Fields

Each form is comprised of fields that are generated at runtime from the various elements of your form. Each field has several mandatory settings, and several optional settings. Depending on the selection of a setting, you may need to enter various attributes to determine how that setting operates.

General Settings

FieldName

The FieldName is a mandatory setting that is not able to be edited once it is initially set. This becomes the [TAG] that is included in the Html file at the location you would like to show the field on the form. This must be a single word with no punctuation or spaces, (Dashes “-“and underscores “_” permitted) because it also is used as the ID of the ASP.NET Control that is created in the place of the [TAG] at runtime when showing the form.

Required Field

This setting allows you to determine whether or not the field is a required field. If this is selected the user will not be able to complete the form unless a value is contained within this field.

Unique Value Field

This setting, if checked will show the unique validator stored procedure name text box, to specify the name of the stored procedure for that instance. If this setting allows you to specify if this field must have a unique value for every user that fills out the form; such as Username.

Note: The current version doesn’t automatically install custom SQL stored procedures. If you describe a stored procedure in this setting you will need to contact the hosting administrator or use the Host > SQL Module to run the SQL manually. 

Index

This setting allows you to specify the order that the fields are sent to the database.

CssClass

This setting controls the CssClass of the current field control. This is an optional setting, but is important for creating the uniform layout and styles of your fields.

Width

This setting controls the displayed Width of the current field control to provide uniform positioning of the fields on your form.

Visibility

This setting allows you to control who sees this field on the form. This can be used to show the current username of the person who filled out the form even if there is no Username field on the form

Include in CSV Exports

This setting allows specifying that the field should or should not be included when exporting the completed form values to a Comma Separated Values format.

Locked for User editing after completion

This setting allows for locking of field values after the initial completion of the form. If this value is set and the user is enabled to view their form after completion the field with this setting enabled will not be enabled for editing but must remain as they initially filled it out.
Locked for Admin editing after completion

This setting allows for locking of field values after the initial completion of the form. If this value is set the Admin user may not change the value of this field after the form is completed.
