Currency Fields

Currency fields are a specialized field type that accepts numbers and shows the appropriate currency symbol.

Field settings

To edit a currency field

1. Select the field on the canvas and click Edit in Classic Form Designer, select the field and the options will appear in the right pane in Form Designer.
2. Under Field label, enter the field label that will appear next to the field on the form. Click the Insert variables button to insert a variable into the text.
3. Under Variable, specify a name for the field variable associated with this field. If you do not specify a variable name, Laserfiche will automatically assign a variable name based on the field label.
4. Under Field options, select Required if users must fill in this field before submitting the form. Select Read-only if users should not be allowed to modify this field.

Note: If a required field is hidden with a field rule, it is no longer required. A required field is only required when it appears on the form.

5. Under Text above field and Text below field, you can enter any additional text that should appear with the field.
6. Under Field width, specify how wide the field will appear on the page.
7. Under Currency display for Classic Form Designer or the Advanced tab for Form Designer, select the checkbox to include a comma between every three digits in the field. For example, the value "1000" will be displayed as "1,000".
8. Under Default value, enter the value that will appear in the field by default. If this option is blank, the field will appear empty by default. Click the Insert variables button to insert a variable as the default value.
9. Under Currency format for Classic Form Designer or the Advanced tab for Form Designer, specify the type of currency being captured. This setting will determine the currency symbol that is displayed with the field.
10. To configure advanced options, click the Advanced tab.
• Under Calculation, specify a formula that will populate the contents of this field. Learn more.

• In Form Designer, click Range Limiting and enter a minimum and maximum number value to constrain the range of the input.

11. When you are finished editing the field settings, click Done. Your changes will be saved automatically.
