The different types of Text fields you can use.

Before setting up your Text Fields

When adding a Text Field to a Form Template, the following information may be important:

  • What is the text field? 
    (This is the Name of the Field)
  • Is the text mandatory? 
    (Check the box for Mandatory.)
  • Does this text come from somewhere else?
    (Use Prefill from.)
  • Is this field only needed when something else happens? (Check the box for Hidden.)
  • Is this checkbox only needed when a form is in a certain status? (Set the Form Status.)
  • Is this checkbox only for certain teams or zones? (Set the User Zone.)
