View source for Add Item Attributes to the Design Pane

After you have specified the page setup for the data entry form template, you can begin adding item attributes/fields. 
To add attributes to the data entry form in the Data Entry Form Template Designer window: 
<ol>
<li>Expand the item folder that contains the attribute by double-clicking the folder name in the Elements pane.</li>
<li>Expand the data category that contains the item attribute.</li>
<li>Click the name of the attribute you would like to add to the data entry form.</li>
<li>While holding down the left mouse button, drag the attribute to the form design pane.</li>
<li>When the item attribute is in the desired position, release the mouse button.</li>
</ol>

{{Note|If you drag an item attribute to the design pane which has previously been added, the following message displays:
:At least one of the fields you dragged on to the template already exists in the template. You cannot add the same field more than once to the template.
Click the '''OK''' button. 
}}

<ol>
The element and its label are placed in the form design pane.
</ol>

{{note|You can also add all item attributes in a category to the data entry form by dragging it to the design pane. 
}}

<ol start="6">
<li>Repeat the above steps to add additional item attributes to the data entry form.</li>
</ol>

{{Warning | When item attributes are dragged to the design pane, they will use widgets for that data type. '''All''' parts of the widget should be present in the template in order to ensure that the widget will work for data entry. Although you can change properties and e.g. the label text. In the geographical widget you may delete the polyline/polygon table.}}

Depending on which data type the item attribute is and on the settings in the Data Inventory Manager the control / widget is different.

{{New_6.0 | It is possible to specify in the Data Inventory Manager if the text CDFs should be a Text Field or a Text Area in the template. It is not possible to switch between the two widgets in the Data Entry Form Template Designer. }}

As you add and delete item attributes to the form design pane, the Logical Tree pane is updated.

There are other types of elements than item attribute that may be added to the template. These are found in the Tool folder:
* [[Add an Image to the Data Entry Form Template | Icon]] e.g. logotypes
* [[Add a Line to the Data Entry Form Template | Line ]] e.g. as header and footer divider
* [[Add Text to the Data Entry Form Template | Text ]] e.g. template version number
