Customize Your Form with Extra Options (Advanced)

🔴 On2Air Forms has been shutdown to focus on our On2Air Backups Airtable app Learn more about automated Airtable backups - on2air.com

Each field type has various Extra Options depending on the field type.

There are many ways you can customize your form to fit the style, color, and needs of your company.

We have several built-in options for customizing your form and we also have additional formatting options in the Advanced options to change it even more!

With these advanced options, you change colors, icons, text labels, number currency, dropdown styles, restrict formatting on phone numbers, and much more!

Advanced Options in Each Form Field

In every Form Field, there’s an Extra Options configuration. You can click the View Advanced Options button to bring up a list of available formatting options.

Examples

Customize the Linked Record Button Label

Example: In a Linked Record field called Content Library, I want to add my own label and icon to the buttons.

Here’s what it looks like as the default button setting with no customization:

Customize the Icon on the Linked Record Button

Next, we’ll add a different icon on the buttons

Each Field option links to documentation for customizing your form field.

For icons, it links to this page - https://primefaces.org/primereact/icons/ - This is the list of icons available to use on the form.

I want to change it to this checkbox icon. You can see underneath the icon, there’s a shortcode.

  • Copy and paste the shortcode, pi-check-square

  • Paste the shortcode into the icon > create value field and click Save

  • Now, there’s a checkbox icon on the ‘Create’ button!
