Adding values to form fields (selection box, list box, checkbox)

When you select to create a custom field with a field type of radio button, drop-down menu, list box, or check box, you will need to add values from which the buyer selects. You can also set a value as the default selection and remove values as necessary.

To add field values:

  1. Add a field with a field type of radio button, drop-down menu, list box, or checkbox and click "Next".
  2. Enter a value in the "Field Value" field.
  3. Click the "Add" button.
    (The value you added appears in the list box; see figure 1.)
Figure 1: Page Configuration > Add Fields > Add Values.

  1. Repeat steps 2-3 for any additional choices you wish to appear in the field.
  2. Click "Finish".
  3. Click "Save" when finished or "Preview" to save and view your changes.
  4. Return to the Store Manager and publish your order settings to publish your changes to your checkout pages.

You can make a choice in your custom field the default selection. This choice will appear selected by default in the field.

To set a value as the default:

  1. On the "Field Values" page, select the value in the list box that you wish to make the default selection.
  2. Click the "Set as default" button.
    (An asterisk will appear next to the value selected as the default).
  3. Click "Finish".
  4. Click "Save" when finished or "Preview" to save and view your changes.
  5. Return to the Store Manager and publish your order settings to publish your changes to your checkout pages.

You can remove choices from your custom fields as well.

To remove a selection from a custom field:

  1. Go to the page in Checkout & Registration Manager with the field you wish to modify, select the field in the Page Sections table, and click "Edit".
  2. On the "Field Values" page, select the value in the list box that you wish to remove.
  3. Click the "Remove" button.
    (The field will be removed from the list).
  4. Click "Finish".
  5. Click "Save" when finished or "Preview" to save and view your changes.
  6. Return to the Store Manager and publish your order settings to publish your changes to your checkout pages.

Checkout & Registration Manager allows you to set validation rules for certain standard fields (name, address 1 & 2, email) and for custom fields. Validation rules can only be applied to text box field types where buyers enter information.

You can select from four different validation rules:
  • Disable: removes all validation of the field input
  • Email: checks input for valid email pattern; note this does not verify that the email entered exists or is genuine—only that it follows the standard email address pattern (X@X[dot]XX)
  • Number: checks that input is numerical
  • Number range: checks that input is numerical and between a stated range (for example 123 is between 0 and 200).

To enable validation rules:

  1. From the Checkout & Registration Manager, click the "Page Configuration" link.
  2. Click the tab with the field you wish to modify, select the field in the Page Sections table, and click "Edit".
  3. Click "Next".
  4. Select the validation rule you wish to apply:
    • Disable
    • Email
    • Number
    • Number range (you will also need to enter values for the range with this option)
  5. Click "Finish".
  6. Click "Save" when finished or "Preview" to save and view your changes.
  7. Return to the Store Manager and publish your order settings to publish your changes to your checkout pages.
