The App Builder provides a diverse range of input widgets designed to gather data from app users. This collected input can be subsequently processed and/or stored using application logic. Input widgets are closely aligned with , as they commonly transmit captured data and other properties to a linked function.
The following input widgets are available:

: Allows uploading images, PDF, and CSV files.
: Allows taking pictures and uploading them.
: Allows user to sign.
: Allows scanning barcodes and QR-codes.
: Allows scanning documents.
Captured input data in the UI must be passed to one or more in the application logic for processing or storage. To enable this data transfer, an input widget must be linked with the input box of a function. It's important to note that input widgets have the flexibility to be linked with multiple functions simultaneously.
To link an input widget with an input box:
Select an input widget in the UI editor.
Drag and drop the input box of a function onto the selected widget.
When the link is established, the input box indicates it with stating the property to be passed. For example, this can be formData.
Click the x next to the text to unlink an input widget from an input box.
Most input widgets only offer a main data property. However, some input widgets can pass additional data properties or behavior properties to the application logic. To change the property to be passed to the application logic:
Link widget and function as explained above.
Click on the property in the linked input box to open a list of available properties.
Select the desired property from the list.
