Common input types you may want to change:

  • Checkbox to Checklist Item

  • Text input to Choice option list

  • Checklist Item options

  • Date and Time options

To change an input type:

  1. Select the cell with the input type you want to change.

  2. Select the new type you want from the Type option list on the Properties configuration pane.

If you changed the type to the Choice type, select the Options Sources. The options source determines what options are available for the end user to select in the IndustraForm.

If you want the same custom options for multiple choice cells, we recommend that you use the Option List source. For more information on how to configure an option list, refer to Option Lists.

To change a Checklist Item’s options:

  1. Select the Checklist Item’s cell.

  2. Select the options you want from the Input Style option list. The available input style options are: Yes, No, N/A; Done, Skip; Yes, No; and Done.

To change a Date and Time cell’s display:

  1. Select the Date and Time cell.

  2. Select the Input Style option list and select Now Button. When the NOW button is clicked, the current date and time are displayed.

Alternatively, a Date and Time cell can be configured to display a Long Date (for example, July 15 2020, 13:00) or Short Date (for example, 07/15/2020 13:00). This is configured on the Properties configuration pane under Format.
