Field Types
WebWorkstationMobilePublic forms can include several field types. The exact fields depend on the form definition your organization uses.
Permission required
No ZynoSuite account is required to complete a public form. ZynoForms access is required to review submissions.
Common fields
| Field Type | What The Person Does |
|---|---|
| Text | Enters a short text response. |
| Long text | Enters a longer response in a larger text area. |
| Hidden | Captures a value from the public-form URL without showing an input. |
| Number | Enters a numeric response, optionally within limits set by the form. |
| Date | Selects a calendar date, optionally within limits set by the form. |
| Display | Reads instructions, headings, agreements, or other non-answer content. |
| Checkbox | Confirms one statement or option. |
| Radio | Chooses one option from a group. |
| Select | Chooses one option from a drop-down list. |
| Contact | Enters contact details such as name, phone, email, address, birthdate, or ZIP. |
| Section | Completes a grouped set of fields, sometimes repeatable. |
| Signature | Applies a typed or drawn signature when required. |
| Review | Reviews values already entered earlier in the form. |
| Email copy | Chooses whether to receive an emailed copy when the form supports it. |
| Marketing preference | Records a marketing opt-out or opt-in preference when the form supports it. |
Required fields
Required fields must be completed before the person can continue or submit the form. If a required field is missing, ZynoSuite scrolls to and highlights the first invalid field.
Repeatable sections
Some sections can be repeated. Use the form's add or remove controls, such as Add Another, to add another instance or remove an extra instance.
Signatures
Signature fields can require contact information before a signature can be applied. If the form asks for contact information first, complete those fields before signing.
Marketing preferences
A marketing-preference field can be worded as either an opt-out or an opt-in question. Its saved contact value always records whether the person opted out, so ZynoSuite keeps the same consent meaning across differently worded forms. A clear opt-out box records a false opt-out response; a clear opt-in box records that the person does not opt in.
