Single Input Form

The single input form allows an operator to enter a single string/numeric value.

When a user enters a value, it is checked against the Format Mask input parameter and/or the High Limit and Low Limit input parameters. If the values match, then the form is ready to be submitted.

Inputs

The following table describes parameters for this form:

Important: A value must be entered in the Prompt field.


Parameters	Data Type	Description
Default Value	String	Specifies the initial value of the text field. You can also update this value by writing to it within a Form activity. Note: Any new value must meet parameter requirements, as defined in this table.
Format Mask	String	Specifies the mask for the text entered by the user, which is initially set to the default value. Tip: For more information on applying masks, see the Mask Properties in the MSDN Library.
