[4.52] Form fields adaptations and configurations

Content

Form fields can be configured and intuitively customised for your purposes. This article describes the options available to you for customising form fields in MOXIS.

1. Moving form fields

To move a form field, click on the = sign (see figure 1 [1]). You can now move the form field using drag-and-drop. The + sign (see figure 2 [1]) opens up further editing options, which will be explained in the next chapter.

2. Lock, edit, rotate and delete form fields

To edit form fields, further options are available in MOXIS. To use these options, simply swipe the + sign. The plus sign then changes into an X (see figure 2 [1]) and further options for editing appear (see description below).

These are the options for customising form fields:

(2) Lock: If this option is activated (which means that the padlock is closed), the form field can no longer be edited by anyone. Clicking on the padlock again will let the form field appear ‘open’. Now, everybody can edit it again (see figure 2 [2]).

(3) Edit: Clicking on this button opens up various options for editing the form field (see figure 2 [3]).

(4) Rotate: Use this button to adjust the form field to the layout of your uploaded document (e.g. if you want to sign in landscape or portrait format). Clicking on the button causes the field to rotate by 90 degrees (see figure 2 [4]).

(5) Delete: Remove the form field here (see figure 2 [5]).

3.1 Instructions: Configuring form fields

Use the gear icon (see figure 2 [3]) to edit form fields in detail. We will show you how to edit a currency form field here as an example. The configuration of all other fields differs mainly in the field-specific parameters that can be configured.

Open the editor of the currency form field by clicking on the gear icon. You can now configure the field in the interface that opens (see figure 3 [1-6]).

The following options are available for configuring the form field

(1) Name: Enter a designation for the currency field (e.g. US Dollar for foreign order; see figure 3 [1]).

(2) Currency: The Currency drop-down menu allows you to select a specific currency. To do this, click on the arrow next to the euro symbol. You can currently choose between euros, dollars, Swiss francs or pounds (as of 06/24; see figure 3 [2])

(3) Decimal places: Specify here how many digits should be displayed after the decimal point by entering the appropriate number (see figure 3 [3]).

(4) Formatting: Specify here the format in which the currency's hundredths should be displayed. You can choose between a period, comma, apostrophe or no separators (see figure 3 [4]).

(5) Currency prefix: Use this controller to determine whether the currency symbol is placed before or after the number (see figure 3 [5]).

(6) Font: You can change the font size by clicking on the drop-down arrow next to the number (in our example, you can see the default font size of 12; see figure 3 [6]).

XiTip 
Please note: If you change the font size, you may also need to adjust the size of the form field (see next chapter)

3.2 Resizing form fields in MOXIS

Changing the size of a form field is extremely easy and intuitive. Simply click in the form field. An edge icon appears in the lower right corner of the field. When you move the mouse over it, the mouse pointer turns into an arrow (see figure 4 [1]). Once that has happened, click on the edge symbol with the left mouse button and drag the field to make it larger or smaller as you wish. In our example, the field has been enlarged (see figure 4 [2]).
