Auto-complete functionality is a great way to add more power to your forms.
Auto complete from database is very easy to use from Form builder.
We have added one more great feature for MyTaskHelper's users called Auto-Complete.
It does mean that you can set some set of default values for your Single Line fields and MyTaskHelper will try to help your users to fill field with auto-complete values by showing the list of possible values. When user enters first symbol in the field we will search in your predefined list of auto-complete values and will show the list of possible field values. Let's show it quickly on a small project. First of all make sure to create new project for testing this feature. Then add new form, it will be very simple form with just a few fields. Create State field with type of Single Line. Set some description text for your users.
And now the most important thing - enter the list of auto-complete values, one per line. Click on auto-complete link.
And copy and paste the list of US States.
Here we are, let's see it in action.
Great, it definitely works! Now you can go ahead and improve your forms to add more power and to impress your users! ;)
To be honest previous example showed not very good example of how to add States field. Because now we have such field type in Form Builder! Select States field and create new field 'Choose your state'.
That's it, see how States field works in action.
Enjoy!
We keep improving our Free Form Builder. Making it more advanced, giving you new options. And today we are glad to introduce one more field type - Birthday. Yes, it's just a birthday, but I should admit it's so widely used field type!
So why to do not add it? We thought the same and just added it. Thanks for My Task Helper's flexibility.
Create new database for testing Birthday field.
Add new testing birthday web form.
Now just go ahead and select Birthday type for your new Your Birthday field.
Now you are free to try it. Click on Add Record link and add your new Birthday field.
One more sweet thing to mention. Once you've added record with birthday you should see age in the data table.
Yes, we calculating ages automatically for you. We will definitely go further and improve our search functionality to make it more easy for you to search through your databases.
Now you know few more tips how to make your amazing web forms more powerful, so go and improve your the most beautiful forms!
