Input Controls Input Controls

Input controls allow users to enter data (text, dates, numbers, etc.) into your form and automatically prevent them from entering the wrong data types. For example, if users enter letters into a number control, your form will display an error message and the Submit button will not be enabled until valid data is supplied. This validation happens automatically; you do not have to do anything special. The purpose of each input control is described below.

...

Allows users to enter U.S. currency. Users may type commas and a decimal point , but if they don’t, the form will display these symbols for them. For example if a user types 4000, the form will redisplay the value as 4,000.00will not add them to the data automatically. The form also will round all entries to two decimal places. (Note that if a user types more than two digits after the decimal place the XML submissions document will store as many digits as the user entered but will not include the dollar symbol, decimal point or commas.)For example, if the user enters 4000, it will display as 4000.00 when the user exits the field.

Phone

Used for entering a phone number and allows any of the following formats: xxx.xxx.xxxx, xxx-xxx-xxxx, xxx.xxxx, or xxx-xxxx.  If you want to enforce one of the 10-digit formats (to require an area code), you can edit the control’s Pattern.

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.

In-house, a download customer can control ' internal upper limit via the frevvo.attachment.maxsize parameter in the web.xml or frevvo.xml files. Initially, this value is set to 10485760 bytes. You can also set the max attachment size per user by editing the user's profile as the admin user and editing the Configuration field shown below:

...

Now that you can take pictures using your mobile device camera and/or upload images to your , the default value of max_allowed_packet may not be large enough if you are using MySql. Refer to this website for detailed information about the MySql configuration parameter. Increasing the max_allowed_packet variable setting in your MySQL Server from the default (1M) to something like 16M (16777125) fixes the issue. To fix the issue temporarily, run the following commands:

• mysql -u root
• set global max_allowed_packet=16777216

To permanently set it, choose one of the two methods listed below:

• You can add the parameter  - max_allowed_packet=16M to the mysqld command line or (mysqld_safe command line) as shown: 

 mysqld --max_allowed_packet=16M 

• Edit the MySql configuration file (my.ini on Windows/ my.cnf on Mac OS) and add max_allowed_packet=16777216 to the [mysqld] section. 

[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet = 16M

• Restart MySQL.
• Restart frevvo. 
• The setting will permanently take effect.

On Mac OS, you can access the my.cnf file by typing

• • sudo vi /etc/my.cnf
