  • Form field - The value is to be entered by the person completing the form.
  • Fixed value - Used to assign the same value to all. This field will not be shown on the form, but the fixed value will be registered in the contact's profile. If you choose this option, you will need to specify the value to be assigned in the Fixed value field.
  • Dynamic value - 
TypeAvailable only when the field value comes from the form.
Field used to define the type of value can be inserted in the field. Any data entered in the field that does not correspond to the indicated type will trigger an error. The available field types are:
  • Textbox - Field that shows a free text area to enter the value.
  • Dropdown list - Field that presents a choice of values in a drop-down list. The choice values and labels are shown in the Choices section.
  • Radio button - Field that offers a choice of responses in the format of radio buttons. The response values and fields are defined in the Choices section.

  • Required - Check box used to indicate if it is mandatory to enter a value in this field. When a field is required, it shows an asterisk.
    When a field is required, a rule prevents the contact from being added if no valid value is provided. However, if a default value was defined for the required field, the contact will be added, with the default value. Therefore, make sure to define a default value for your required fields if you want the participant to be added as a contact.
  • Multiline - Option to show a text box field on multiple lines. The number of characters that can be entered depends on the maximum length specified.
