Project Link control

The project link control can be used when you want users to select from a list of key values from a linked project. For example, on the job application form pictured below, the Position list will populate the list of available jobs from the linked Open Positions project.

Properties

Once a project link control has been added to a form, you can configure it using the options on the Properties tab.

Required: Makes the project link field mandatory.

Read-only: The project link field will be non-editable when a user is viewing the form.

ID: The project link control ID. The ID is automatically assigned when a project link control is added to a form. The value of this field cannot be edited.

Name: A name for the project link control. This name is used to identify the project link control in other forms. You cannot edit the name of a project link field if it is mapped to an index field.

Display Name: A name that will be displayed for the project link field in other areas of FileBound.

Project: The project whose key values or key visual values will display in the project link drop-down. If the key visual field is not specified for the project, the values of the key field will be displayed.

Field Mapping: Select an index field from this list in order to map the project link control to the field.

Tab Order: The sequence in which a field will be selected when Tab is pressed. For example, if the tab order for a field is set to 3, when Tab is pressed for the third time, that field will be selected.

Edit Rules: Opens the Edit Rules window where you can configure conditional rules for the control. See Conditional rules for more information.
