There are three levels of Styles in frevvo: GlobalStyles1161962096, tenant and user. 

  1. Global Styles - can only be created by frevvo. They cannot be removed/edited by anyone including the frevvo superuser. Global Styles are available to all tenants and users. You will not see the global styles on the Styles tab but they will show in the Style dropdown as choices.
  2. Tenant Styles - created/modified/uploaded by the initial tenant admin ONLY.  This is the admin user that was created when the tenant was created. Tenant-level styles are available to all users in the tenant.
  3. User Styles - created/modified/uploaded by the designer user. They are only available to that user.

The Styles tab is divided into two sections: My Styles and Tenant Styles. GlobalStyles 1161962096 are not listed here. Styles created/modified/uploaded by the designer user will be listed in the My Styles section. Styles created/modified/uploaded by the initial tenant admin will show in the Tenant Styles section. Styles created/uploaded by additional admins in a tenant will not display here.

  • The top section of the page provides a field for the Style name, a description and the default colors (hex values) for controls explained in the table below.
  • The bottom section of the page provides the ability to set colors for specific control types. The overrides in this section are helpful if you want your frevvo projects/forms/workflows to match a Style Guide used by your company.

If you click on the Submit button in a form that contains invalid data or required fields that are empty,  the invalid fields will be highlighted with an orange background color. You can change the background color by changing the value of the Submit Error Highlight property in the style then applying the modified style to your form/workflow. Follow these steps:

  1. CreatingStyles1161962096
  2. Specify the hex value for the color that you want in the Submit Error Highlight field. Save the modified Style.
  3. Edit your form/workflow. Click on the toolbar then the Style tab in the form/workflow property panel on the left. Apply the Style to your form/workflow by selecting it from the Style dropdown.
  4. Save your form/workflow.

The image shows a style specifying a red color (#ff5b4f) for invalid fields and the result when the Submit button is clicked.

This will apply the selected layout and style to all forms and workflows in that project where the designer has left the FormStyleProperties-Layout 1161962096 unselected. If the designer selected a specific layout and style for any given form or workflow, that selection will take precedence over the project's selection.

To select a specific layout or style for any given form or workflow, edit the form or workflow, then select the Settings editing mode. Click the Style tab, and pick your layout and style from the respective dropdown lists. These form/workflow designer style properties will override your selected style's properties. For example, if your style sets labels to blue you can override this for a particular control to yellow using the LabelColorandLabelSize 1161962096.


_styleId URL Parameter

Styles can be selected dynamically via the form or portal using the URL parameter _styleId. This parameter takes precedence over a style selected at the project or form level. Append _styleId=<style name> to the share link of your form/workflow or portal. The share URL shown appends the _styleId parameter equal to a style named Orange that was created by the designer.
