Form fill-out area
The form fill-out area (under Evaluations/Assessments) is used for filling out forms.
The fields on the form are displayed or hidden, expanded, or collapsed, depending on their definition in the Form Designer. In addition, the fields you can view and the actions you can perform depend on your assigned privileges.
Collapsed Form Mode
If Collapsed Form Mode is enabled in your Interactions Preferences, form performance is improved in the form fill-out area. Forms load faster and are easier to navigate. When a form loads, only the first section and the first category in the section are expanded, regardless of the form’s definition in the Form Designer. All other sections and categories in the form are collapsed.
While working with the form, you can expand only one section and one category at a time. If you expand a section or category, another section or category is automatically collapsed. If you collapse a section and then expand it again, the category that was last expanded in that section is also expanded.
If you enable Collapsed Form Mode while a form is already loaded in the form fill-out area, the page is refreshed and the form is reloaded with the new setting applied.
