Selecting a control mode

When you create a new control, you configure how the control can be edited.

1. On the Control tab of the Control form, select one of the following Control Modes options:

   • Editable/Read-Only – Select this option to configure the associated property for both edit and read-only modes. You can configure the following user interface elements:

     • Text Input

     • Text Area

     • Date Picker

     • Checkbox

     • Radio Buttons

     • Dropdown

     • AutoComplete

     • Rich Text Editor

     • Address Map

     • Multi-Select list

   • Read-Only– Select this option to make the control display as non-editable text. The Editable column does not appear.

   • Action – Select this option to set the UI Element to one of the following settings:

     • Button
     • Icon
     • Link

     Only one column of settings appears, which applies to both editable and read-only control modes as defined in other parameter settings in this form.

The Control Modes field does not appear in the Parameters dialog box when you customize the control in a section.
