What is the purpose of the input widget in OutSystems?

The input widget in OutSystems is specifically designed to accept user input that can then be bound to a variable within the application. This functionality enables developers to capture data directly entered by users, whether it be text, numbers, or other forms of input, which can be processed or stored as needed.

When utilizing the input widget, it is essential to link it properly to the appropriate variable so that any data entered by the user can seamlessly integrate into the overall logic of the application and persist where necessary, such as in a database or for further computations. This capability is crucial for creating interactive and dynamic web applications where user input drives the behavior of the application.

The other options, while they describe different types of widgets or functionalities, do not align with the specific purpose of the input widget itself.
