Defining element statuses

You can configure status properties to determine whether elements:

• must be populated by the user prior to form submission

• display as read-only

• do not display on the published form.

To define the status of an element:

1. Click

   .

2. Select an element.
   The element editing controls are displayed.
   
   

   Open

   

3. Click 

   Open

   

   . See Online form builder - Properties tab.
   The Properties tab is displayed.
   
   

4. Change the value of either:
   
   •  

   to determine whether the user must populate the selected element during form submission
   • 

   to determine whether the selected element is read-only
   • 

   to determine whether the selected element is displayed in the published form.
   
   Tip: You can use the Is Visible property to hide single elements or entire page layout elements. This allows you to design forms for multiple user audiences but publish for a single audience.
