Overview

Predefs (Predefined values) create groupings of data options that can be added to drop-down fields within the form. Predefs can be created in the Predefs setting page, or on the fly in the Change Predef window while editing a Form Field.

To add and edit Predefs, got to Settings > Predefs.


Table of Contents


Predef Properties

Name

The name of the predef.

The name of a predef must be unique.

Values

Labels and values must be unique.

Label

The label represents the value’s name that is displayed to users who interact with it.

When a predef is used for a drop-down field on a form, the options listed in the drop-down will be the labels.

Value

When a predef is used for a drop-down field on a form and it is mapped to output, the value is the data that is sent to the output.

Yes/No

Selecting this option will pre-populate the predef’s value with standard “yes” and “no” values.

You can use Yes/No checkbox to automatically default values and labels to use for checkboxes and yes/no drop-downs.
