With Form Templates, you can customize the Form based on the users. Using the Employment Application Template, we can edit the HTML code to prevent applicants from editing the Salary, Employer's Comments, and Application Accepted regions. To edit the HTML code, export the Employment Application Template as described in Export a Form Template as HTML for Editing.

To add an HTML custom form view:

  1. Open the exported HTML file in an HTML editor, and locate the section of code pertaining to the Salary box:

    <TR> 
<TD CLASS="label" NOWRAP VALIGN="MIDDLE">&nbsp;Salary:&nbsp;
</TD> 
<TD NOWRAP> 
<INPUT CLASS="valueEditable"
TYPE="hidden" NAME="_1_1_5_1" TITLE="Salary" ID="_1_1_5_1" VALUE="[LL_FormTag_1_1_5_1 /]" SIZE="12"
MAXLENGTH="11" ONFOCUS="" ONCHANGE="markDirty();"> 
</TD> </TR>

  2. To prevent the Salary box from displaying, change its Input Type tag from TYPE="text" to TYPE="hidden".

  3. Locate the section of code pertaining to the Employer's Comments box:

    <TR> 
<TD CLASS="label" NOWRAP VALIGN="MIDDLE">&nbsp;Employer's Comments:&nbsp;
</TD> 
<TD NOWRAP> 
<INPUT CLASS="valueEditable" 
ID="_1_1_6_1" NAME="_1_1_6_1" TITLE="Employer's Comments" WRAP="soft" ROWS="3" COLS="32" 
ONFOCUS="" ONCHANGE="markDirty();">[LL_FormTag_1_1_6_1 /]>
</TD> </TR>

  4. To prevent the Employer's Comments box from displaying, change this code to:

    <TR> 
<TD CLASS="label" NOWRAP VALIGN="MIDDLE">&nbsp;Employer's Comments:&nbsp;
</TD> 
<TD NOWRAP> 
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" ID="_1_1_6_1" NAME="_1_1_6_1" VALUE="[LL_FormTag_1_1_6_1 /]"/></TD> </TR>

  5. Locate the section of code pertaining to the Application Accepted check box:

    <TR> 
<TD CLASS="label" NOWRAP VALIGN="MIDDLE">&nbsp;Application Accepted:&nbsp;
</TD> 
<TD NOWRAP> 
<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="_1_1_7_1" value="1"  ONCLICK="markDirty();">
</TD> </TR>

  6. To prevent the Application Accepted check box from displaying, change this code to:

    <TR> 
<TD CLASS="label" NOWRAP VALIGN="MIDDLE">&nbsp;Application Accepted:&nbsp;
</TD> 
<TD NOWRAP> 
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" ID="_1_1_7_1" NAME="_1_1_7_1" VALUE="[LL_FormTag_1_1_7_1 /]"/></TD> </TR>

  7. Save the modified file as Employment_Application_Template_Public.html and close the HTML editor.

  8. Now add the modified HTML file to the Employment Application Template as a custom view as described in Add an HTML Custom View. Name the view Public.
