If you need to have the captions of all values checked in a notification, there are several ways to accomplish the task. I would use a hidden field. Build a behavior that populates a hidden multi-line text box with the value of what is in the hidden multi-line input field plus a space plus the caption of the check-box when it is checked. Run the behavior behind the submit button rather than on the individual check-boxes so your users can change their minds without giving false-positives.Then you can use the hidden field in your email notification.<br /> Have a great day!<br /> Dennis </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/checkbox-field-in-notification#post-1649 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:45:59 +0000 eayala 1649@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I have searched this forum, but I can't seem to find how to do this:<br /> I have a registration form that has a checkbox group field. I'd like to send a receipt acknowledgement notification email to the submitter including all the checkboxes (captions) they checked in the form. I have tried selecting Checkbox Group as a field in the message tab, but when I test the form, the response only has one of the multiple items that I selected. I'd like to show them everything they checked. I hope this make sense. I'm sure the solution is simple, but I'm new at this. Thanks in advance. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/behaviour-objects-move-of-own-free-will#post-1646 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:09:25 +0000 Peanuts890 1646@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Unfortunately having the "Snap to Grid" function disabled doesn't seem to solve the problem.

You most likely have 'Snap to grid' enabled in the View functions. If you disable 'Snap to grid' until the v1.18 update, this should not occur.</p> <p><a href="mailto:Aaron@PerfectForms">Aaron@PerfectForms</a> </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/behaviour-objects-move-of-own-free-will#post-1638 Wed, 18 Aug 2010 18:36:54 +0000 Peanuts890 1638@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Anybody experienced some of the objects in a behaviour layout moving to a random locations on the page especially if editing them or adding new objects from the toolbox. This very frustrating when you have a neat behaviour layout, you move the position of one item and it appears to just go to a random place taking its links with it. You try to put it back to where it was and it goes somewhere else. Having do one change, save thew design in case they and then do the next change. Have only noticed this since the last update (but that may be coincidental). </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/using-the-set-property-to-change-font-size#post-1636 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:40:51 +0000 madcatin 1636@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>We don’t have the implementation currently.

I have added a behavior to "Group changes field data" for the Radio Button Group. This behavior uses a Multiple Branch to check which radio button is selected and then set another object on the page to a corresponding value, using the a Set Field command. This works fine.</p> <p>Because all the pages in the form are to be the same (with just some text changes), I set up the first page (Page 1) so it works perfectly, then created a new page and copied all the objects from Page 1 to the new page (Page 2), using the Edit menu on the Layout designer. This also copies the Behaviors for the objects.</p> <p>This all works great, EXCEPT that the copied behaviors on Page 2 still reference the objects on Page 1. That is, the Multiple Branch condition still references the Radio Buttons on Page 1 and the Set Field command still references the object on Page 1.</p> <p>I expected that when an object is Pasted to a new page, and the object's behaviors are also pasted, that the resulting behavior would reference the new objects on the new page. It seems strange that it doesn't work this way.</p> <p>Is this a bug or am I missing something? All help greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Steph </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/date-difference-function-error#post-1459 Fri, 21 May 2010 19:55:19 +0000 MABrown 1459@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I have identified another day that is incorrectly calculating - July 3rd, 2010.

Instead of only "OK or Cancel" or "Yes or No" options, how about a "Yes, No, or Cancel" option?</p> <p>This would be useful in my current form, which prompts a user on close. After a user clicks close, if they have un-submitted changes, a message asks the user if they would like to submit the changes. Right now, they can click Yes or No. If yes, the changes are submitted and the form is closed. If no, the changes are not submitted, and the form is closed. If there were a cancel option, the user can click cancel and prevent the form from closing.</p> <p>I can think of several workarounds (such as, if the user clicks no, have a second message ask if they would still like to close the form), but I think having a cancel button would be a cleaner way to achieve the objective. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/search-multible-forms#post-1413 Mon, 10 May 2010 15:32:56 +0000 ijobling 1413@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>No reason why not ;) As you've seen, you can set up filters in your reports to filter for whatever you want but of course if you have multiple forms and therefore multiple datasources in your report you would need to set up a filter for each datasource. It may then be appropriate to use a filter input behaviours perhaps under a 'button' where you then have a text input field where you can enter in the customer name/email etc you have stored on the form and then a filter input behaviour for each datasource using the 'wildcard' function and then set to the value of the text input field </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/search-multible-forms#post-1412 Mon, 10 May 2010 15:13:28 +0000 schaferdg@yahoo.com 1412@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Is there a way to search multible forms in a report?<br /> ie.

A number of users find it very useful to set up a specific page for attachments, and within the form where you want to allow users to attach (or view) these, simply have a 'go to page xxx' function so you only have one copy of each attachment on the form and on the attachments page have a 'return' function to take them back to the page they came from when they have done.<br /> For instance if you allow your users to detach as well as attach, and have 2 copies of the same file on your form, they could update one of these files but not the other and it may be harder to manage ? </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/copy-field-for-attachments#post-1347 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 17:22:19 +0000 sshiu 1347@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the reply.
