Configuring Schemas for linked hints_ labels_ and Read-only Form Text fields
About this task
WebForms Designer users can create links from their Form to an SDL Tridion Component from three different locations:
- from the label of any Field
- from the hint text of any Field
- from the text of any Read-Only Form Text Field
In each of these locations, the WebForms Designer user can:
- create a hyperlink that points to a Component
- place the contents of one field of a Component in that location
The WebForms Designer User Manual explains in more detail how this is done.
However, when the WebForms Designer user chooses to place the contents of a Component directly in the location of the label, hint text or read-only text, that user can only select a Component based on one Schema.
By default, all Components must use the ComponentLinkText Schema, found in the folder Building Blocks/Tridion WebForms/Component Linking Example/ in the WebForms Publication. This Schema consists of one Format Area.
You can change the types of Components that WebForms Designer users can select by configuring a different Schema for them to select. This section explains how to do this.
