1": "value1",
                       "prop2": "value2",
                       ...
                   }
               }
           ]
       },
       ...
   ]
}
