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/Time control type is meant to represent a point in time, so certain functions in the Visual Rule Builder (year, month, day, hour, minute) are not available on this control type.

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.

LDAP customers often use the ComboBox control if they 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 workflow for user selection? Using a traditional dropdown control is not ideal especially when you have thousands of users to pick from. The ComboBox control allows users to type characters in the ComboBox control that filter the choices to the entered characters and display those that match. You can also type a value that is not in the list. You may limit responses to the available options by selecting "Options Value Only" (available only for frevvoUsers and frevvoRoles.)

Drag/drop the ComboBox from the Palette or import it from schema. When you drag/drop the ComboBox from the Palette, it does not have a Control Type property. You cannot change the ComboBox to a different control by changing the value in the Control Type dropdown. You must delete the ComboBox and then add the control that you want. 

...

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.

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. 

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: 

1. Drag and drop a Panel onto the designer canvas.  
2. 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.
   
3. Click on the Style tab. Set the width of the Message Controls to half the size of the panel.
4. 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.
   
   1. Click the Style tab and enter 50% in the Item Width property
5. 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 the Forms Designer:

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. Message controls can be set to an empty string. Delete the default text in the message control. 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.

...

The Prompt and Prompt Message properties appear on the Properties panel for all levels of controls that are included in nested Repeats.

Changing a Repeat Control to a Table

...

Mobile forms work best when they are broken up into small, logical pieces. The PageBreak control lets the designer create a mobile layout consisting of multiple pages where each page contains a small number of controls (logical groupings). The user navigates between the pages via Back/Next buttons, or on a device that supports it, by swiping left/right.

Tablet and Smartphone  

...

• Money, Number and Quantity controls will display a numeric keyboard.
• An Email control will display a keyboard with an @ sign.
• A Phone control will display a phone-specific keyboard.
• Date, Time and Date-Time controls will display the appropriate pickers.
• Drop-downs will use the device specific pickers.

Panels will be ignored on a smart phone, rendering all controls one below the other. Panels on a tablet will be rendered as usual.  The +/- icons are rendered larger so that it's easier to touch them with a finger. Your mobile form takes up the entire width of the device

If your form has PageBreak controls in it, they will be visible by default when you edit your form in the form designer. You can hide them by clicking the  icon in the toolbar.
Image Modified

When you drag/drop a PageBreak control from the palette into your form, the visibility will automatically be toggled so the controls are visible. Drag and drop a Page Break control from the palette into your form to specify pages on your mobile devices. You can set a page break for Phone, Tablet or both by checking the Tablet and Phone checkboxes on the Properties panel of the control. If neither is selected, it has no effect.  When the designer clicks Finish, will generate a Smartphone layout and a Tablet layout with the page-breaks specified. If page-breaks are not specified, there will be just one page. The Employee on Boarding form shown below, when rendered on the iPad and iPhone, displays the company information, the new employee's date of birth and manager's name on the first page and the new employee's name, social security number and home phone on the next page because the first PageBreak control has both phone and tablet checked. If tablet is unchecked on the second PageBreak control, the name and address panels will display on the same page on the tablet.

The PageBreak control cannot control can be dropped BELOW between 2 controls or above any control . It can be dropped BETWEEN 2 controls or ABOVE any control(it cannot be dropped below any control.). For example, say you had a form with two panels side by side and you wanted to drop a PageBreak control in between them. Drag the PageBreak control from the palette to the left of the second panel in the form until you see the  up arrow as shown in the image below:

Image Removed

Drop the control when you see the Image Removed green up arrow and . Then drop the control and the PageBreak control will drop between the two panels.

Image Modified

Let's try another example. You are designing a form for mobile devices. You drag and drop one control on the form. Now you want to add the PageBreak control and then add other controls below it. You cannot drop the PageBreak below any control so you will have to add the other controls first and then drop the PageBreak control where you want it. Once you add more than one control to the form, you can drop controls from the palette or the form above or below the page break. You can drag and drop the PageBreak itself anywhere at the root of the form. The PageBreak control should not be dropped inside sections, panels, tables or repeat group controls. The only exception is the Tab control. See below for the details.

...

Dropping a page break control in one tab of the tab control adds the page break to all tabs. You must drag and drop the Tab control into the form first and then drop the PageBreak into one of the tabs in the tab control. If you drag and drop the PageBreak control onto the canvas first and then try to move it into a tab control, it will not work. When you drag and drop a page break control into a tab, it will always be at the top. You cannot drag it but if you drop another control from the palette or the form it will always drop below the page break control even if you drop it on the tab header. Setting/unsetting a property (e.g. uncheck Phone) in one Tab will duplicate the action in all tabs. If you try to add more than one PageBreak control to a tab, you will see the following message:

You cannot move the PageBreak out of a tab. The only way to remove it from one of the tabs is to click on the delete icon which will remove it from all the tabs.

Here is how a PageBreak control dropped into a Tab control looks in the designer.

Image Modified

Tabs containing a Page Break will be rendered as separate pages on the appropriate device e.g. if phone is checked and tablet is unchecked, the Tabs will turn into pages on the phone and stay as Tabs on the tablet.
