Description

. (Optional) Add a value to the Question (Label) field. + When a Question (Label) is specified, it will override the Question (Name) on your form. + Using this feature you can: + * Show multiple fields with the same question or label. + * Use internal field names for reporting purposes, but show user-friendly field labels on the form.

. (Optional) Check the Hide the question checkbox. + When checked, this setting hides the Question (Name) label. + It leaves the answer box in place.

Default answer

Prefill the field with a default answer. Field short-codes can also be used to prefill dynamic values directly from responses in other fields within the form.

Provide an example of a response or required format to guide form users. The placeholder text will disappear when a value is typed in.

. (Optional) Add further information and instruction. + When populated, this field presents immediately adjacent to the Question (Name) field.

Answer Rules & Validation

Run validation checks on data entered on the form (such as numbers only, alphabet only, etc) when a form user submits the form, or proceeds to the next page.

Read-only - do not allow entry into this field

Lock a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as 'today’s date' or 'customer ID' that is pre-filled on the form and you do not want form users to change it.

Hidden - do not show this field on the online form

Hide a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as 'today’s date' or 'customer ID' that is pre-filled on the form and you do not want form users to see it.

. Hide this field until certain conditions or responses in other fields are met. + For more information, see Conditional logic section.
