Text element
Compose Enterprise is going through a design update. The illustrations on this page might be of the old design, but the information is up to date. Thank you for your patience during this update!
Create or open a previously created form and navigate to the Builder section of the form builder. You will find the text element in the Elements menu on the right. Click to add the text element to the canvas.
Select the newly created text element in order to access its Properties menu under the Elements menu.
Properties - Builder | |
|---|---|
Text | Write a text you want the user to read in the published form in the textbox under Text. The text will appear in the canvas when you press enter or move to the next setting. Text elements are typically used for longer bulks of text. If having rich text properties is desirable, like bold, italic and underlined text, check out the Formatting text user guide. |
Properties - Help/Style | |
|---|---|
Help Text | Toggle Display Help and write a Help Text for guiding the end-user. The help text is available to the user next to the element by clicking the icon. |
Tooltip | Toggle Display Tooltip and write a Tooltip for guiding the end-user in the form. The tooltip is available to the user by hovering over the group. |
Style – Tag Names | Insert tags which will be translated into CSS class names for the implementation elements in the respondent-GUI. The feature comes in handy when you are customizing a skin. |
For more guidance on shaping form content through guiding texts and styling, check out the user guides through the documentation page Help and Style - guide the end-user through the form.
