Basic Collections & Properties

👥 Users

The Users Collection automatically comes with every Adalo app. This collection will hold all the information related to anyone who uses the app. This information is initially collected from a user when they sign up to use your app.

• Email [Text] — the user’s email address.

• Password [Encrypted] — the user’s password to log into their account. This cannot be viewed by anyone, including administrators.

• Username [Text] — the user’s username.

• Full Name [Text] — the user’s first and last name.

• Profile Photo [Image] — the user’s profile picture.

Layout Settings

Each screen in the Account Settings Feature Template is created using responsive design. The screens will look good on any device or tablet.

Most screens have been designed with Custom Layouts. If you add a new component to a screen, you might notice that the other screen sizes are impacted.

Layout Overview

To view or edit the layout for different screen sizes — click the Screen title to reveal the dropdown.

The default view for this template is Desktop. When you change the screen size for one screen in the Builder, it does not change the screen size of the rest of the screens on the canvas.

Hidden Components

In each view, there may be components that do not appear on Desktop, but are visible on Mobile. These are grayed out in the lefthand panel & denoted with an icon.

Another way to view which device components are visible on is the Layout Tab here:

Custom Layout

Some components come with custom layouts based on screen size. To view those settings, check the Layout Tab & scroll to the Custom Layout Settings.

Example Use Cases

• Any app that has users where information about those users is stored will need one of these! If you use the log-in and sign-up screens — you can use this feature template.
