Text Area
The text area widget allows a user to provide large amount of text using an application. This widget contains a scroll bar. To use the new version, refer to Text Area.
Text Area Properties
To use a text area widget, in addition to the default settings, the following
settings are available.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Source | The source of data based on which queries have been added in the Page Data section. You can also enter the data source manually or use a formula. |
| Required | Identifies if an input must be sent to the query. |
| Submit on Charge | If selected, changing the value of the input submits the query to which this input is assigned. |
Possible Uses
A standard text box can handle large amounts of text, but it may not be user-friendly because not all of the text can be seen or edited at once. If a user wants to submit a comment, for example, a text area allows them to write several sentences and view the text as a paragraph (for example, license agreement or privacy policy, which usually contains a large amount of text).
