Abstract
AutoFill is a feature to help the users to fill out forms faster. When you start to type in a field, the browser displays options to fill in the field, based on earlier typed values.
Content
When a form is submitted, the browser stores the value submitted along with the value of the name attribute. If the browser identifies a field in the future with a matching name attribute, it provides autofill options.
Note:
Autofill feature is supported only in Datacap Textbox Editor. Other editors do not support this feature.
Configuration
- This feature can be enabled/disabled in user settings.
- This setting change does not take effect on the loaded field detail panel of the current page. Instead, it takes effect when the field detail panel is reloaded, such as navigating to other page, changing page types, or executing some task profile.
- When this feature is enabled in the user settings, it can still be disabled on some specific field via field definition or runtime field. The variable of runtime field overrides the one in field definition if both are configured.
- Add a variable "DisableAutoFill" to the field definition with the value "1"
- Runtime field has a variable "DisableAutoFill" with the value "1"
- IE has a setting for auto complete for forms. If you want to use this feature in IE, you need to enable auto complete for forms in IE options, as shown in the following figure.
