List Element Control

The List Element control allows you to source a list based on the answer of a previous element.

Use the WebAdmin > Lists page to add and edit lists. For more details refer to Add a List.

Configure the List Element Control

  1. In WebAdmin, select Forms.

  2. Navigate to an existing element within your form or select Insert a new Element.

  3. Select Maintain element settings.

  4. In the Update Element Details dialog:

    1. Select the List Element control.

    2. Select the Text field, and enter a description for the control.

    3. Select the Source Ref field, and start typing the required list Reference. Select it when it appears.

    4. Enter a Prefix or Suffix to the answer that is sourced from the previous element. This allows you to source another specific question-related list.

      For example, the item ‘Gas Cooker’ could be sourced from the previous element and by entering the suffix ‘Manufacturer’, the element will look for a list named Gas CookerManufacturer. If lists are not configured with the correct prefix or suffix in the Reference field, the form will display List Unavailable.

    5. Configure other control options as required. For more details refer to Form Sections and Controls.
