Field Settings

Each step can have multiple fields. Each field has its own settings.

Add, remove and re-arrange

You can add, remove and re-arrange fields using the controls below “Fields”. The text in (brackets) is the field id (e.g. “field_1”). You may need to know that for some Conditional fields.

Label

This text will appear above the field input.

Description

This text will appear below the Label, and above the field input.

Required

The user will not be able to progress to the next step if the field is required and the user has not filled it. If the user does not fill it and clicks “Next” or “Done”, their screen will scroll to the field, and it will be highlighted in red.

I’d love to be able to use this documentation, @angus (I’m subscribed at the Small business level) but all of the images are broken.

@ncaming Sorry about the images Nate. I’ve updated the ones in this topic and am handling the other topics today. Please reach out to us at support@pavilion.tech if you need any help as a subscriber.

Is it possible to use the submissions and display them in a dropdown (selection)?

For example, I am using a custom field for cities. In the initial steps, they can select existing cities and if their city is not listed, they can create a new one in a text field. After this step, I need to add the new field for the submitted city so that it will be displayed in the dropdown (selection) for the next user.

Hey Phillipp,

Yes, you can use a user’s submission as the content for a dropdown by selecting a wizard field.

One limitation is that the field has to be on a step prior to the step where you’re using it. So you’ll need to break up the fields into different steps.
