Adding Field Names

 

If you need Auto-Form to fill a field that is not listed in the form manager then you can define your own Custom Field. Custom fields are defined by you in the Customize tab of the form manager (the rightmost tab).

 

To add a field name:

 

  1. To open the form manager click Tools > Auto Form  > Manage Details.

  2. Click the New button at the bottom of the screen. The cursor will move to the description box in the “field properties” box to the right

  3.  When field description has been completed, you can add another field or click OK to close the form manager

 

Note:

 

For each custom field you define field properties. The properties consist of: 

 

Example

 

Some forms may ask for your “full name” in one field, rather than “first name” and “last name” in separate fields.  To add the “Full Name” field, click New and enter the following in the properties box:

·         Description: Full Name

·         Name: fname (in this case, fname is the field name in the HTML form we want Auto-Form to fill)

·         Value: Joe Bloggs

 

Click OK, and use Auto-Form to fill the “Full Name” field next time.
