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
The following video demonstrates how form fields are used to create new properties in the monitoring environment.
