iSheets - Single line text

Single line text is the most basic column type, allowing a user to enter a single line of plain text.

• Maximum characters - The maximum number of characters that may be entered in a single line text column is 255.  However, you may decrease this value to limit the number of characters entered.  By default, the maximum character limit is set to 255.
• Default value - Any text entered into this field will automatically be displayed when a new record is created. This text can be edited or removed if a user has sufficient editing privileges for the column.
• Column width - The width of the column displayed when the iSheet is viewed in the iSheets section. entries that are too long continue on a new line. The minimum column width is 20 and the maximum is 650.

Additional settings

You can select options for the column such as checking that an entry is a valid email address, or that the entry is required when a record is added:

• Email validation (new for v5.6.4) - Validate that the content follows the correct format for an email address when the record is submitted.

Email addresses are validated when a record is added, copied, edited or imported. It does not check records that were added before this setting was selected.

• Mandatory - A mandatory (or Required) column must be filled when a record is submitted. 
• Allow search - Deselect this setting to hide the content of this column from search results.
• Add to the default view - When the column is created add the column to the default View.

This setting is only available when you first add the column to the iSheet. 

• Enable inline editing - Activate inline editing for the column.
• Allow the field to be populated from another iSheet - This setting, if enabled, allows single and multiple line text fields to be populated with the value found in a selected column in the record of a source iSheet, the Lookup glossary.
