frevvo 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.) Checking Options Value Only is recommended when using the ComboBox value in form routing; allowing a value that is not in the list could result in an invalid task assignment.

Drag/drop the ComboBox from the Palette or import it from ComboBoxfrom Schema schema. When you drag/drop the ComboBox from the Palette, it does not have a ControlType 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. However, 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.

Attachments are viewable in the Submissions Repository. You can configure your form's Doc Action property to send attachments to a URL endpoint (ex: servlet) that can save the attachments locally within your company.

The Changingthefilenameofanuploadedattachmentintheform/flowsubmission File Name property allows designers to specify a naming convention for the attachment in the form/workflow submission.

...

You can specify the minimum and maximum number of attachments that can be uploaded to your form using the Min # and the Max # properties. Setting the min and max values to 0 or if the maximum # field is left empty means an unlimited number of files can be uploaded. Setting the min # to a value greater than zero makes the field required. Set the min # to 1 to ensure that the user uploads at least one attachment to your form. Use the max # for the maximum attachments allowed. Clicking on Add Files will not display the upload lightbox when the maximum # of attachments have been uploaded. No further uploads will be allowed. Setting the Max # to 1 disables the Multi-FileUploadFile Upload feature. See below for more information.

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.

For Example, a date control can be dragged from the palette and dropped over the Description of Expense column. Adjust the ColumnWidths Column Widths in the table if necessary.

Adjust the column widths if possible.
