Determines where the label appears. Valid values:

  • "ABOVE" (default) Displays the label above the component.

Size

Text

Determines the size of the tags. Valid values: "SMALL", "STANDARD" (default).

Visibility

showWhen

Boolean

Determines whether the component is displayed on the interface. When set to false, the component is hidden and is not evaluated. Default: true.

Margin Above

marginAbove

Text

Determines how much space is added above the layout. Valid values: "NONE" (default), "EVEN_LESS", "LESS", "STANDARD", "MORE", "EVEN_MORE".

Usage considerations

Using the tag parameter with text values

  • If the tags parameter is null, contains an empty array, or only contains tag items with no text value, then the label and instructions render with no tags displayed.
  • If multiple tags are displayed in a narrow container, tags can wrap onto multiple lines. An individual tag will never be split onto two lines.

Examples

Display tags with custom colors

Display multiple tags using looping

The following patterns include usage of the Tag Component.
