Name Field Elements

The Name field is a form field to efficiently collect name-related information within your forms.

Properties

  1. Name Elements: The Name field typically comprises multiple elements, including Title (Mr., Mrs., Ms.), First NameMiddle Name, and Last Name.
  2. Designate specific name elements as mandatory by clicking the icon icon corresponding to an element. This ensures that respondents provide essential components, such as the first and last names, enhancing the completeness of the collected data.
  3. Hide the labels associated with name elements, offering a clean and streamlined appearance to the form. This can be particularly useful when space is a consideration, or when you prefer a more minimalist design.
  4. Limit the character input in your address elements to ensure data is concise and meets specific length requirements.
  5. NotesNote:  The character limit is only applicable to text input elements. It will not apply to dropdown elements like Country, or to the State/Region/Province field if the Auto-generated State List is enabled.
  6. Input Type
    You can choose the Input Type in which the respondents can provide input in the Name field from the following options:
    1. Any Character
    2. Letters Only
    3. Letters and Numbers
    4. Letters, Numbers and Spaces
    5. Letters and Spaces
     This provides flexibility in adapting the Name field to different naming conventions or specific data requirements.
  7. Placeholder Text: Provide a placeholder text for each name element in a form to enhance user guidance and set expectations for respondents. Placeholder text serves as a temporary example or hint within the form fields.
  8. 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.
