Tile 
Definition
A tile is an interaction component that consists of controls. Controls are displayed as fields in the mobile client application. A tile is modeled in the Tile Designer window and is the lowest level in the interaction component hierarchy.
Use
You can design a tile to group a logical set of information. By selecting a tile’s data source, the data source properties appear in the tile as fields, labels, grids, and buttons. Tiles are assigned to tile sets to become panels of the screen which the tile set represents.
