Text

Provide instructions: Text can be used to provide instructions on how to fill out the form or what information is required.

Provide context: Text can be used to provide context for the form, such as explaining the purpose of the form or the organization collecting the information.

Divide the form into logical sections: Text can be used to divide a form into logical sections, making it easier for users to understand and complete the form.

Branding and identity: Text can be used for branding and identity purposes, such as including the organization’s name in the form.

Name - You can identify a form component easily with its unique name both in the form and in the rule editor, but the name must not contain spaces or special characters.

Bind Reference - A bind reference is a reference to a data element that is stored in an external data source and used in a form. The bind reference allows you to dynamically bind data to form fields, so that the form can display the most up-to-date data from the data source. For example, a bind reference can be used to display a customer’s name and address in a form, based on the customer’s ID entered into the form. The bind reference can also be used to update the data source with data entered into the form. In this way, AEM Forms enables you to create forms that interact with external data sources, providing a seamless user experience for collecting and managing data.

Mark as Unbound Form Element: Select the option to configure a form field not linked to any schema. This option allows you to save data without updating the data source. It also enables you to handle data in a custom way, separate from standard database integration.

Hide Component - Select the option to hide the component from the form. The component remains accessible for other purposes, such as using it for calculations in the Rule Editor. This is useful when you need to store information that doesn’t need to be seen or directly changed by the user.

Read-only - Select the option to make the component non-editable. The user can see the value of the field but cannot modify it. The component remains accessible for other purposes, such as using it for calculations in the Rule Editor.

Default CSS Classes: You can provide a default CSS class for the Adaptive Forms Text Core Component.

Allowed Styles: You can define styles by providing a name and the CSS class that represents the style. For example, you can create a style named “bold text” and provide the CSS class “font-weight: bold”. You can use or apply these styles to an Adaptive Form in Adaptive Forms editor. To apply a style, in Adaptive Forms editor, select the component you want to apply the style to, navigate to the properties dialog, and select the desired style from the Styles drop-down list. If you need to update or modify the styles, simply return to the Design Dialog, update the styles in the styles tab, and save the changes.

Group Name: You can provide a name to identify the custom property group. You can add, delete, or rearrange multiple custom property groups. After adding the custom property group, you can see the following options:

• Key-Value Pairs: You can add multiple custom property names and custom property values by clicking the Add button for each custom property group.

• Delete: Tap or click to delete the custom property name and custom property value.

• Rearrange: Tap or click and drag to rearrange the order of the custom property name and custom property value.
