Common Inputs

This page brings together the most common input types designers use during manual refinement. These inputs are usually simple, fast to fill out, and useful when you do not need a large structured form. They help the designer update one part of the experience quickly without opening a more complex setup.

Text

Use Text when the designer only needs to enter one short and simple value. This is the best choice for small inputs such as:
  • a title
  • a short label
  • a name
  • a tagline
  • a quick value that does not need formatting
If the content is short and straightforward, Text is usually the fastest and cleanest option. Text Placeholder

Editor

Use Editor when the designer needs more space to write or format content. This is useful for longer text blocks such as:
  • descriptions
  • rich content sections
  • notes or instructions
  • formatted text with paragraphs and structure
If a normal text field feels too small, Editor is usually the better choice. Editor Placeholder

Yes/No

Use Yes/No when the designer only needs to turn something on or off. This is best for simple decisions such as:
  • show or hide a feature
  • enable or disable a setting
  • allow or block a behavior
  • turn an option on for one experience
It is the fastest way to control a binary option. Yes No Placeholder

Select

Use Select when the designer must choose one option from a predefined list. This is useful when only one answer should be active, for example:
  • choosing one experience mode
  • selecting one category
  • picking one currency or one style
  • choosing one configuration option
It keeps the experience clean because the designer only picks one valid value. Select Placeholder

Multi

Use Multi when the designer should be able to choose more than one option. This is useful for cases like:
  • selecting multiple tags
  • choosing several features
  • assigning more than one style or category
  • enabling several related options at the same time
If Select is for one choice, Multi is for many choices. Multi Placeholder

Uploader

Use Uploader when the designer needs to add a file, image, or attachment. This can be used for:
  • product images
  • cover images
  • supporting files
  • media assets
  • extra documents connected to the experience
It is the right choice any time the designer needs to bring external files into the experience. Uploader Placeholder

Date

Use Date when the designer needs to choose a date, a time, or both. This is helpful for:
  • event timing
  • publishing schedules
  • booking-related inputs
  • expiration dates
  • start and end moments for offers or settings
It gives a clear and structured way to work with time-based information. Date Placeholder

When to use this group

These input types are best when the designer wants to make quick updates without opening a large advanced structure. They are small building blocks, but they are used all the time across different experience types.
