How to Set a Non-Editable Field

Creating a non-editable field (read-only field) in FillFaster’s Form Builder is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure that your form fields are properly set up and cannot be edited by recipients.

Notes:

  • Non-editable fields will only be shown on the PDF version of the form and not on the web form, making it appear as part of the static content of the document.
  • This feature is useful for fields like prices, plans, and other static information that should not be altered by the form recipient.

Step 1: Access the Form Builder

  • Navigate to your dashboard.
  • Click on “Create a Template Form” , or “Edit Form” for existing one.

Click “Start Building” to proceed to the form builder interface.

Step 2: Add a New Field / Edit existing Field

  • In the form builder, click on the “Add new data field” button located at the upper right portion of the form builder interface, or choose a field you already have.
  • In the “Edit Field” dialog box, select the type of field you want to add, such as “Text”.
  • Enter the field name, for example, “Price”.

Step 4: Set the Field as Non-Editable (Read Only)

  • Check the box labeled “Non-editable” to ensure the field cannot be modified by the recipient.
  • Optionally, you can set a default value for the field. This value will be displayed if no data is provided when creating a submission (either through the dashboard or via the API).

Step 5: Save and Update the Form

  • Once all fields are added and configured, click “Create and Get Link” to generate the form link.

  • You can now share this link with your clients.

By following these steps, you can effectively add and configure non-editable fields in your FillFaster forms, ensuring that certain information remains unchanged and is presented as intended.
