Email Field

The Email field in a form collects email addresses while providing various properties to ensure accuracy, validation, and user confirmation.

Properties

  1. Placeholder Text: Provide a placeholder text to enhance user guidance and set expectations for respondents. Placeholder text serves as a temporary example or hint within the form fields.
  2. Initial Value: Provide the initial value to be displayed when the form loads. This allows you to prefill the field with default content, streamlining the data entry process for respondents.
    Auto-fill from logged-in user's profile: Enable this option to automatically retrieve, and populate the logged-in users name from their profile in to the form. When a form is shared with your organization users, the email field can be automatically populated with the signed-in user's profile details. This option is not available for public forms, as respondents are not required to log in.
  3. Character Limit: The field can be configured with a specified character limit, ensuring that responses remain within a defined range. You can enable Restrict input on reaching the character limit, to make sure that the respondents cannot type beyond the configured character limit. An error message will be displayed as soon as the limit is reached.
  4. Domain Validation: You can allow or restrict specific domains, providing flexibility in tailoring the form to your organization's needs. For example, in scenarios where you want to ensure that respondents use official or specific email domains associated with your organization in a privately shared form, you can use the domain validation option.
  5. OTP Verification: This allows you to send a verification code (OTP) to your respondents email address to confirm its validity, adding a layer of security and preventing invalid form responses. Learn more.


Allow only some domains in email address

  1. Input Text Case: You have the flexibility to control the visual presentation of the entered text, aligning it with the intended formatting standards for your form.
    System Default (-) : Retains the original text case in which the respondent enters.
    Uppercase (AA) : Forces all text entered into the field to be displayed in uppercase letters.
    Lowercase (aa) : Converts all entered text into lowercase letters for consistent formatting.

Validation

  1. Mandatory: Ensure that respondents cannot submit the form without entering the data in this field.
  2. No Duplicates: Prevent the submission of identical entries.
  3. Include email input confirmation: Selecting this option prompts the respondents to re-enter the email address for confirmation, ensuring that both inputs match, thus preventing typos.
