Text Fields

Short Text

Short Text fields are used for text characters and do not require any special formatting. They are used for titles, names of places or things, and other information which only requires a few words.

Settings:

Required: If checked, this field must have a value before a record can be added or updated
Must be unique: Setting to "Yes" means the value for this field must be unique
Default Value: This value will be used by default if no value is entered
Description: This allows you to input a description for the field. It is not visible to Live App users.

Paragraph Text

Paragraph Text fields are used for longer text that might need multiple sentences and paragraphs.

Settings:

Same settings as Short Text fields apply
When used in a Table element, options to truncate the text displayed at a character limit are available

Rich Text

Rich Text fields are used when you need to add more rich formatting and HTML to text. When edited, a rich text field will have a WYSIWYG interface for formatting the text with styles like bold, bullets, and more.

Note: Rich Text fields have a limitation of just over 30,000 bytes of information.
