A control template is a control that was published by the form designer so that it can be reused in other forms and by other designers within the same tenant. You typically want to publish control templates when you create complex control with sophisticated layouts, field patterns, business rules, etc., and want to reuse that work in another form or share it with another form designer. You also may consider using control templates when you need to split the work among a number of form designers, where each designer is responsible for creating a subsection of a complex form and another designer is responsible for assembling these control templates into a final form or flow.

Click Submit and you will see a confirmation page that once closed will refresh the page. If you used the drag & drop approach above, you should see the published control automatically added to your Custom pane.

Note

The image, video, trigger, table, upload , and pagebreak controls are not allowed in a custom control. You will see this message if you try to publish a section that contains any of these controls: "Sorry - the custom control contains a control that is not allowed in the custom palette."

Publishing Controls with Rules

...

The assigned prefixes will show in the Form Outline. This is helpful when writing the rules for the second and third instances.


The rule shown populates the control named a in the second copy of the custom control with the word "sour" and the third copy with the text "sweet and sour" respectively whem the form loads. Notice the a controls in the second and third copies are referenced with the prefix in the rule.

Code Block
if(form.load)
{
a.value='sweet';
}
if (C196a.value.length > 0) {
C196a.value = 'sour';
}
if (C198a.value.length > 0) {
C198a.value ='sweet and sour';
}
