Here’s a little bit about some of the new features and functionality coming out with TheFormTool PRO v2.5:
- When the Question & Answer Table includes two-dimensional blocks of information (like names, addresses, and phone numbers for a set of people), the form author now has the option of arranging those blocks horizontally for compact and simple data entry.
- Fields can directly access any item in a list or table, either by sequential number or by its characteristics.
- It’s easy to extract a sublist of items from a list or table. For example, the finished form could include a list of adults, a list of females, and a list of people who are not named John or Jane.
- New logical operators (AND/OR/XOR) allow easy creation of compound conditions. For instance: include this paragraph if the account balance is over limit AND the due date has passed OR the client is in bankruptcy.
- You can now set all aspects of a field/list/condition in a single pass, and every type of field/list/condition can be re-edited and fine-tuned at any time.
Here are a couple of specifics features worth illustrating:
- A table can include checkboxes (Columns 3 and 5), dropdown boxes (Column 4), and multi-line entries (Column 2).
- Various areas in the form can use either the entire list of items in the row or any portion thereof.
For example, in this illustration, which you can expand by clicking:
- In the first paragraph, Myra and Bridget are excluded from the list of attendees
- In the list of addresses, Jeremy is excluded because he’s not a shareholder
- The list of officers extracts only officers from the grid
- In the signature, the President’s name is extracted from the table
