A
Field
holds data. A
Field Control is backed by a Field and allows end-users to view and edit the Field's value.
Field Controls are the primary method for capturing input within Verj.io.
They can be added to a
Page by:
- Dragging a Field from the
Fields View into the
Outline or WYSIWYG
View.
- Dragging a Field Control from the Palette into the
Outline or WYSIWYG view. This creates also creates a new Field.
Once created, a Field Control can't be changed to use another Field.
Field Controls are comprised of a:
- Label provides a name so the end-user understands what data is being displayed or requested.
- Editor contains the input element. The type of input element is defined by the Display Type property of the Field. A Textual representation of the Field's value is displayed when the Field Control's Display Only property is checked.
- Help Text provides guidance to end-users about the data. This may include what the data represents or if the end-users should provide the data in a particular format.
Each of these sections can be hidden by unchecking the Display Label, Display Editor and/or Display Help properties in the Field Control's Properties View.
