Description

The developer determines the contents of a Data Table. They can configure the data table contents according to their needs as long as text values are used. The values can be entered during execution either by the user, or via a mapping from the process data.

(25.2) Text Area

Use a Text Area if you want to enable the input of longer texts, for example desciptions or notes. The Text Area is an input field for character strings of all kinds including line breaks. Input is always saved as character string, even if numbers are listed.

(25.2) Checkbox

Field used to activate or deactivate one single option.

(25.2) File Upload

Form field where images and other documents can be uploaded. If the user clicks the upload button, he/she can select files to upload from a file browser. Alternatively, the desired files can be added with drag&drop into the marked frame.

The upload takes place as soon as a file is added to the element. Uploads are stored to the file storage of the PAS installation, to a path related to the sandbox of the current user (sandbox_<user name>/<identifier>, e.g. sandbox_david.stringer/1e10d48a-db07-4589-9e5f-8bb6448ef657). The uploaded files can be referenced in forms.

(25.2) Select Field

The developer determines the contents of a Select Field. The user can later choose one of the options in the list.

(25.2) Grouping

Use the grouping element to arrange other form elements that belong together. You can use the grouping element to break up the grid of the form editor for example to arrange several form elements next to a single field in one line. It can also be used to move and reuse whole sections.

If you delete a grouping element, all content of the element is deleted as well.

(25.2) Text Box

Input field for character strings (text) of all kinds without line breaks. Input is always saved as character string, even if numbers are listed.

(25.2) Subform
