These options govern the way the Interaction is set up and arranged.

The internal name of the Interaction.

The name displayed in the Title Bar when the window is opened.

A one line description to assist the user.

How the Interaction is arranged with respect to any other Interactions.

These options control how the Interaction looks and behaves. Use CSS when prompted without tags.
Icon
This is the Image used to represent the Interaction in the answerSpace.
Logo Banner
When the Interaction is displayed, this is the banner shown in the Header.
Odd Row Style
If the Interaction returns rows of results (such as in a Scrape or a Form View listing), then this controls how odd rows (the first, third, fifth etc.) are displayed, provided the contained Interactions have been set up to be displayed in List View. (See “AnswerSpace Options” for more details or “Styling Your answerSpace”).
Exceptions to this are margin and padding css.
Even Row Style
See above.
Background Style
Will affect the background colour of the box within the answerSpace upon which the Interactions are displayed - NOT the background colour of the Interaction Page. This can be overridden at a lower level, provided ‘Inherit’ has not been turned on. (See “Styling Your answerSpace” for more details).
