  • Add Add a new row to the repeatable section
  • Remove Remove a row from the repeatable section
  • Move Up Move up one row
  • Move Down Move down one row
  • Drag Drag and drop the row to a new position
  • Reset Reset the row to the default state
  • Clear Clear the row

Demo

A demo of the icon functionality and available styles is given below. Try clicking the icons to see this field in action:

Overview

When a form section is set to be repeatable, WS Form will automatically add an icons field to it if one does not already exist.

The icons field can be placed within the section it will control, or in a different section to control it remotely. If the icons field is placed outside of the section it will control, only the Add and Remove functionality will be available.

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 label is used to identify the icons field in the WS Form form builder.

Hidden

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

Repeatable Section

Use this setting to choose which repeatable section the icons will control. If you add an icons field to an existing repeatable section, it will automatically be assigned to that section.

Icons

The icons setting is used to choose which icons are shown in the field.

To add an icon:

  1. Click the Add  icon at the bottom right of the icons repeater.
  2. In the left column, select the icon type.
  3. In the right column, enter the ARIA label (accessibility).
  4. Repeat this process for each icon.
  5. Click the Save button at the bottom of the sidebar to save your changes.

Accessibility

ARIA Label

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

The ARIA label column 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.
