Google RoutingPRO

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.

Route

Start

Choose a field to use for the start location. You can choose the follow field types:

• Google Address
• Text
• Text Area
• Number
• Select
• Checkbox
• Radio
• Hidden

When using a Google Address field the user can conveniently enter a partial address and then select a full address from a dropdown list. When both the start and end location are chosen, WS Form will make a request for the route. Your Google API key will require the Places API enable on it to use this feature.

Other field types such as Text and Hidden can be used to allow a user to enter an address manually, or you can enter a fixed address to be used for either the start or end location.

Furthermore, other field types can also be populated with latitude and longitude values. They should be entered in the following format:

28.385233,-81.563873

A combination of Google Address and other field types can also be used.

End

Choose a field to use for the end location. See Start above for further details about this setting.

Field Mapping

Use this section to map the route components such as distance, duration and summary information 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 routing 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:

• Google Routing (i.e. the this field)
• Text
• Text Area
• Number
• Select
• Checkbox
• Radio
• Hidden

Travel Mode

Choose which transportation mode to use when calculating the route. The available options are:

• Bicycling
• Driving (Default)
• Transit
• Walking

Unit System

When mapping text based components (e.g. Distance – Text) this setting determines which unit is used when displaying that text.

Avoid Highways

If checked, the routes between origins and destinations will be calculated to avoid highways where possible.

Avoid Tolls

If checked, the directions between points will be calculated using non-toll routes, wherever possible.

Avoid Ferries

If checked, the routes between origins and destinations will be calculated to avoid ferries where possible.

Google Map

Choose the Google Map field to show the route on. Your Google API key will require the Maps API enabled on it.

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 add-ons may add exclusions in this section too, such as the WooCommerce add-on 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 Map 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

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.

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.
