Email Fields

Email fields are a specialized field type that checks the value a user enters to ensure that it is an email address. The field looks for an @ symbol to determine if the value is an email address.

Field settings

To edit an email field

1. Select the field on the canvas and click Edit.
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 label.
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. Click the Insert Variables button to include a variable with this text.
6. In the Classic Designer, Under Field width, select whether the width the field will have on the page.
7. 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 use a variable as a the default value.
8. To configure advanced options, click the Advanced tab.
• Under Tooltip, specify the help text that will appear when users hover over the field. Click the Insert variables button to insert a variable into the text.
• Under CSS class, specify a CSS class to assign this field.
9. When you are finished editing the field settings, click Done. Your changes will be saved automatically.

Note: The labels, tooltip, text above, and text below settings support the use of simple HTML markup for formatting purposes.
