Your system contains hundreds of standard controls (formerly HTML Property rules). Use the Records Explorer to see a complete list of the standard and custom controls available to you.
A few controls accept parameters to provide a wide range of display formats for input and output values. When possible, use auto-generated or parameter-based controls in sections, flow actions, and harnesses, so that your application uses fewer distinct rules and operates more efficiently. See Standard controls with parameters. and Standard auto-generated controls.
