Using the Data Designer
Use a plain text field when you want the user to enter an
unformatted, free text response.
If a plain text field tries to perform a numerical calculation with a value that is blank
or contains letters, NaN appears in the field. (NaN stands for "not a number.") If a
plain text field tries to divide by zero, Infinity appears.
Plain Text Field vs. Rich Area Field
Enter text that appears when a user hovers the cursor
over this field (circled in red below).
If you want this field to be checked when the screen first
appears, click True.
Otherwise, click False.
Caption Enter text to guide the user’s response to this field. To
continue the above example, the caption would be
Check if you are over 65.
After you insert this field onto the screen, you can use
eWebeditPro+XML’s formatting capabilities to modify
its size, font, color, and other attributes.
Note: The Caption field only appears on this dialog
when you create the Check Box field. If you later try to
edit the field, the Caption field is not on the dialog.
However, you can edit the Caption text within the editor.
The following capabilities are available with a plain text field but not
a rich area field.
