The Fill-in Form

Default Values in the middle of the interface contains an auto-generated form for the graphics template (the Fill In Form).

  • Add content in the editable fields.

  • The type of content allowed in the fields is set in the Edit Model window.

  • Fields can be restricted: for example, to only include text with a certain amount of characters, numbers within a specific range, or media placeholders for media assets, or be displayed as options in a drop-down list.

Info: Content added will be shown in the Preview Window if the fields in the Fill In Form are exposed controls made by the template designer.

Text Fields

  • Multi-line text: Multi-line text supports standard ASCII characters. It does not support any type of text formatting and does not convert any text. It keeps the text as it was typed.

  • Single-line text: A single-line text field converts any white-space to space. White-space includes space, tab, newline, etc. Single-line text converts any white-space to the space character you get by pressing the spacebar KEY only. For Template Builder, this is also a text field with a single-line entry, unlike multi-line text.

  • Formatted text: Formatted text refers to the ability to hold formatted text. For example, a formatted text field can show that some of the texts are bold or italic, for example, when a field has Rich-Text functionality.
    Although such a display is not yet completely supported (no Rich-text support yet) on our payload text field. Formatted text is used so that if a field has a formatted type text created in Artist, the field type can also be selected in Template Builder.
