Controls
Use control rules to determine the appearance of a single property, such as a button or drop-down field, on a form.
Your user privileges determine which properties you can configure for controls. If you have access to Dev Studio, then you can access the full property panel in App Studio. If you do not have access to Dev Studio, then you have access to the simplified property panel.
