Defining Templates for Dynamic Forms

Structure of a Dynamic Form.

When you add a Field, you can select a predefined Template. This will then prefill some of the Field properties: Name, Control Type, and depending on the selected Control Type also: Lookup, Multi Value, Input Type, Decimal Places, and UoM.

The Template prefills some Field properties.

• In the Field editor, click + Template.

Click + Template. 

• Enter a Caption.
• Enter a Control Type, e.g., "Text", "Numeric", "Signature", "Image", "Option List", etc. 
• Select a Lookup list if applicable. Note: If the predefined lookup lists are not suitable, you can define a new lookup list. 
• Check Multi Value, if multiple inputs should be possible.
• The Input Type will be based on the Control Type.
• Specify the Decimal Places, if applicable.
• Select a UoM, if applicable.
