Property Panel

The Property Panel appears on the right side of the modeler when you select a node or edge. It provides all the tools needed to configure the selected element.

Single element selection

When a single node or edge is selected, the Property Panel shows:

Label

The display name of the element. Click the label to edit it inline.

Configuration form

A dynamic form generated by the backend, specific to the selected component's plugin. Form fields vary depending on the component type and may include:

  • Text fields: For string values.
  • Select lists: For choosing from predefined options.
  • Checkboxes: For boolean settings.
  • Number fields: For numeric values.
  • Text areas: For multi-line text.

Token support

Some configuration fields accept tokens -- dynamic values from the workflow execution context. Fields that support tokens show a visual indicator during token drag operations. See Replay & Testing > Tokens for details.

Annotation

An optional text note that documents what this element does. Annotations are displayed on the canvas as attached labels. Toggle annotation visibility globally using the annotation button in the toolbar.

Info popup

Click the i button in the panel header to view metadata about the selected element, including:

  • Component ID
  • Plugin ID
  • Provider module
  • Component type
  • Documentation link (if available)

Replay data

When replay data is available for the model, an event node's Property Panel includes a Load replay data button. Clicking it fetches execution history for that event. See Replay & Testing for details.

Multi-selection

When multiple elements are selected (using Shift+click or box selection), the Property Panel shows a Multi-Selection Panel with:

  • Selection summary: Count of selected nodes and edges.
  • Lock/Unlock all: Toggle the locked state for all selected elements.
  • Delete all: A danger-styled button that deletes all selected elements after a confirmation dialog.
