Configuring a Form Data Field
You can use a form data field to make a set of invisible panes in the form visible when user specifies a certain value (or takes other action). In this case, by using a form data field you can track which of those panes are visible. The form data field functions as a global variable within the context of the form.
You can also use a form data field in a form containing a wizard pane to track which page of the wizard is currently visible to the user.
- Procedure
- Open the form in the Form Editor view, if it is not already open.
- In the Outline view for the form, right click the Data folder and click New Data Field.
- Provide a label, name, and type for the data field.
- Select External Reference to choose a type from all the types defined for the process.
