Form Element Properties options

The purpose of the Form Element Properties dialog box is to set the options for form elements on pages that let users update records in a database.

  1. Select either Manually or From Database, depending on how you plan to create the form element.
  2. Click the Plus (+) button to add an element.
  3. Enter a label and value for the element.
  4. In the Select Value Equal To box, if you want a particular element selected when the page opens in a browser or when a record displays in the form, enter a value equal to the element’s value.

    You can enter a static value or you can specify a dynamic value by clicking the lightning bolt icon, and selecting a dynamic value from the list of data sources. In either case, the value you specify should match one of the element’s values.
