User Input Field Defaults
The User Input Field Defaults option is introduced to streamline the web form configuration during the PrintShop Mail Pub-
lishing process. The designer of a PrintShop Mail document can use the Printshop Mail Web interface to change the pre-
sentation and behavior of user input fields. The designer can set various aspects like the input type (plain text, image upload,
checkbox, etc.) and make a field required. Setting up these fields can be a time consuming task, especially when publishing
documents share common elements.
A good example is a business card, because business cards typically include fields for the first name, last name, job title and e-
mail address. The first and last name fields are typically required fields and you might want to use a regular expression field to
validate the entry for the e-mail address. Besides this you might want to link these fields to the account information of the vis-
itor.
In order to prevent the designer to configure these fields for each business card template the administrator can create default
settings for user input fields. These settings are applied to the user input fields when publishing a PrintShop Mail document to
PrintShop Mail Web. In this process the system tries to find a mapping between the data field name in the template document
and the user input field defaults item.
To invoke this process the designer needs to specifify the name of the "default item" in the Remarks property in PrintShop
Mail. The name of the "Default item" should be surrounded by square brackets.
If a match is found all web form parameters are retrieved from the default item and stored with the input field.
