Show Element Borders on Bloc Front End

When editing a form in a bloc, you can see dashed white lines to allow you to have better visibility of the fields in the bloc and their location. This feature is mostly not necessary on the front end. However there are sometimes more complex Blocs where users may still want to keep these white dashed borders. This settings enables that.

Close the form after submitting

Once you have submitted the form, or updated an existing record, with this setting turned on the form will close.

Hide Advanced Report Option

Performance Setting

Hides the advanced report section entirely, improving load speed

Hide Edit and Filtering Checkbox

Hides the checkbox that allows filtering and editing of individual records.

Hide Calendar

Removes the calendar interface from the bloc

Hide 'Per Page' Option

Removes the feature that lets users control how many records to view per page.

Hide the Oldest to Newest Checkbox option

Removes the sort toggle that changes the data view from newest to oldest or vice versa

Hide "Cannot be Empty" rule astericks on fields.

Hides the asterisk (*) next to required fields.

In Full Screen mode, hide data when form is open

Prevents the data view from showing when the form is expanded in full-screen mode

Show Data Edit History Option

Displays the history log of changes made to data within the bloc (if available).

Hide Submit Button

Removes the Submit Button from visibility on the bloc.

Hide Update Button

Removes the Update Button from visibility on the bloc (i.e. when Editing a record)

Hide Delete Button

Removes the Delete Button from visibility on the bloc (i.e. when Editing a record)

Submit Button Text

This is the text that will replace "Submit" in the form, e.g. "Create it Now"

Add New Button Text

This is the text that will replace "Add New" in the form, e.g. "Add New Staff Member"

Update Button Text

This is the text that will replace "Update" in the form, e.g. "Update Invoice"

Delete Button Text

This is the text that will replace "Delete" in the form, e.g. "Remove Staff Member"

Hide Add New Button

Sometimes we may just want to see data or the form on the front end. This hides the "Add New" button on the front end if the form is closed.

Hide Form on Page Load

This hides the form when you load the page so that your display will only show data.

Hint: Using this along with the "Hide Add New Button" will allow you to create a page where you can only see data and not enter anything into a form.

Hide Export All Data button

This is a replica of the setting that can be found at the top the called used .

Displays an area on the that shows counts of all the values in the data.

Please note, we are investigation the disconinuation of the feature to improve the performance of the data being displayed on the bloc. Due to the availability of more this feature is more redundant than it has been in the past.

Enables the display of the of the front end of the bloc.

This option will hide the Advanced Report section from the front of the bloc:

Hint: is more than just a form, it is quite normal to want to use blocs just to display some information or pictures.

This hides the on the front end of the bloc.
