Read only

Read Onlys displays one Attribute but do not provide any way to modify it.

Control properties

• Id / Name - Identifier of the Form Control. Id / Name needs to be unique for all Form Controls on the same Form. Id / Name also binds the Form Control to an Attribute with the same name of the Variable backing the From. This means that the Form Control will load and show the value from said Attribute when the Form is entered, and that the value of the Form Control is stored in the Attribute when the Form is left by a Save or Sign and Save action. The Form Control can also be bound to an Attribute of a Variable other than the one backing the From by using the fully qualified name as Id / Name:

  • VariableName.AttributeName - Binds the Form Control to an Attribute of a Entity or Variable
  • ContextVariableName.ContextVariableName - Binds the Form Control to a Context Variable that holds only one value without any Attributes

  A detailed explanation of the different linking mechanisms between a Form Control and an Attribute is given in the Variable and Variable Type configuration of the From Activity.

• Label text - Caption rendered above the Form Control thus identifying it to the Users.

• Help text - Explanation of the Form Control shown below the Form Control.

• Display as link - Sets if the text shown by this Form Control should be rendered as a link (Yes) or not (No). If it should be rendered as a link, then the opening property has to be set:

  • Open link in - Specifies if the link is opened in the same (Current window), or in a new window or tab (New window).

• Condition type - Allows you to hide the Form Control based on a Form Control Expression evaluating to true or false:

  • Display condition - Hides the Form Control when the Form Control Expression evaluates to false and shows it when the Form Control Expression evaluates to true.

• List of values? - Form Control represents an array (Yes) or a single value (No).
