Element Display Settings

'Display Settings' is a configuration setting that enables fields in your form to be shown, hidden, read only or system hidden. This can be applied based on user permissions i.e. submitters, editor, administrators, groups or everyone.

System Hidden is a new configuration that allows a set of hidden form fields that the user does not directly fill in but is instead selected via dependencies and other means and then used throughout the submission or workflow process

It is possible to add a number of display settings for each element by clicking on the 'Add Display Setting' button.

For example, in the screenshot above, the element will be:
• Shown to everyone in create mode
• Hidden from everyone in Edit mode
• Read-only for everyone in View mode

Note

The System (hidden but available for calculations etc) setting is a configuration that allows a set of hidden form fields that the user does not directly fill in but is instead selected via dependencies and other means and then used throughout the submission or workflow process.

Examples include:

• Setting user group fields so we know who to assign workflow steps
• Converting text based answers to numbers for calculation purposes i.e. if you select ‘50%’ in a dropdown, a number field .5 is set on the settings tab so we have the right decimal figure to allow us to do the necessary calculation
• Store attribute Matrix picker fields
