Input fields are elements that enable users to input information into a record. In order to store data entered by the user. Every input field is linked to a data column.
Nimblex offers the following types of input fields:
Textbox
A Textbox allows you to enter text.
Checkbox
You can use a Checkbox to indicate 'yes' or 'no' to a stated sentence.
Colour Picker
Clicking on the Colour Picker lets you pick a colour or enter the hex code of the colour in a pop-up. Clicking on Ok within the pop-up hides the pop-up and displays the selected colour in the control.
Date Picker
Date Picker allows you to choose a date. Click on the Date Picker and a calendar will appear. You can then click through the months and years to find the date you are looking for. Click a day to input that date. It can be set up to be able to select time elements along with the date.
Dropdown
Dropdown is used to select from a pre-existing set of data. Some dropdown menus will only load their data when they are selected. These controls may take a few seconds to display and may show a large amount of data. You can type directly into these menus to filter results based on what you have entered.
Dropdown (On Demand)
'Dropdown on Demand' is a variation of the Dropdown field. This dropdown list of options dynamically loads on demand which means that it loads only a number of options at a time but the user can scroll or navigate to the next screen to search for the desired option.
It can be set up to accept custom text when the user does not find the desired option in the set list.
Editable Web Link
An Editable Web Link allows users to enter a URL by clicking on the pen icon at the right end of the textbox. You can click on the link to navigate to the URL entered.
Spreadsheet Import Button
This button lets the user enter data from a spreadsheet. It is usually set up with a Download Template button so the system knows how to process and store the data from the spreadsheet.
Multiple Select Dropdown
This control allows the user to select multiple values from a list of predefined options.
Option Buttons
Use Option buttons to select one option from a number of different choices.
Rich Textbox
A Rich Textbox control is an advanced Textbox that provides text editing and advanced formatting features. It is used when it is necessary for the user to edit and format text, and add images and tables.
Simple Logger
Simple Logger consists of two elements:
- Textbox and Add button: These let the user input text by typing in the Textbox and clicking on the Add button.
- Display Box: This appears on top and displays a time stamp of the text input added by users. This is usually NOT editable.
Tabstrip
A Tabstrip lets users select one option from a pre-defined set of options similar to how Option buttons work.
