Warning

When you change a table to a repeat or vice versa and there are referencing rules, it is recommended that you verify that your rules still work. See Rules Examples for more information.

 

Name

Every control has a name. The name is automatically generated and defaults to the control's label minus any spaces and special characters. Spaces and special characters are removed in order to make the name valid for use in rules and, for XML users, this makes the name valid as a xsd schema element name. Control names will be truncated to 32  characters for all the controls except triggers and panels. 

...

The Mappable property (checkbox) is present for all mappable controls, including signed sections, tables, columns, upload controls, etc. It  is checked for all controls by default. If checked, then you will be able to map that control in the PDF mapper. Typically, a designer would need to map a subset of controls in a form to an Acroform, and using this property eliminates mapping options in the mapper for controls that will not be used. This can be very helpful, particularly for a large pdf.    

Info

The mappable property is checked by default so the designer will have to UNCHECK controls that do not need to be mapped in the pdf.

Repeat Control with Mappable Property Checked on the Phone Control that is inside of it.    

Tip
If you uncheck the mappable property for controls that have already been mapped to the acroform, the mapping status for those controls changes to invalid. Submissions created with these invalid status controls will also report "Form submission filed -  One or more generated PDF forms generated with mapping errors. Some information may be missing". Even though the Mappable property is set to false, the PDF is generated with the old mapped valu


Max Map Idx

The "Max Map Idx" property works in conjunction with the Mappable property. It is available only for tables and controls inside a repeat. Repeat items and tables are available as indexed mapping selections.in the pdf mapper. The Max Map Index property determines how many mappable indexes of the repeat item are available.  Since tables are essentially repeats, this property applies to tables as well. The image shows a Phone control inside of a Repeat control with a Max # of 2.

Another is the showhelp css class that is built into the Tight layout. For example, you can reduce white space even further with the Tight layout so that you have virtually no space between controls by selecting the hide label property on each control. This can be a way to implement a grid type layout as shown in this sample form below. 

When controls are this tight together there is no room to display the help icon for controls with help text. Notice that the first row of controls does displays the help icon. This is done by putting the string showhelp into the css class property for each control in the first row. This is a useful way to have help at the top of each column.

There are seven CSS classes that set font size. Add these into the css class property on any control or table cell. They are listed here:

If you are using Live Forms in-house, Cascading Style Sheet code that was used in themes applied to forms/flows in previous Live Forms releases, can be added to a newly created style.css file in the frevvo.war file . The context parameter, frevvo.css.url, in the web.xml file must be changed to point to it

 

Button Color

You can change the color of the trigger button by selecting a choice from the Button Color dropdown.

...

Custom groups with rules included when dropped back onto the same or another form, will contain a special "Prefix" property. The property will automatically be given a unique value if you drop the group onto the same form 2 or more times. This ensures that the group controls have unique element name. You can view the impact the prefix has on the element names by viewing the form's schema or the control's property panel. Using the prefix property, you can write a separate rule to manipulate the 2nd or greater instance of the custom control. Refer to this documentation for the details.

  • You have a form/flow with controls mapped to PDF

Scenario:

  • For the above PDF , uncheck mappable property for certain controls that have already been mapped to the PDF
  • See that the Mapping Status turns invalid
  • With this invalid status submit the form/flow with values filled
  • See that the previously mapped controls which now have mappable property set to false are seen in the PDF
  • This behavior is invalid since the Mapping Status indicates invalid, the submission status is also seen as invalid , yet the PDF is generated with old ampped values.

Max Size

The Max Size property is used to set the upper limit for each attachment uploaded using the Upload Control in your forms/flow. It is set to 10Mb in the cloud. In-house customers should refer to the Max Size property for information about configuring this property for an in-house installation.
