Fields-tab

The Fields tab shows a list of all current Fields, and allows to create a new Field.

This tab is opened when editing a Form, as it is most used.

The table lists all current fields, including Headers ( different background ) and Sections ( Section definition is marked by a ). When Fields belong to a Section, they have an increased indent in this view, but not in the End-user view (unless defined - see below).

The different columns of the table are:

• Sequence: Change the selected number to order the Fields as you want. Number 1 is the top position

• Label: The Label of the default language

• Type: The selected type of the Field

• Internal label : The internal label of this field • Req?: 'Yes' if required, 'No' if not required

• Live : "Yes" indicates that this Field is shown to the Users

• Overview? : "Yes" indicates that this Field, if filled in, is shown on the Overview page of the Form & in the Process.

• Action: Delete & Edit action buttons

• : Sequence Drop-down: Change the selected number to order the Fields as you want. Number 1 is the top position
• : Change section : Change the section of the selected Field •
• : Change the details of the selected Field
• : Copy the selected Field. When a Section is copied all field contained in the Section are copied also. Additional options for internal label naming are presented to the user.
• : Delete : Delete the selected Field.
• :allows for a preview of the Form in a new browser window.
• : Add a new Field to the Form

Show used CSS classes

When the tab 'Fields' is open, you do not see the used classes. To enable this, add &css=1 to the link.

For example this link : http://master.smt-x.com/Forms/Admin/formDetail.aspx?tab=1&id=94

if you change it to : http://master.smt-x.com/Forms/Admin/formDetail.aspx?tab=1&id=94&css=1 ,

you see the classes in the overview:

Copy existing field

When a new field is added on top of the screen a section called "Copy from existing field" is displayed. This allows the copying of all field settings from another field definition into the newly added field. This section is only displayed for new fields.

Select from the selection list the Form from which a field definition should be copied. You can also type in the name and the list will be filtered. Once a form is selected, the second drop down list will show all fields within the selected form. The default language label of fields is used in this list. When a field is selected, click on the copy button. The screen will reload and the Copy from existing field section disappears. If the copied field belonged to a section, that section value is also copied.
