Styling a control

In the work area, run a new case by clicking Save and run.
In the open case, navigate to the view with the control that you want to edit.
In the view with the control, click Configure this view.
In the configuration panel on the right, hover over the control that you want to edit, and then click Edit.
On the Presentation tab, define any of the styles that you want to apply to the control:
- In the Control format field, choose the format that you want to apply to the control by pressing the Down arrow key.
- In the Label format field, choose the format that you want to apply to the label of the control by pressing the Down arrow key.
Click Apply.
