Free Text Box
Hover underlined items to view a definition of the word or phrase.
Free Text Boxes are used on forms to capture short text answers (e.g. First Name, Last Name etc.).
To add a new Textbox to your form:
- Click Create a New Component > Free Text Box
- Type the Question Text to appear next to the answer box (e.g. First Name)
- Add a Merge Tag if the answer is going to be used elsewhere in the system i.e. to populate fields in Reports or in Email Templates
- Set the Layout to determine if the answer box appears adjacent to the question text (Horizontal) or underneath the question text (Vertical)
- Tick the Required box if you would like to make the question mandatory (i.e. the form can't be submitted until the question is answered)
- Press Save & Return or Save & Add Another if you need to add another component to your form
There are no character limits on free text answer boxes
