I need to add a set of instructions (multiple sentences/lines) to a custom form. I don't see an option to enter something like free form text, is there a way to do this?
have you tried using "text of" on the form?
I have tried that, I must not have the syntax correct? I have tried a couple of different ways with no luck.
text of untranslatable: "Testmessage"
text of: "Testmessage"
Hi Don,
This worked for us as Andy shared. Examples below
Hmm not sure what I was doing wrong before, but it's taking it now. I'll see how it looks, I may need to create rich text fields as well but I'm doing this within the Employee Business Class and I'm not sure where I would add fields as I wouldn't want them at the Employee level.
In addition to the "text of" option, I have from time to time created a user field of type "Text" on a business class, populated the field with the verbiage desired for the instruction, and then referenced the user field on a form. It can be set to display as text with bold and/or color options.
We use the rich text field for our HR team so that they can change the text whenever they need to then the form is automatically updated with the new changes. Works well but I would like to know how MRMacGown is doing the bold and color option from the form.
MRMacGown - would you be willing to share an example please?
Thanks!
You could add it to HROrganization (since Employee always has HROrganization as a context field) and then reference it from an Employee form as HROrganization.YourFieldName.
