Formula Builder

What is a Formula/Text Builder?

Formulas can be used in many areas for more control over the use of the form. This gives us the ability to create useful and complex forms.

Learn how to create a Function.

The Formula or Text Builder icon is found next to certain form field attribute boxes on hover.

A Text Builder allows the user to populate certain form field attributes with custom text and or the result from another form field from its {{dataName}}.

In addition, certain form field attributes also allow the use of functions to be used in a Formula Builder.

A Formula Builder is the same as a Text Builder but with the ability to include Functions and includes the extra ‘Insert a Function’ combo box.

Where can I use the formula or text builder?
