I have a form that requires an initial on two different lines. Could someone suggest which tool to use so that the applicant is directed to initial the two lines?
I tried the callout tool but I couldn't figure out how to set the font size, it was too big. I then tried the sticky note and it just didn't look right. I don't want the sticky note or callout tool to print, just be visible on the form when the applicant fills it out on their computer.
Thanks,
Mike
There is also the tool tip option on the General tab of the field properties dialog. Of course that can be slow and will work mostly when the user hovers over the field with the mouse. If the user tabs to navigate the form then that won't work.
There is also the alert function using JavaScript that can be added to the field focus action for a field. However that means that when ever the user enters the field any time the dialog appears and the user either has to hit the Return or Enter key or click on the Ok button in the dialog with the mouse. This method assumes that initialing would be done through the keyboard. Obviously this method wouldn't be any good for hand initialing with a pen.
Here is a line you could use for the JavaScript in the On Focus action for the first field to initial.
app.alert("Be sure to initial both areas of this form as indicated.");
