After you select a question type, tabs appear on the right that pertain to that particular question.
All question types have three tabs.
- General tab - The first part of the General tab is the same for all field types. The second part is field type specific and is described on the page that deals with that particular field type.
- The Appearance tab - Looks mostly the same for most field types. The Single selection and Multiple selection field types also have an option called Presentation.
- The Advanced tab - Looks mostly the same for most field types except Text which has more options.
Auto-complete
Tick the Use field name to identify this field box, to use the auto-complete function in the form. If a text field has the same name as a previously completed field, the browser can provide suggestions based on what was previously written. To enable auto-complete, the form must have a special name element. You can enter the following:
- name to enter name.
- given-name to enter first name
- family-name to enter last name
- title to enter title
- organisation to enter organisation name
- street to enter address
- postcode to enter postcode
- city to enter city
- e-mail to enter e-mail address
- phone to enter telephone number
- mobile to enter mobile number
You must not have two fields with the same name element on a page. This can cause a collision problem between questions.
