Field Options
Once the field has been added to your form, access its options by clicking the pencil icon.
The options are organized into the following tabs: Properties, Visibility, Display, Advanced, and Help.
1. Properties Tab
By default, the title matches the field type, but you can change it if needed. Modifying the title after the form has been saved for the first time does not change the field's identifier or its tag in the Help tab.
1.1 Required Entry
Enabling this option makes it mandatory to fill in this field before saving the data. A red asterisk is displayed both on the mobile app and in the web entry view.
The required entry applies to the selected sub-fields, but you can disable it for specific ones. To do so, open the field and click the red asterisk next to the relevant sub-fields.
1.2 Fields to Display
The field is made up of the following sub-fields: Address, Postal Code, City, Country, Region, and Department.
All sub-fields are selected by default, but you can uncheck any that you do not need.
ℹ️ Practical Information
If you select multiple sub-fields, there will be a separate tag for each one.
2. Visibility Tab
As with all field types, you can:
Set one or more visibility conditions : the field only appears if the condition(s) are met.
Check Always hidden field so it does not appear during data entry.
Do nothing: the field remains always visible.
3. Display Tab
This tab allows you to customize how the field appears on the mobile app.
3.1 Stay on the Same Line as the Previous Element When Displayed on Mobile
This option allows two fields to be displayed side by side during data entry, provided the option Allow multiple fields to be displayed on one line has been enabled in the mobile app settings.
3.2 Element Size
This refers to the font size of the field name during data entry. You can choose between Normal, Larger, or Smaller.
3.3 Color
The field name is displayed in the color of your choice.
3.4 Icon
This option displays an icon to the left of the field name.
3.5 Help Text
You can enter information for your users. During data entry, it can be viewed by clicking the question mark to the right of the field name.
4. Advanced Tab
4.1 This Data is Personal Data
This option partially masks personal information in the data history, and allows the full information to be revealed with a single click. It also enables an Excel CSV export of the various fields for which this option is activated.

4.2 Delete Paragraph in Custom Word Export if Data is Empty or Hidden
If nothing has been entered in this field, the paragraph will not appear in your custom Word export.

4.3 Read-Only When Editing or Pushing
The data cannot be modified after saving or when sending pre-filled data via Push.
5. Help Tab
In this tab, you will find the identifier and the tag(s) associated with the field.
The Identifier is automatically generated from the field name. You can modify it as long as the form has not yet been saved for the first time.
The Tag is built from this identifier. It is always enclosed by two hash symbols:
##tag##.
Sub-field Name | Tag |
Address | ##adresse:adress## |
Postal Code | ##adresse:zip## |
City | ##adresse:city## |
Country | ##adresse:country## |
Region | ##adresse:state## |
Department | ##adresse:county## |
⚠️ Important
Modifying the title of a field before the form is saved for the first time will also change its identifier and tag. Once the form has been saved for the first time, both elements become permanent and can no longer be modified.
Tags are essential for creating custom exports in Word and Excel formats. They can be adjusted to display entered data in different ways.
