View supported editions.
## Screen Properties When you don’t have a screen component or record field selected, the properties pane shows the entire screen. - Configure Frame—Control whether the header and footer are displayed for this screen. These options are supported only in Lightning runtime. If you hide the footer, use a custom screen component to let the user navigate between screens. - Control Navigation—Deselect the navigation options that you want to disable for this screen. By default, navigation options appear as buttons in the screen footer. The Next action is available when an element is in the flow after the screen. The Finish action is available when the screen is the last element in the flow. The Previous action is available when a screen is before this screen. The Pause action is available when **Let users pause flows** is enabled in your org’s Process Automation settings. For example, a flow prompts a user to enter information and uses that information to get a Contact record. If no matching contact is found, the flow displays a screen to tell the user to go back and try again. ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-platform_automation-264-0-0-production-enus/60568438-ec7e-4665-acd1-7c80dcbe60d5/images/icon_tip.png) Tip - If you hide the footer but want to let the user navigate between screens, expose the actions with Lightning components. - If a data element precedes the screen element, such as Update Records, or an action, such as Post to Chatter, deselect **Previous**. - To force the flow user to go back, such as to correct an earlier input, deselect **Next or Finish**. If the Pause action is enabled: - Use **Pause Confirmation Message** to tell the user where to resume the flow. For the components that list a user’s paused flows, see [Viewing Paused Flow Interviews](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_pause_cmp.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can view paused flow interviews on the Home page, the navigation menu in the Salesforce mobile app, or in the Automation app. You can resume paused flow interviews with a single click."). - Customize the flow’s [interview label](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_ref_properties.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A flow version’s properties consist of its label, description, interview label, and type. These properties drive the field values that appear on the flow’s detail page."). - In your org’s Process Automation settings, enable **Let users pause flows**. - Provide Help—Give your users more context for this screen. The text you enter is available in an info bubble in the screen’s header. If you hide the header but want to expose the help text, use a custom screen component. ## Screen Components The Components tab contains all the standard input components, standard display components, and custom components that are available for the screen. Click and drag a component to add it to the screen. ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-platform_automation-264-0-0-production-enus/60568438-ec7e-4665-acd1-7c80dcbe60d5/images/icon_tip.png) Tip If you have many custom components, enter text in the search field to find the one you need. You can access third-party custom components on AppExchange using the button at the bottom of the pane. ## Record Fields Build screen flows faster by adding your existing Salesforce record fields directly from the Fields tab. When you add a record field to a flow screen, the field’s name, data type, help text, requiredness, and existing values are automatically configured for you. To add a record field, select or create a record variable, then click and drag a field to add it to the screen. #### See Also - [Flow Elements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_ref_elements.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "An element represents an action that the flow can run.
