Overview

Decisions Cannot Analyze Every CSS Framework
While Decisions UI possesses its own HTML structure, incompatibility issues tend to occur with CSS frameworks that demand a specific HTML structure such as Bootstrap. Expanding upon this, the majority of opinionated CSS frameworks are incompatible with Decisions UI; however, atomic CSS frameworks are easier to apply in Forms and Pages. 

In addition, CSS frameworks implementing CSS resets or styles to native HTML tabs may also effect the entire Decisions Portal, so please proceed with caution.

Designers may upload their own custom CSS documents for further customization of Decisions Elements to easily fit the branding and image of any company or enterprise. 

CSS in Decisions are implemented in two main ways: pre-existing CSS documents may manually map their custom-defined classes to each Form component, or a Designer may craft a CSS document with Decisions's predefined classes for automatic mapping to their respective Form components. To apply a custom CSS file, navigate to Properties > Style to view a checklist of recognized CSS files. 

Atomic or unopinionated CSS frameworks like Tailwind should apply smoothly to most Forms and Pages depending on its components.
