Commands

Commands are pre-defined actions you can add to a form to make it easier for your users while they're filling out your form. You can place commands anywhere on your form, and can select from a list of pre-defined commands, below, that will be performed when the button is clicked in Formatta Filler.

Commands can be added to:

Action Buttons - Commands are added to Action Buttons by drawing a button using the Object Toolbar, then double-clicking to display the list of commands.
Form Objects - Commands are added to static form objects (such as text, boxes, polygons, freehand lines, ellipses, and pictures) using the HyperLink property of the object. Instead of entering "http://", commands are preceded by "cmd://".
Bubble Tips - Bubble Tips, also called Bubble Help, can have hyperlinks to URLs (e.g., http://www.yourwebsitehere) or commands (e.g., cmd://attachments).

Commands greatly speed up and simplify form filling and processing by automating a great variety of tasks.
