Control details

Introduction

The various label controls share a common set of settings. Once a few key settings are understood, the entire system becomes more intuitive. Some settings are particularly important to know.

Naming Form Fields

When completing the Name field for a form control, several points should be kept in mind:

• These are system names visible to Visual Dispatch, not to the operator completing the form.
• Names cannot contain spaces. The Name field is a backend identifier that must be unique and is used whenever one field references another (for example, when checking a checkbox triggers the display of another text box).
• When assigning triggers, these names make it easy to identify which control or field is being shown or hidden. A common best practice is to use a prefix indicating the type of control. For example:

Labels

There are two types of labels in Forms:

• Standalone Labels: Serve as titles for a section or area of the form. These are added using the Label control.
• Associated Labels: Linked to a specific control. These are enabled by selecting the Add Label option in most controls, which creates a text box for entering the label.
