The Form Templates are at the heart of EdSmart. You can have as many templates as you like, and completely customise the fields on the Form to your requirements. This article describes the many field variations and options available to you.
...
- Human Body - a human body outline, front and back views.
- Long Description - a mini word processor where you can style the font, size and colour of the text, or just paste it in from another document.
- Text Field - a single line text field.
- CheckBox List - a group of one or more checkboxes, where the user can select one or more of the options. You can have as many options as you wish.
- Option List - a drop down list of one or more options, where the user can select one option. Like the checkboxes, you can have as many options as you like.
- Read Only Text Block - a large formatted text field that will display as read-only text to users, great for explanatory text, notes, instructions and other information.
- Date Field - select a date from a calendar (day, month and year).
- Venue Address - these work just like a normal Text Field but, if you enter a valid address, a Google Map will be created and displayed in the Form.
- File Upload (Parent/Student Slips Only) - this field allows Parents/Students to upload attachments to Slips before submitting the Form. Read more here.
There are different fields, and different numbers of each field, available depending on whether you are in the School section or the Parent/Student section of your Form design. All of the field types, except for the Human Body, allow for additional customisation. For example, when you edit a Venue Address or Text Field you will find a number of options:
...
- Long Description (x8)
- Text Field (x47)
- CheckBox List (x16)
- Option List (x66)
- Read Only Text Block (x15)
- Date Field (x10)
- File Upload (x1)
Parent/Student fields are very similar to School fields, but you have an additional option for Default.
