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 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 may 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 flow for user selection? Using a traditional dropdown control is not ideal especially when you have thousands of users to pick from. Dropdown control options are confined to a predefined list and maybe limited by the default max result size of an LDAP query. The ComboBox control allows users to pick from a predefined list of values or type a value that is not in the list.
The Combobox is used internally for functions such as creating the Access Control List.
...
Users can typeahead to narrow the choices based on the letters entered. User ids and roles are case sensitive so remember to use the correct case when typing.
The combobox supports the ability to specify single or multiple values. Simply check the single value checkbox if you want to limit the choice to one value.

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.

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 a Message control and a Radio control. Follow these steps:
- Drag and drop a Panel onto the designer canvas.
- Drop Message controls into the panel for the user instruction and the labels Fellowship announcements, Conferences and workshops and Other major news and events.
- Set the width of the Message Controls to half the size of the panel.
- Places 3 Radio controls with Yes/No options to the right of the Message Controls for the 3 choices.
- Click the Style tab and enter 50% in the Item Width property
- You may have to insert a single line break HTML tag to align the Message Control label with the Yes/No options of the Radio Control.
Here is what the form looks like in Use mode:
Link Control (for URLs)
Use the Link Control when you want to include a URL in your form. When users click the link, the button text is underlined and the target URL will open in a separate browser window. The Link control has a default button color and is automatically decorated. You cannot remove the decorator or change the button color. Unlike most controls, the default width of the control, when dragged from the palette and dropped into your form is 3 columns. Click here for more information. The New Line property is checked by default.
...
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. Replace the default text in the message control with a single line break HTML tag - <br/>. 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.
Video Control
This lets you include video files in your form and works the same way as the image control. The control supports .SWF files and other video file formats that are supported by your browser. This control does not allow the designer to resize the video area. If your video is already hosted on another web service it is often best to embed your video into your form using a message control and adding the following html code to that control as shown below:

The PageBreak control cannot be dropped BELOW any control. It can be dropped BETWEEN 2 controls or ABOVE 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:
Drop the control when you see the green up arrow and the PageBreak control will drop between the two panels.
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.
