Form project - Form fields
The form fields make up a form. Different types of form fields are available
to design a form. The form fields have several functions:
explain the form to
the user (static text, picture) let the user specify
input data for the form project (input text, table, checkbox) initiate the execution
of form actions - submit (button) - make the form look appealing (pictuire, vertical
space, statis text)
To pass the form information to the script of a form project, variables
are used. By specifying the value of a form field, the user set the value
of a variable. Further, with some type of form fields, actions can be
associated. Actions include the execution of the script of a form project,
setting a variable to a specific value etc.
The following table summarizes the usage of the different types of form
fields. The column Variable
indicates if a form fields of the corresponding type can be used to setup
a variable. The column Actions shows if form actions can be executed by
activating or configuring the corresponding field type.
