Embedded View
Renders another view inside this one, with parameters. This is the single most valuable pattern in the Designer: author a faceplate once, embed it wherever that equipment appears.
Flex Container
A flow container for grouping and arranging children. The workhorse of layout — most screens are a few of these nested two or three deep.
Flex Repeater
Repeats a view once per item of a bound array. The screen then grows and shrinks with the plant instead of being rebuilt when equipment is added.
Tab Container
A tabbed container where only the open tab is mounted — so an eight-tab screen costs about as much to open as a one-tab screen.
