palette offers a rich variety of controls that let you create virtually any form. All controls provide functionality as soon as you drop them into your form but need to be customized (edited) to suit the form you are designing.

The purpose of each control is described below.

The control options default to "true=Yes" and "false=No". When you drag the control from the palette, only the "Yes" option will be visible. You can change the option labels from Yes and No to whatever you want. It is important to note changes to the label for false are irrelevant as it will never be visible on the form. The option values cannot be changed and will always stay as true and false. Blank labels for options are not allowedChecking the “Yes” checkbox of the Boolean control results in a true value in the XML document.

Testing Your Mobile Form

Currently, the best way to test mobile forms/flows is to click the Test icon on the Forms Home Page in the designer. Sometimes, the mobile form/flow does not look the same in your desktop browser as it does on the mobile device. It is recommended that you design/debug your form/flow completely on the desktop first. Then you can add your form/flow to a space and look at it on the tablet. You can also add ?_device=phone or ?_device=tablet to the raw form/flow link or the share URL for a space or task list to render it for that device in a regular browser. Use ?_device= if this is the first parameter you are adding to the link. Change the ? to an & if this parameter follows other parameters in the link.

Signature

Drag a signature control from the palette to add an electronic wet signature in your form. You cannot enter a signature into the control in edit mode. In use mode, clicking or touching a signature control presents the signature entry dialog that is illustrated in the image below. Use your mouse, track pad, touchscreen or a stylus to sign. You can clear the signature in order to sign again by clicking the Clear button.The Cancel button negates any changes. All signature controls are empty of any signature (shows the X and a line) when the user first displays the form. Entered signatures are only applied to the use mode form when the user selects Done. Notice the signature is displayed in the form scaled down into the signature control.
