Creating an attribute

You can create custom attributes from the Add an Element tab of the Form Editor.

Before you begin

Before you can create any custom attributes for the form, the database schema for the lookup tables must be created. You must do this outside of Collaborate with your database management software.

Procedure

  1. Open the Form Editor for the form to which you want to add a custom attribute.
  2. With the Add an Element tab open, click Add custom attributes.
  3. Enter information in the Basic Options section as needed.

    Fields that are marked with two red asterisks (**) are required.

    Additional Basic Options fields may be added, and the Display Options may change based on the Attribute Type you select.

  4. Set the Display Options as needed.
  5. Click Save and Exit to save the attribute and return to the Form Editor.

Results

The custom attribute is now available for use in this form.

Note: Custom attributes that you create are only available in the form you are editing.
