How to use the Input Data Processing Feature?
This Input Data Processing feature is given to select whether the data entered should have a data formatting option or not such as concatenateString, calculateAge, differenceBetweenDates, trimSpacesString, uppercaseString, lowercaseString, differenceBetweenDatesInDays, differenceBetweenDatesInMonths, and sorted array variable.
In this document how the input data processing feature is used, is explained using an example.
- Go to the 'Forms V2' widget under the 'Pages' tab.
- Add/edit text box(es) by entering the Variable Name, Label Text, and Placeholder Text. Here, we are using one Textbox for entering the first name and another one for the last name of the merchant. Click on 'Add'
- Click on 'Create Screen'.
- Now, edit this created page.
- Add another Textbox and set its Variable Name, Label Text, and Placeholder Text. Here, we are using this Textbox for prefilling the full name of the merchant using the details entered in the previous two textboxes.
- In the Prefill Page option select the name of the current page, 'Input Data Processing' (name of the page from which the details will be prefilled) and in the Prefill Variable option select the variable names of the previous two text boxes(names of the variables from which details will be prefilled).
- Enable the 'Has Input Data Processing' toggle button.
