Forms: Form parts
Key Concepts
- Form Parts are fragments which can be combined and re-used
- Form Parts are created and managed via Events HQ
- The same part can be used in different parts in different events
- Updating a form part will update all forms which use that part
- From Parts can use any available form fields
- Form Parts can only be used by System Forms (e.g. Product forms, Personal Details or Invoice Details forms)
- Form parts are used in data re-use where users can fill out the form with data previously submitted
Add form parts to forms in your event
- Select form parts to add them to forms in events
- Forms with parts in them will be cloned with the event if forms are selected for cloning
Manage Form Parts in Events HQ
- Create new parts
- Add fields to form parts to compose their structure
- Set labels, descriptions and default values
- Edit existing parts
- **Note: editing a form part used by existing forms in events will update all locations where it is used
Combining Form Parts
- Existing form parts can be selected and combined into a new form part
- **Note: the originating parts are just used as source fields and the original part definitions are not preserved in the newly created combined part
- i.e. If you change one of the originating parts it will not affect the new, combined part
Setting field properties using form parts
- Most form fields have optional properties
- These properties are set in the event not the form part so that events can add local variations to how the data is captured
