Adding fields (or groups) to a field pack

When adding a Field to a field pack, you will need to enter some or all of the following properties.

Note: If you are adding a Group to a field pack (as opposed to a Field) from this screen, only the Name and Type (Group) are required.

See below for additional information about each option.

Name (Required)
The namefor the field or group. (If you are creating a group, this is all you need to enter.)
Type (Required)
Select Field to add a field. If you are adding a group, select Group.
Data Type (Required)
Select one of the following data types from the drop down:
- Text (string)
- Long Text
- Whole Number (integer)
- Decimal (double)
- True/False
- Hyperlink
- Date
- Date and Time
- Email
Default Value: Refresh Default Value (Optional)
Select this checkbox so that a field containing a formula or expression will be refreshed any time a field within the formula or expression is changed.
Validation Pattern (regular expression) (Optional)
(Optional) Enter a regular expression to validate the field input before it is submitted. For example: ^\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}$ can be used to validate a Social Security number. This will restrict form submission if the regular expression (pattern) is not verified.
Data Range (Optional)
This is used if the Form element is a Drop Down or Combo Box, and it enables you to define available options (which can be Static) from a Data Connection or Repeating Content.
Repeating (Optional)
Check this box to designate a RepeatingField (currently only used with the Repeating Content folders). Repeating fields are used to store repeating content such as a Table or Repeating Group of Elements.
Required (Optional)
Check this box to require a value for the field before the form will be allowed to be submitted.
