Containers are used to group components together. You can move the desired number of components inside a container to organize your app better.

:::caution Restricted components
In order to avoid excessively complex situations, certain components, namely **Calendar** and **Kanban**, are restricted from being placed within the Container component using drag-and-drop functionality.

If the builder attempts to add any of the aforementioned components inside the container, an error message will be displayed:

`<Restricted component> cannot be used as a child component within the container.`

## Enabling Vertical Scroll on Container

To enable the vertical scroll on the container, drag and place any component to the bottom grid of the container and the container will automatically enable the scrolling.

## Loading State

To activate the loader on the Container component, access its properties and dynamically adjust the **Loading State** property by clicking the **fx** button. You can set it to either `{{true}}` or `{{false}}`.

For instance, if you wish to display the loader on the container when the query named `restapi1` is in progress, set the **Loading State** value to `{{queries.restapi1.isLoading}}`.

## General
### Tooltip

A Tooltip is often used to specify extra information about something when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the component.

Under the **General** accordion, you can set the value in the string format. Now hovering over the component will display the string as the tooltip.
