Updates and Enhancements to Encompass Web Input Form Builder - 23.1 Major Release

When working with form elements in the Input Form Builder, the Properties panel now includes a new drop-down field at the top of the Properties tab that lists the Control ID of each element currently used on the form. The drop-down enables administrators to easily identify and locate the element they are looking for. The Control ID for the currently selected element displays in the field, and the associated properties are displayed. When a different Control ID (element) is selected from the list, the Properties tab updates accordingly.

Administrators can now delete JavaScript files from the Asset Management > JavaScript Files list, just like they can delete forms and tools from the Custom Forms and Custom Tools lists in the Form Builder. After selecting a JavaScript file in the list, select the Delete button. A pop-up window displays with a list of affected forms that will be impacted by the deletion. The administrator then has the option to cancel the deletion or proceed.

An issue occurred for some administrators when adding a Label control to the header of the portion of a Group Box control in the form designer, where the height of the Group Box header become greater (i.e., taller) than it would otherwise be when compared to, for example, what happens when adding a Button or Dropdown Box control to the Group Box header. This resulted in the custom form rendering in Encompass with misaligned form sections and fields. This issue has been resolved and the size of the header portion of the Group Box remains consistent when Label, and other, controls are added to it.
