Overview

To Add Form Headers to Forms

• You must have purchased this add-on.

• You must be an administrator of the site.

Form Header

• Use single line of text columns (fields).

• The column name is not displayed on the page and instead is used to identify that it is a “header” when viewing list columns on the list settings page.

• Under Additional Column Settings, the “Description” field is the critical piece that turns the “default value text” into a header; it must contain exact text as explained below.

• The Default Value – must be “text” and this is the text that will display as the Form Header text within your form.

A web search for ‘Hex colour’ will supply you with sources of colour codes.

How to Add a Form Header

1. Go to the list that needs the Form header (Site Actions > View All Site Content > your list) then to the list settings.
2. Click "Add new column".
3. Column Name: not used/displayed in form – name could contain "Header – (your choice)"  (or some text to identify within the columns listed in the list settings page).
4. Type of Column: Single line of text
5. Description: this field must contain the text “Header Section” (the system is looking for this exact phrase), a dash (hyphen) and your chosen colour (in hexadecimal code)
   Example:  Header Form - #94FFGG. Using the text 'Header Section -' (i.e. no specified colour) will mean the default colour will be used.
6. Default Value: Text
7. Default Text: Your choice of Header Name (for display in the form).
