Form fields

Form fields are required when designing new report types but can also be used for any non-measurement related data fields. These can be added to: locations, lines, nodes (not used in the UI), location-ports, groups. Form fields can consist of any of the following elements:

• Text (1 line)

• Text (multiple lines)

• Select one from a list (select)

• Select one from a list (radio)

• Select one or more from a list (switch)

• Select one or more from a list (checkbox)

• File

• Files

• The key is the unique name given to this form field.

• The name is the name that is shown in the application

Depending on the choice of form field type, additional options are available:

• A form field value can be set to optional

• Form field can be shown only when a certain condition is satisfied

• Regular expression can enforce a structure of string input

• Prefix is displayed on the left of the input box

• Suffix is displayed on the right of the input box

• Hint is the text displayed below the input box where you can enter text
