Basic

The basic tab contains settings that the majority of WS Form users will need to control a field. The settings are as follows:

Label

This is the label shown alongside the field. As well as entering a label into this field, you can also double click the label of the field in the editor. You should enter an easy-to-understand label for your field, for example First Name or Email.

Show Label

If enabled the label will be shown on your form. If you do not want the label to appear for a particular field, uncheck this box.

Required

If checked, the Google Address field must be clicked on by the user.

Hidden

If checked the field will be hidden on the form. It can be shown again using conditional logic or your own JavaScript.

Help Text

The help text setting enables you to add smaller text under the field to assist the website visitor in completing that field.

WS Form variables can be entered into this field.

Field Mapping

Use this section to map the Google address components to your form fields.

To map a field:

1. Click the Add  icon at the bottom right of the field mapping section.
2. In the left-hand column, select the Google address component.
3. In the right-hand column, select your form field.
4. Repeat this process for each address field on your form.
5. Click the Save button at the bottom of the sidebar to save your changes.

Google address components can be mapped to the following field types:

• Text
• Text Area
• Select
• Google Address

Google Map

Field

Choose the Google Map field to center with the address.

Zoom

Optionally enter a zoom level (1-20) used when the google map is centered with the address.

Geolocate on Click

If checked, when the map is clicked a geolocate will occur and the field mappings will be reprocessed with the closest address information.

Geolocate

Method

The auto complete setting can be used to automatically attempt to set the address to the users location. To enable this feature, choose one of the geolocation methods:

• None (Geolocating is disabled)
• Browser (Uses the location provided by the browser. More accurate but user is prompted to allow location sharing).
• IP (Less accurate. User is not prompted).

This method uses the Google Maps Geocoder API to convert the users latitude and longitude to an address.

On Load

If checked, a geolocate will occur when the Google Address field loads.

Accessibility

ARIA Label

Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) defines ways to make web content and web applications more accessible to people with disabilities.

This setting enables you to define what text is made available to ARIA applications. This would, for example, provide a screen reader with specific text to read to someone with a disability.

The value of this setting defaults to your field label. If you would like to change this, enter a new value.

WS Form variables can be entered into this field.

Exclusions

Exclude From Emails

By default, WS Form uses the #email_submission variable in email templates. This provides a simple way of displaying all of the submitted fields in emails. Sometimes there might be a need to exclude a field from an email, for example, you might want to not include some introductory copy on a form, or hide a field you’re using with conditional logic to show or hide an element.

To hide a field from emails, check this box.

Other WS Form integrations may add exclusions in this section too, such as the WooCommerce integration which allows you to exclude certain fields from the cart entries.

Hidden Behavior

Always Include in Actions

This setting allows you to change the behavior of a field if the hidden setting is checked (See above), or if you set a field as hidden using conditional logic.

The normal behavior for a field that has been hidden is that it will not be included if an action has a Clear Hidden Fields setting enabled. For example, if you have a Send Email action, WS Form will not include fields that are hidden.

If this setting is checked, this field will always be included in actions if it is hidden.

Advanced

The advanced tab contains additional form attribute settings that provide further control over how a field is rendered.

Styles

Use the Styles settings to change the design of the Google Address field.

Label Position

There are five positions you can choose from for your label:

• Default
• Top
• Left
• Right
• Bottom

The default position will place the label set in the form settings advanced tab. For new forms this will be the Top positioning.

Note that when using some frameworks some label positions may not be available.

Label Width

If your label position is set to left or right, you can specify how wide the label will be. You can consider the overall width of the label and the field to be 12 columns (or whatever value is set in Form Settings). By default, labels are rendered at 3 columns wide (1/4 width), which means the field itself is 9 columns wide (3/4 width). You can change the width of the label using this setting.

To change the default width of all labels in your form:

1. Click the form settings icon. 2. Click the Advanced tab. 3. Scroll down to Default Label Width and change the setting. 4. Click Save at the bottom.

Vertical Alignment

The vertical alignment option allows you to choose how this field will be vertically aligned in relation to fields in the same row. The options are:

• Top
• Middle
• Bottom

Horizontal Alignment

The horizontal alignment setting allows you to choose how the icons are horizontally aligned. The options are:

• Left
• Center
• Right
• Space Around (The space around each icon is the same)
• Space Between (The space between each icon is the same)
• Space Evenly (The space before, between and after each icon is the same)

Height

Enter a height for the Google Map. You can either enter a height in pixels (e.g. 400px) or enter a percentage (e.g. 100% for a square). The percentage value is relative to the width of the map.

Classes

For developers WS Form allows you to add your own classes to fields.

Field Wrapper

The wrapper CSS class setting enables you to add a class (or classes) to a field wrapper. Field wrappers are sections of HTML added around a field to position them on the page. To add multiple classes, add a space between the class names.

Field

To add a class to the actual field element itself, enter a class (or classes) to this setting. To add multiple classes, add a space between the class names.

Labels

Reset

You can use this setting to change the text shown in the reset link. If left blank, it will default to Reset.

Restrictions

Result Type

If selected, the results will be restricted by this type. The available options are:

• All (Select this to enable postal code searching)
• Addresses
• Businesses
• Cities
• Regions

Country Restrictions

Country restrictions allows you to restrict the countries of addresses that are returned in the search results. You can add up to five countries.

To add a country restriction:

1. Click the Add  icon to add a country row.
2. Choose a country.
3. Repeat this for every country you want to restrict the results to.
4. Click Save to save the country restrictions.

User Status

Choose from one of the options to filter which user status can see this field:

• Any
• Is Logged In
• Is Logged Out
• Has User Role or Capability

If you choose Has User Role or Capability, additional settings will appear that enable you to choose one or more roles or capabilities.

Validation

Show Invalid Feedback

Invalid feedback text is shown when a form is saved or submitted, and the field has not been completed according to the field settings you have configured. For example if the minimum character count is 10 and you enter 5 characters and then submit the form, the field will be deemed invalid. If this setting is checked, invalid feedback is shown under the field.

Invalid Feedback Text

WS Form automatically builds invalid feedback text for all of your fields. If no text is entered into this field, the value shown in the field in light gray text will be shown. If you would like to specify alternative invalid feedback text, you can enter it within this setting.

WS Form variables can be entered into this field.

Custom Attributes

This setting is used to add custom attributes to the HTML of this field, such as data-my-attribute="1234". You can add as many custom attributes as you need.

To add a custom attributes key value pair:

1. Click the Add  icon to add a custom attribute row.
2. Enter the key in the left column.
3. Enter the value in the right column.
4. Click Save to save the custom attributes.

Breakpoints

The breakpoint settings define the width of a field and also what the offset (how many columns from the left-hand side of the form or the previous field) of a field is for each breakpoint. For more information about the breakpoint settings and capabilities of WS Form, click here.
