Want to change how a field behaves on a survey versus a data entry form? Need to automatically pre-fill today's date, hide a field until a specific condition is met, or lock an answer so it can’t be edited? This is what action tags are for.

Join us for this session as we cover the topic of Action Tags in detail. Action Tags are simple phrases beginning with an "@" sign that can be placed inside a field's Field Annotation box when adding or editing a field. Action tags can change how your fields function within surveys and data forms.

What We’ll Cover:

• How and where to apply Action Tags in your project design.
• Using tags like @HIDDEN-SURVEY or @READONLY to customize user and participant experiences.
• Saving time with automated data capture using tags like @NOW, @TODAY, and @DEFAULT.
• Community Q&A: Bring your specific project bottlenecks, and we'll help you figure out how to fix it
