This article explains how you can change the general properties of your form fields.
- Click into Edit Mode.
- Select your form field.
- Choose the Properties icon.
You'll learn how to configure the following:
Field Name
- Open the General Properties tab.
- Click next to Name.
- Type the new name into the box.
- Hit the Enter key or click outside the box to confirm your choice.
Tooltip
When a user hovers their mouse over the field, you will see your tip appear.
- Click next to Tooltip.
- Type your tip into the box.
- Press the Enter key to confirm.
You can easily verify your tooltip is configured properly:
- Click on the View tab.
- Hover your mouse over the form field.
Field Location (XY Coordinates)
Every form field on your document has a specific XY coordinate that reflects its location. These coordinates will match the unit of measurement for your page size.
You can enter any XY coordinate and move the field to an exact location.
- Open the General Properties tab.
- Click next to X Position or Y Position.
- Type the new number into the box.
- Hit the Enter key or click outside the box to confirm your choice.
Field size
The best way to make sure your fields are exactly the same size is to set the size through the properties tab. Once you've placed the first field, you can verify its size by checking the Width and Height.
You can then apply the same dimensions to any field.
- Open the General Properties tab.
- Click next to Height or Width.
- Type the new number into the box.
- Hit the Enter key or click outside the box to confirm your choice.
You’ll also be able to restrict access to your forms.
- Click on the logo to enable/disable the feature.
- Locked – This makes sure no changes can be made to the field.
- Visible – Disabling this will hide the field. It will stay in the same place and be accessible if anyone clicks on it.
