Name
The Name field is a form field to efficiently collect name-related information within your forms.
Properties
- Name Elements: The Name field typically comprises multiple elements, including Title (Mr., Mrs., Ms.), First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name.
- Designate specific name elements as mandatory by clicking the
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.
- 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.
- Limit the character input in your name elements to ensure data is concise and meets specific length requirements. 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.
- Initial Value
Auto-fill from logged-in user's profile: Enable this 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 Name 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. - Input Type:You can choose the Input Type in which the respondents can provide input in the Name field from the following options:
- Any Character
- Letters Only
- Letters and Numbers
- Letters, Numbers and Spaces
- Letters and Spaces
This provides flexibility in adapting the Name field to different naming conventions or specific data requirements. - Any Character
- 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.
- 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.
