Create Tile Data

The Create Tile Data step is used in conjunction with the Tile Source Flow Behavior to define and provide data for a Page or Form Tile.

This information is mapped via the Tile's step's multiple Line Inputs and can be further customized using options under the STYLES category of the step's Properties tab.

This allows control of the Tile's contents and can be used to add branding, add visual flair, or as means of displaying information relevant to the Page/Form it is applied to. Tiles can be utilized in a variety ways such as additional navigation, as a dynamic way to display statistics (such as user portal access), or as a way to add diagrams to a Page/Dashboard.
