Form Builder Options - What do they mean?

To build a form in HRWize, go to:

Administration > HR > Form Builder

Here will define each of the fields and field types to help you build a form successfully:

  • Field display label - This is the text you wish to show on the screen on your form.
  • Mandatory field - If you choose Yes, the form will not be able to be submitted unless there is a value in the field.
  • Field type - There are 46 field types you can choose from. Click here for more information about Field Types.
  • Field access - This is where you have options on who can see, update a field within a form.

When you click on Show advanced options:

  • Database field name - This is the name for the field in the database. This value must be unique and can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores and may only start with a letter - spaces are not permitted. For example, employee_name is a valid name but employee name is not. If you enter an invalid value, it will show an error when you add the field. Once the field is added this value cannot be changed.
  • Clone field - If set to Yes, this field should be placed inside the "clone start and end". This specific field and other fields set with the same permissions will have the ability to be cloned.
  • Field description - This is the text you can display as a tooltip icon on the form to help people understand how to fill in the field (the question mark in the green square).
  • Uneditable once completed - If set to Yes, once this field has a value entered into and the form has been submitted, that field will not be able to be changed again.
  • Field order - You can use this option to manually sort the order of the fields. You do have the ability to drag and drop the fields in the form - doing this will update the field order as well.
  • Field weighting (%) - This is where you set a weighting value of a field. When using this, you should only use a numeric value.

Once all of your form fields have been added to the form, select Finish building form.
