Controls in DX API

Understand how you can adjust UI elements to your needs with REST API by learning how controls are supported in V1 Pega DX API.

Controls are the building blocks for layouts and appear in various types, such as a text area. The following example of an API response shows a Bug Description text area:
The values in the field element correspond with the control properties. For example, the value for the Visibility field corresponds with the value of the visible property.
API calls always return the type of a control as a field element that include the following parameters:
  • controlFormat that defines the style of a control, such as a text field.
