How to add a text field?

A Text Field can be used in instances where information is needed in response to a question or request. They can be populated with Dynamic Fields to automatically fill in certain information (e.g. names, addresses, Service Request reference numbers, etc).

The Keyboard Type determines what type of input will be accepted:

01. “String” is your standard keyboard input.

02. “Number” is for numerical input only.

03. “Email” is for a valid email address.

04. “Phone” is for a valid phone number.

The “Width” and “Maximum Length” of Items already have default values, but you can alter them if you wish.

The “Source/Default Value” field allows you to pre-populate information, either through simple keyboard input, or through Dynamic Fields. For example, if you input [#FIRST_NAME# #LAST_NAME#] into this area, it will automatically populate with a Registered User’s first and last names. The submitter can type over this if they wish.

The “Calculation Point” is where a number of objects are calculated from the Form, or a certain number of Pages across the Form, either in cost or a number of Items. This is often used with the Payment Plugin, which is detailed in a later chapter.
