Control Properties - General Tab 
This tab is used with all controls and fields in order to define the runtime visibility parameters (such as hidden or disabled) and default values.
You can use the Control type drop-down list to change the control that has been selected. The fields and controls of the tab may then change accordingly. In all fields, you can enter a dynamic expression that defines the exact visibility condition or the default value. To do so, click the Condition or Formula button to the right of the appropriate field.
