Yeeflow introduces default control styles, providing flexibility and consistency when designing forms, dashboards, and public forms. Authorized users can select from pre-configured styles or define custom styles to match specific branding or application requirements. This helps ensure all your designs follow a unified and professional appearance across different pages and applications.
When to Use
Default control styles help ensure a consistent and professional appearance across different parts of your application, including approval forms, dashboards, and public forms (external pages).
Consider using default control styles when:
You want all forms and dashboards to follow your company’s branding guidelines without manual styling for each control.
You are creating dashboards or external pages and need a unified, polished visual design.
Your organization manages multiple applications and requires a standard look for both internal and external users.
You want to improve efficiency by reusing style presets across different pages or applications.
Tip: Default control styles are especially useful in large teams or organizations where design consistency and productivity are key priorities.
Accessing the Control Style Settings
To configure control styles in your form or dashboard:
Open the design editor for your form, dashboard, or public form.
On the left panel, select the Page tab.
Expand the Appearance section.
Here you’ll find:
Default control styles: A dropdown menu to select a predefined style.
Custom styles: A button to open the detailed style editor.
Selecting a Default Control Style
In Yeeflow, the Default control styles dropdown lets you choose a predefined style for your forms, dashboards, or public forms. These styles fall into three categories:
Default styles — These are system-provided styles available for immediate use. They ensure a quick and consistent design baseline.
Global control styles — These are managed in the Admin Center, shared across all applications, and not editable at the application level. Examples include Clean flow and Clean flow_Green.
Application control styles — These are created or imported for a specific application. You can fully manage these under Application settings > Application styles. Examples include Modern minimal_S, Modern minimal_S1, and Secondary Underline.
Tip: To manage and configure these styles, go to Application settings > Application styles. From there, you can view, import, set defaults, or adjust your control styles as needed.
Applying Global or Application-Level Styles
Global control styles: Managed in the Admin Center and usable across applications. They provide a consistent design for all forms, dashboards, and public pages, but cannot be modified at the app level.
Application control styles: Created or imported for a specific application, giving teams flexibility to define app-specific visual standards.
This structure lets you standardize design at different scopes — global or application-specific.
Customizing Control Styles
Once you've selected a default control style in the Appearance settings, Yeeflow allows you to further customize it to match your specific design needs. This flexibility ensures that your forms, dashboards, and public forms reflect the desired look and feel of your application.
Accessing Custom Styles
Under Appearance > Default control styles, click Custom styles to open the field controls customization panel. Here, you can fine-tune various properties for controls across your forms and dashboards.
Customization Options
The customization panel includes two main tabs:
Content settings
Set display options for field titles, captions, and headers, including position, width, visibility, and collapsibility.
Style settings
Additional Actions
Click the ellipsis (···) next to the selected default control style to:
Reset to default style — Revert all customizations and return to the original settings of the chosen style.
Export this style — Download the current customized style as a
.ycsfile for reuse or sharing across applications.
Tip: Combine Content and Style settings to achieve both functional alignment and visual consistency.
Managing Application Control Styles
Yeeflow allows you to manage control styles at the application level, ensuring your forms, dashboards, and public forms maintain consistent design standards. You can view, import, edit, and organize these styles by navigating to Application settings >
Application styles.
Application control styles are divided into three types:
System Control Styles

Cannot be renamed, edited, or deleted.
Examples: Modern minimal, Light on Dark, Filled Contrast, Dark Header.
Global Custom Control Styles

Application custom control styles
These are styles created or imported specifically for the current application. They can be managed entirely within Application styles, offering flexibility for app-specific designs. Examples include Modern minimal_S, Modern minimal_S1, Secondary Underline, and any custom style you import (e.g., Light Black modern).
Actions available for application custom control styles
For each application custom control style, click the ellipsis (···) menu to:
Set as default — Make the style the default for all new forms, dashboards, and public forms in this application.
Import to replace — Update an existing style by importing a new
.ycsfile.Export this style — Download the style as a
.ycsfile for reuse or backup.Rename — Change the name of the style for clarity or organizational purposes.

Importing a custom control style
To import a new style:
Go to Application settings > Application styles.
Scroll to Application Custom Control Styles.
Click Import Custom Style (.ycs).
In the dialog, drag and drop your
.ycsfile or click choose a file to select it.
Click Next step, then provide a name (and optional description) for the style.
Click OK to complete the import. The new style will appear in the list.
Once imported, the style can be edited, renamed, or set as the default.
Tip: Managing control styles at the application level gives you flexibility to apply consistent design rules for a single app while supporting broader global standards through system and global styles.
Best Practices
Use system styles for simple, out-of-the-box design consistency.
Use global custom styles for cross-application branding.
Use application custom styles when you need unique looks for a specific app or external page.
Note: When you import or export apps or workflows, associated control styles are included to ensure design consistency across environments.
By selecting, customizing, and managing default control styles in Yeeflow, you can ensure your forms, dashboards, and public forms maintain a consistent, branded appearance while meeting specific design and functional requirements. Take advantage of both content and style settings to create polished, user-friendly layouts that enhance the overall user experience.
