Attributes can be configured with a control type. Control types determine how the format of the data the user will enter. For example, you can configure the attribute value to come from the selection of a value from a dropdown menu or configure the user's input to display in the format of a telephone number.

Control Types Description
Check Box or Radio

Checkboxes allow a user to select one or more of the specified values.

Radio buttons allow a user to select only one of the specified values.

  • a: The character must be an uppercase or lowercase letter in the English alphabet, A through Z.
