Many advanced features involve adding [[business logic]] to your view. Add scripts to your form, triggered for example when users click a form tab or change a value.

== Placeholder text == | |||
If you want to advise your users what to enter into the field, you can use this feature. Placeholder text is text that’s displayed in an empty field and provides either a hint to users at what to enter into that field, or some specific instructions. Once user taps on the field to enter data there, the placeholder text is cleared. | |||
There are two options for how to enter such text: | |||
* Use [[localization]] to add static placeholder text. | |||
* Use form rules to add static or dynamic placeholder text. | |||
=== Using localization === | |||
# Navigate to [[Localization]] on project level or on organization level. | |||
# Click '''Add''' to add a new string. | |||
# As '''ID''', enter <code><entity name>.<field name>.empty</code>, for example <code>account.address1_city.empty</code>. | |||
# As Label, enter the placeholder text, for example <code>Please enter city</code>. | |||
# Click '''OK''' to save the string. | |||
=== Using form rules === | |||
You can use [[rules editor]] to set placeholder text as a static string or even change it dynamically. | |||
In this example, in OnChange rule, the placeholder text for address1_line1 is static, and when user enters data to the address1_line1, the placeholder text for address1_line2 and address1_line3 shows up. | |||

| '''Then''' | |||

| '''Step''' || Form.address1_line2.PlaceHolderText || Assign || This is optional | |||
|- | |||
| '''Step''' || Form.address1_line3.PlaceHolderText || Assign || This is also optional | |||
