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