You can learn how to create a new Form Field from this article.
The Email field is designed to store a single email address while ensuring data accuracy through built-in validations. It verifies that the input follows a proper email format, such as email@domain.com.
Key Features:
- Automatic Validation: The system checks if the entered value matches the standard email structure.
- Error Highlighting: If an invalid email is detected, the field is highlighted in red.
- Error Message: Users will see the alert: "This is not a valid email."
Navigating to Form Fields
Go to Settings > Apps, select the app you'd like to add the field to and select the 'Form Fields' tab.
Configuring a Email Field
To set up a Email field in your app, follow these steps:
- Add a New Field: Click the Add Field button to open the Field Type selection window.
- Select Choice Type: From the list of available field types, choose the Email option.
- Configure the Field: After selecting the Email, proceed with the configuration settings as needed.
Give your field a name and add a field hint if desired. You can then select the section in which the field will be created or keep the default option.
- Default Value: You can assign a default value for all new records. Team members can override this value if necessary.
- Calculated Email Fields: Enable the 'Calculated' checkbox to allow the system to generate email values dynamically. Simply input your custom code in the provided space.
- Required Field: If the email field is mandatory, check the 'Required' option. This ensures that every new record includes an email before it can be saved.
- Lock After Creation: Selecting 'Lock After Create' makes the field uneditable once the record is saved, preventing further modifications.
- Unique Email Validation: To avoid duplicate entries, enable the 'Unique' option. This ensures that the system does not allow the same email to be added more than once, helping maintain data accuracy.
Once all settings are configured, click Save to finalize the field setup.
Note: All new fields are added at the bottom of the form.
