More Tools for the Form Author
The Field/List/Condition Screen
The Field/List/Condition screen (click
to make life easier for form authors.
Field,
List, or
Condition to open it) contains a few more features
Blank Lines
When inserting many types of Fields, a Blank line checkbox appears
in the Format screen to determine how Fields are handled during the
Fill step when answers are left empty in the Questionnaire.
If Blank line is checked for a particular Field and its answer is left
empty, the Field appears as a blank line in the finished document.
If Blank line is unchecked for a particular Field and its answer is left
empty, the Field is removed from the finished document with no
placeholder left behind.
Including blank lines is usually preferable, because they provide a visual cue when information is missing.
But you may want to exclude blank lines for Fields in table cells, for instance, because the blank line looks
confusing (and unattractive) next to the table grid lines.
Field/List/Condition Count
Click the # button to count how many times each answer
is used in the form, whether as a Field, List, or Condition.
After clicking the # button, the column of numbers
appears.
In this example, the answer to the Seller question is used
6 times in the form.
Move to Field/List/Condition in Form
After clicking the # button to count Fields, two
buttons appear.
arrow
Click the
arrows to move the cursor to the previous
or next place in the form where the selected answer is
used. This is handy when you want to review all places
in the form that are affected by a particular answer
(similar to Peeking, described on page 41).
