Mobile We have been seeing some great feedback on the Mobile Forms Beta Forums in the last week during the tablet forms beta. This post is intended to highlight some interesting conversations, ideas, projects, or threads in our mobile optimized forms forum. As our beta program progresses, we hope you find the information useful for building your own web forms using the beta features available in Alpha Anywhere. If you have questions about touch optimized mobile forms or how the new beta tools can help you build them, drop by the forums.
Using Multi-State Switch Editors
In the thread, Switch Editors, we posted a new video about using Switch Editors to edit values in-line rather than using an Editor Set for binary data. A user asked how that Switch Editor could be configured to handle multiple states (3 or more.) We posted a sample component you can download that demonstrates how to do this.
How do I use the {*field} Placeholder in a Conditional Statement in a Template?
Bill Hess wanted to build a field template that checked the value of the field inside a conditional. While you can use {*field} in Field Templates, this particular placeholder is not one you'd use to check the value of a field. Visit the thread to see how you'd create a conditional statement that referenced the value in the field.
