The Context tab displays all of the app's properties. Each property corresponds to a separate field where users enter data on the Create, View, and Edit pages. Each field is used to enter data of a specific type. For example, the Contractor field property has the Full Name type. On the app page, it will appear as a field for entering the contactor’s full name.
