The Caption tab enables you to define a heading for the current component. By default, only group elements, both simple and complex, are drawn within the frame. In this way, you can better visualize the grouping. However, you can define a frame or another kind of heading for each individual component.
The cardinality definition of the current component from the XML schema specifies whether a frame is drawn as optional or not. (0 = optional, 1 = mandatory).

The following two operating ranges exist:
Operating range | Description |

all sub-elements | All descendants are affected by the defined indent. |
Categories of visualization
The following visualization categories exist:
Visualisation category | Description |
|---|---|

Border | Draws a border around the entire component. |
Header | Draws a bar with color gradient over the entire width of this component.. |
Separator (modern) | Draws a thin line over the entire width of this component (to the right of the heading text). |
Separator (classic) | Draws a thin line below the heading text, over the entire width of this component. |
XUI component - Different headings 
In the above example, all the visualization categories have been used, producing the expected and distinct visual effect. For the composition „shipTo" (1) the border was selected. The element „billTo" (2) is represented as a title. Finally, the option „paymentMethod" (3) is shown as a modern dividing line, and the input field „comment" (4) as a classical dividing line.
Visibility
The following three categories of visibility exist:
Visibility category | Description |
|---|---|
(default) | By default, only the group headings (simple or complex) are produced. |
Always | Defined category of overview is always displayed. |
Never | Defined category of overview is never displayed. |
dependent on | Component takes over the kind of heading belonging to the node referred by xpath. |
The following two operating ranges exist:
Visibility-Operating range | Description |
|---|---|
