General properties

Property	Description
ID	The identifier of the component, primarily used for client-side interactions and identification in the HTML structure of the form. When you add a component, an ID is automatically generated to ensure it is unique in the form.
Documentation	A text field for internal design notes or future reference about this specific component. This information is not visible in Collibra.
Link text	A static or dynamic text to display as the link.
Tab Index	The tabbing order of this component in a user task form. When navigating through the form by pressing the `Tab` key, the cursor moves from one component to another based on their assigned tab index numbers. The component with the lowest tab index number receives focus first. The focus then moves sequentially to the component with the next highest number. For example, a component with a tab index of 1 receives focus before a component with a tab index of 2. The tab index is ignored if the component is inside a subform.
