This is a way for you to add information about a form that is not seen, but is submitted with the form. Hidden fields can be used to describe any information about the form that is needed to help you identify the form. For example, you can add the type of products the form represents, the colors or other properties that are necessary for you to know about the form. You can use this to submit the name of the form.

 

You need to group the form before you can use hidden fields because the field information is stored in the Form Group object.

 

Add a Hidden Field

  • Create form fields.
  • Select the form fields and click on Forms Tab>Create Form Group>Group Form.
  • Click on the Form Group object to select it.
  • Click Forms Tab>Create Form Group>Hidden Fields. This opens the Hidden Field dialog.
  • Enter the information for the hidden field.

Choice (Name). Fill in a name that identifies this specific field.

Value. This is information that is sent in the email that defines the field. 

  • You can create as many Hidden Fields as you want.
