Filling Fields
This section describes each type of fillable field in OmniForm, how to fill
it, and how to check spelling. It contains the following topics:
• Fill Text
•Comb
• Check Box
•Circle Text
•Table
• Fill Graphic
• List Fields
• Fields Defined by a Calculation
• Field Validation
These instructions assume that the cursor is already in a field.
The way information is displayed in a field depends on the current form
language selection and object definition. See “International Settings” on
page 79 and “Defining Objects” on page 137 for detailed information.
Fill Text
Enter characters in a fill text field: letters, numbers, symbols, dates, and
so forth. Fill text fields can contain any sort of textual information. The
example below shows
First Name
and
Last Name
fill text fields.
Comb
Enter characters in a comb field: letters, numbers, or symbols
appropriate to the field. Phone numbers and zip codes are commonly
used comb fields. A comb field consists of individual comb
elements.
Each element can contain a different number of characters.
You do not have to tab from element to element in a comb field. Just type
the required amount of information and OmniForm automatically
moves the cursor to the next element as appropriate.
