Pages

The pages component is crucial in the form's JSON structure, organizing the form into individual pages, each with its own set of fields, actions, and navigation options.

Form pages

Structure of pages

Each page within the pages object is identified by a sequential key (usually a number) and contains various properties to define the page's content and interactive behavior.

Page Properties

submitobjectNoAn object defining the submit action of the page, including button text, triggers for form processing, and navigation steps.

JSON Example

Below is an example illustrating the pages component with various pages and their configurations:

{
"pages": {
"1": {
"name": "Project info",
"fields": [
{
"key": {
"id": "project_name",
"name": "Project Name",
"required": true,
"cftype_id": 307,
"defaultValue": "[project.cf1234]"
}
},
{
"key": {
"id": "project_number",
"name": "Project Number",
"required": false,
"cftype_id": 304,
"defaultValue": "[project.cf1235]"
}
}
],
"submit": {
"text": "Next"
},
"cancel": {
"text": "Cancel"
}
},
"2": {
"name": "Customer information",
"fields": [
{
"key": {
"id": "customer_name",
"name": "Customer Name",
"required": true,
"cftype_id": 305,
"defaultValue": "[customer.cf5678]"
}
},
{
"key": {
"id": "customer_contact",
"name": "Customer Contact",
"required": false,
"cftype_id": 306,
"defaultValue": "[customer.cf5679]"
}
}
],
"submit": {
"text": "Next"
},
"cancel": {
"text": "Back"
}
},
"3": {
"name": "Subtasks",
"fields": [
{
"key": {
"id": "subtask_name",
"name": "Subtask Name",
"required": true,
"cftype_id": 308,
"defaultValue": "[subtasks.cf6789]"
}
}
],
"submit": {
"text": "Finish",
},
"cancel": {
"text": "Back"
}
}
}
}

In this example:

  • Each page is uniquely identified (e.g., "1", "2", "3") and includes a name, an array of fields, and submit and cancel actions.
  • The fields array contains individual field configurations, including input fields and display elements.
  • The submit and cancel objects define the actions to be taken when these buttons are clicked, including any triggers, form processing logic, or navigation steps.
