A Text Field is the perfect way to receive a well-thought-out or detailed response from your patients! Whether you are asking a general question or just want them to input their name, the options are endless.

Let's go over the Text Field Settings:

Text Field Settings

  1. How to name your Text Field:

  • Field - To create a new Field, select -new field- in the dropdown.

  • Label - is what is displayed on the form for the patients.

  • Name - is an internal value used to identify the field for use on things like replacement strings.

2. Select Input Type:

  • Plain Text: A simple text bar (e.g. name, address, etc.)

  • Email: Ensures that a valid email address is entered.

  • Password: Hides what is being typed.

  • Phone: Ensures that a valid phone number is entered.

  • Text Area: A larger text field (e.g. “please explain in detail…”)

3. Required: Make the Text Field mandatory

4. Text Field Placement:

  • Label Position: Here you can select for your label to appear on the Top of the Text Field or to the Left of the text.

  • Alignment: Here you can adjust the alignment of the Text Field content within the designated space, (e.g. left, right or center)

  • Field Width: Here you can adjust the length of your Text Field bar, (e.g. with the Full option, the Text Field content will run the full length of the form, and with the Half option, the Text Field Content will run to half of the page, leaving room for another form field.)

5. When you’ve finished configuring the Text Field settings, click the OK button

6. The Text Field content will appear in the Step Designer. Drag the Text Field to where you want it using the drag-able icon on the top left of the bar.
