Form Fields

As described in Buyer Side settings - making an element editable in a document does not always need a Form Field.

But it is important to note that Form Fields have several use cases where they are mandatory, such as:

• Whenever you need a value (e.g. a name) to be populated in several places of a document.
• When a visual selection of options or additional info for a selection is needed.
• If you need to expose a configuration option from a Sub Document.
• For special options like color schemes or document size selection.
• If you would like to create a pure form-based edit UI.
• If values should be set before starting the Editor (e.g. prefilled forms from a database).

Form Fields are added by using the Form Field Dialog. There you can choose from different Form Field Types. They are one of the powerful features of Printess because they could be used to build complex logics - without the need for programming knowledge.
