Help buttons can be used to embed reference information, such as documents, external URLs, or bodies of text into a popup window. They are useful to keep a form simplified and focused on the data entry, rather than putting large amounts of text directly onto the form.
At this time, this function can only be built into a form from the mobile app form builder. However, once a form is created, the help button is supported on the across both the web and mobile app for anyone opening that form.
...
Several properties can be adjusted and set for help buttons, the key factor being what displays on the screen when the user taps the button.

Used to provide end-users the ability to slide an indicator on a horizontal slider. This is set on numeric fields only and can be used effectively on pain scale forms.
Slider (Horizontal Slider)
...
The non-scale horizontal slider allows a user to slide an indicator from left to right on a plain line (no markings) to get a value. The visibility of that value depends on the settings.
This is created directly via the mobile app form builder, or within the web form builder by setting a regular number field with the special type property “Horizontal Slider”.
Vertical Slider
...
Only available in the form designer on the mobile app and intended for collection of data through a users mobile device
...
The Vertical Slider Scale (VAS) allows the Form Designers to provide a vertical scale in which the user on a mobile app can use their finger to slide the on a scale to a particular value. The VAS could be used, as an example, to ask a patient how they feel today on a scale of 1 to 10.

Due to the touch requirement, this field type only renders on the mobile app. The web form will display as numeric entry. |
The unique properties for the VAS field are the following:
Tick Attributes - Allows the Form Designer to change the size, spacing and number of ticks that will be displayed on the scale
Ball Size - Controls the size of the ball the user grabs and slides up and down.
Upper Descriptor - Sets the text to be displayed at the high end (top) of the VAS field
Lower Descriptor - Sets the text to be displayed at the low end (bottom) of the VAS field
Number of Steps - Works with the step increment to set the high value of the scale. For example, if you have 5 steps and 2 step increments, the top of the scale will be 10. If only 1 step increment was used, max of the scale would be 5
Step Increment - How many steps will be shown on the scale. If 2 steps are used with 10 number of steps, the user will see 2, 4, 6, 8, …. all the way up to 20 for the max value of the scale
Start Step - The Form Designer can start where to start the bottom of the scale.
Score Box - When the user slides the scale up and down the value or “score” of where the slider stops is shown to the left of the slider control
Score Label Title - Allows the Form Designer to name the value or “score”. For example, Pain Scale
Hide Score Box - If “On” will hide the value or “score” of the slider from the user.

| Info |

Due to the touch requirement, this field type only renders on the mobile app. The web form will only display the background image itself, similar to an image label object. Users must be on the mobile app during data entry to draw on top of that image. |
