Mobile Form Section Elements

Updated over 2 months ago

Section elements are designed to reduce repetition when setting up a form. So, for example, instead of having 30 nearly identical sections, you can set up one section with 30 elements. When using elements, you can change the section heading, field IDs and checklists used.

Section elements are available if the DB Table on the section is set to sy_mobfel.

The fields for the section are repeated for each element. The field ID value can mask with the section fields to give different field IDs for each element.

Section Elements

Seq.

Sequence numbers are shown for sections elements and these values can be used to access values for producing reports.

Description

Description of this element. This might be used as the text of a question or as a label where you are repeating form sections.

Field ID

A field ID set can be used for multiple purposes.

It is optionally used in section elements and main purpose to allow to build complex forms to produce intelligent reports and calculations.

Checklist

A checklist to associate with the element.

When using section elements, if you wish to have different checklists, enter {n} in the field checklist, and a comma-separated list of checklists on the elements. {1} will be replaced with the first entry from the list, {2} the second entry, etcetera.

If you are using checklists and want to have different checklists for the same field on different elements:

  1. Enter a list of checklists in the Checklist field on the element.

  2. Enter a number in curly brackets ({1} or {2}, for example) in the Checklist field on the Fields tab to specify which entry in the list of elements applies to that field.
