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.
   
3. Click . 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.
