Tick this box if you DO NOT wish data to be collected in this template item to be copied to any jobs created directly from the original form.  This is useful for a repeated task (such as booking in/out a rental item or repeated delivery) where the data remains the same but a sign-off is required so this box may be ticked for Date, Surname and Signature.  Please note that if a transformation option is applied to the newly created job, this setting may be over-ruled.

Show on report and web site only Select this field if the text is only to be shown on the web site and report, and not on the device. This is useful for information which is relevant for a customer viewing the report but is not important for an end-user.

Formatting

Options for formatting the fixed text

Additional display class

Display class changes the way that template items are displayed.  For more information look at the Display Classes how-to guide.

Item flag

Template item flags are used to apply display classes to template item in a consistent and efficient way.  They are set up in a system list called Template item flags and might be given names such as Danger so the text appears in red, Disclaimer for smaller text, Long answer to give extra space to the answer.  This means that changing the display class can be done in one place rather than on all template items.
