Overview
Form headers are items used to help users identify your form content into sections.
Form headers will only be visible in the front end/user side of the site. The columns will appear as a normal single line of text column in a new form on the site administrator section of the site
How-to
Open the list you wish to insert a form header to via the List and Libraries page in the site administration section of your site.
- Open the list setting and select "Add new column"
- Column Name: This will not be used or displayed in the form the name should include some text to show it is a header column.
- Column Type: Single line of text
- Description: This field must contain the text "Header Section" as the system will be looking for this text. You can additionally add a color using a hyphen (dash) and a hex color code e.g. Header Section - #CCD8FF. When no color is specified the system will use the default color. You can view hex color code options in the link below:
