Common Settings

Settings that are common in almost all FormSnap stacks. Some stacks may or may not have all of the settings below.

Name
This item's name. The item name is used INTERNALLY on the form and templates and should be be alphanumeric ONLY (letters, numbers and underscores allowed). The name must be unique to the form. Duplicate names in the same form will produce adverse effects.
Display Label
When enabled, the label will be displayed with the input item.
Label
The label the user will see on the published form adjacent to the input.
Label Icon
Prepend a Font Awesome (4.7) icon to your label text. Available icons can be found on the Font Awesome web site.
```
EXAMPLE: fa fa-user
```
Placeholder
Text displayed in the popup menu UNTIL the visitor invokes the popup menu to select a country.
Subtext

Tooltip
Include an animated tooltip to your input item
Tip Placement
Designate where the tooltip should originate from. Tooltips can be placed in four different ways in relation to the reference element.

Calculate

A calculation form input that automatically calculates a value based on multiple form inputs is a dynamic web form where user inputs in several fields trigger real-time calculations to display a result. This is often used for financial calculators, measurements, and other scenarios requiring instant feedback based on user input.

Formula
Math based formula using the values from other items to calculate the value. Using the form item placeholders, build a math formula that will get calculated dynamically. Math formulas can get pretty complex, so practice using simple ones until you get proficient.
```
EXAMPLE:  ({{item1}} + {{item2}}
```
Prefix
String that will proceed the resulting value.
Suffix
String that will proceed the resulting value.
Round
Rounds the resulting value.
- None - Do nothing
- Round - Rounds to the nearest integer.
- Ceil - Rounds up to the next largest integer.
- Floor - Rounds down to the next smallest integer.
Notation
Formats the resulting number using fixed-point notation. It converts a number to a string, keeping a specified number of decimals.
```
EXAMPLE: Fixed(2) will turn 123.456 into 123.46
```
Hidden Input
Enabling this will make the Calculate input hidden, invisible to end-user.

Choice Cards

Choice cards are similar to your basic Checkbox or Radio input items, except that they look so much nicer. Each "choice" can have a title, image, subtitle, description and value.

Choice Limit
Set the maximum number of choices that can be selected. In most cases this will be only 1, but sometimes you may need more.

Each Choice Card Settings

Image
Add an image associate with the choice.
Title
Main title of the choice.
Subtitle
Secondary subtitle of the choice.
Description
A more detailed description of the choice.
Value
This is what will be sent to server for processing. All the other attributes above are for display only and are not sent with form submission.

Dropzone

A drag-and-drop dropzone style file input is a user interface element that allows users to upload files by either dragging and dropping them into a designated area (drop zone) or by clicking on the area to open a file selection dialog.

Drag Text
Text displayed inside the dropzone area prior to files being added.
Multiple Files
Enabling will allow end-user to drag and drop multiple files into the droppzone.

Number Stepper

A simple number input with easy to click(touch) increment and decrement buttons. Great addition for mobile forms.

Rules (Conditionals)

A component that conditionally hides and shows other inputs based on the values of other form inputs. It dynamically adjusts the visibility of certain inputs depending on user selections or entries. This functionality is useful for creating a more user-friendly form, ensuring that users only see relevant inputs.

Action

Match
How many conditions must be met before rule is triggered. Any or All.

- Equals
- Does Not Equal
- Starts With
- Ends With
- Includes
- Does not include
Value
The value of Target Item that would satisfy this condition.

Toggle

A toggle style input, similar to what iOS uses, is a user interface component that allows users to switch between two states, such as on and off, active and inactive, or enabled and disabled. These toggles are often referred to as switch inputs or toggle switches.

ON Value
Value sent with form if marked ON or TRUE
```
EXAMPLE: Yes, I agree
```
OFF Value
Value sent with form if marked OFF or FALSE
```
EXAMPLE: No, I do not agree
