The Date/Time control relies on the timezone of the browser. The time portion will be calculated based on the date and whether or not Daylight Savings Time is observed in that time zone.
The Date control is used to denote a day and has no dependencies on time zone.
For example, A time of 5:00 PM is entered into a Time control and a date of 2/5/2014 plus 5:00 PM into a Date/Time control by a user located in the America/New_York (Eastern Standard Time). When the submission is viewed in the EST time zone, the Time Control displays 5:00 PM. This value will not change. The time portion of the Date/Time control also displays 5:00 PM, because it takes on the timezone of the browser (EST) and it is not further adjusted because Daylight Savings Time is not observed in EST on February 5th.

supports 5 types of Selection controls. Selection controls let users choose from a list of options instead of having to enter text.
- Dropdown
- Radio
- Checkbox
- ComboBox
- T/F
- ComboBox
...
Dynamic Options
Options for the Dropdown, Radio and Checkbox controls can be populated using 2 methods:
- Method 1 - Designers enter the options at design time by typing them in the Options property for the chosen selection control. Options entered in this way are static - they will not change at runtime. The controls are discussed below:
- Method 2 - Designers can dynamically populate options at runtime from an external RESTful web service source. This can be accomplished with a business rule or if your preference is not to write JavaScript you can use the Dynamic Option feature. This method eliminates the need for a business rules.
Refer to the Dynamic Options topic for the details.
Dropdown
This adds a dropdown list to your form. By default the first choice in the dropdown list will be blank; you define the other choices by editing the control’s Options properties. Keyboard selection of an option is not currently supported but is planned for a future release. Users can type-ahead. For example, select a dropdown control and type "S" and it jumps you to options that start with "S". This is extremely useful for dropdown controls that have a long list of options. This control is a standard HTML dropdown so it does not allow using backspace to clear selected options. The Comment property can be used to provide a text box for additional information when the last option in the selection control is chosen.

LDAP customers may have many users/roles configured on their LDAP server. What if the designer wants to pull a list of users or roles from their LDAP server into a form or flow for user selection? Using a traditional dropdown control is not ideal especially when you have thousands of users to pick from. Dropdown control options are confined to a predefined list and maybe limited by the default max result size of an LDAP query. The ComboBox control allows users to pick from a predefined list of values or type a value that is not in the list.
The Combobox is used internally for functions such as creating the Access Control List.
...
Users can typeahead to narrow the choices based on the letters entered. User ids and roles are case sensitive so remember to use the correct case when typing.
The combobox supports the ability to specify single or multiple values. Simply check the single value checkbox if you want to limit the choice to one value.

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 allowed. Checking the “Yes” checkbox of the Boolean control results in a true value in the XML document.

The Rich Text editor will be vertically expanded when you show the menus in Message Controls or any group control that you drop a Message control into that is less than 4 columns wide.
Message Control in a Repeat
You can drag and drop a Message control from the palette into a repeat or into a section that then gets dropped into a repeat. You can write Rules affecting the Message controls in repeats. Message controls in Repeats can contain templates. Repeat controls containing Message controls can be converted to Tables. Refer to the Control Type property for the details.
Horizontal Layout using the Message Control
Let's say you wanted to modify a section of your form to reflect a horizontal layout as shown in the image. c
One approach would be to use the Table and Radio Controls. Another alternative is to use three Message controls and three Radio controls. Follow these steps:
- Drag and drop a Panel onto the designer canvas.
- Drop Message controls into the panel for the user instruction and the labels Fellowship announcements, Conferences and workshops and Other major news and events. Select None in the Message Control Type field.
- Click on the Style tab. Set the width of the Message Controls to half the size of the panel.
- Place 3 Radio controls with Yes/No options to the right of the Message Controls for the 3 choices. Check the Hide Label property for each.
- Click the Style tab and enter 50% in the Item Width property
- You may have to insert a single line break HTML tag in the Message property to align the Message Control text with the Yes/No options of the Radio Control.
Here is what the form looks like in Use mode:
.
Link Control (for URLs)
...
The message informs the designer what the configured limits are so they can take corrective action.
Centering Images using the Message Control
You can add a Message control on the left side of an image uploaded to your form to center the image. Replace the default text in the message control with one or more spaces. Change its Message Type to None. This will add a blank area on the left of that image and move it into the center. Click the Style tab if you need to modify the width of the message control.
Trigger Control
The trigger control adds a button to your form and is used in conjunction with rules. If your form does not have rules you will not need the trigger control. If your form does have rules, see Triggers & DynamicOptions for details on how to use trigger controls and examples of when you might want to use them.
