Add instructional text to a form
When creating a new form, you can add read-only text to the form to provide users with additional information or instructions on how to complete it.
Before adding instructional text to a form, it's important to know:
- Instructional text cannot be used in question groups, repeating forms, or repeating tables, including lab forms.
Note:
Instructional text can only be added to the top section of a two-section form. - Validation and predefined rules cannot be defined for instructional text.
- The added text can be formatted for further clarity if desired. External links and email addresses can also be included.
- You can modify or delete the text once your study version is approved.
- Create a one-section or two-section form.
- In the lower-left corner, click Add.
- If you are creating a two-section form, select one of the following:
- Before the table
- In the table
- After the table
- Select Instructional Text.
- Enter the instructional or informational text you'd like to provide the user responsible for completing the form, and format it for further clarification if desired.
