Each component of your form is defined by an item tag, for example ##contact##
. The item tags represent the reference code for each element and allows you to customize your reports and your e-mails.
First of all, some information about tags:
Each field has a "root" tag built on the field name: ##field_name##
. The root is not modifiable
Each tag can be completed by a "suffix": ##field_name:time##
for example
There cannot be 2 identical tags in the same form
They are used in custom Word documents, custom Excel documents and e-mails
You can also use them in the name of export files
It is always constructed in this way: ##field_name##
. There can be no spaces in a tag. Also, a _ is automatically inserted between each word.
Sometimes a suffix is added to a tag to personalise the information. For example: ##photo-100x100##
to define the dimensions of a photo.
To customize your Word, PDF, Excel files or your e-mails, you need to know the item tags of your element.
Click on the pencil ##date##
. You can note that the item tag always starts and end with ##.
NB: You can also use the example provided by Kizeo ( Option -> Export -> Add -> Word). The advantage of this example is that it includes all the item tags for your properly written form.
To go further in the customization, you can use these following tags. You can find this list at the end of the Information tab. /!\ The same typeface should be used for your tags (same colour, font and size).

: allows to display the line number; table1 corresponds to the tag id of the table.##field_id[n]##
: allows you to retrieve the entry of an element of a specified row (n) in a table. If you have a checkbox in your table, for example, and want to retrieve its value on line 3, you can now use the ##checkbox[3]##
tag. In order to retrieve the input of a multiple type element, you will need to organise your tag as follows: ##field_id[n]:y##, where n is the line number and y is the media number. For example, if you want to retrieve your 3rd drawing from line 2 of your table, you would use this tag: ##drawing[2]:3####field:caption##
: allows you to retrieve the title of a field.##_start_time##
: schedule - start date of the event##_end_time##
: schedule - end date of the event##element:n##
: element n
n is the number of the element. The numbering starts at 1.
If your user inserts 3 photos, you will have to indicate the following tags in your export file: ##photo:1##, ##photo:2##, ##photo:3##
.
Tip: You can use a table for a better presentation of your multiple elements.

map type. The following map types are available: roadmap
(the default road map view), satellite
(Google earth satellite images), hybrid
(a mixture of normal and satellite views) and terrain
(displays a physical map based on terrain information).The Photo, Signature, NFC Tag and Barcode fields can automatically capture geolocation when adding the photo if the 'Capture automatic location' option is enabled on the field. You can find the option in the Advanced tab of each of the above fields.
This geolocation can be displayed in your custom document. To do this, simply add the following tags to your export file: ##field_tag:latitude##
and ##field_tag:longitude##.
For example, using the ##photo_field:latitude##
and ##photo_field:longitude##
tags, you can display the geolocation when taking a photo for example on the Purchase Order form.
These fields can be tagged with the date and time the information was taken: ##field_tag:time##.
You can also combine this tag with the different date formats by adding :iso for example: ##field_tag:time:iso##.
Note: You need to check the "Take location automatically" box in your element options, Advanced tab.

##check_box:Yes:##
: check box is checked Yes in the color green.
##check_box:No:##
: check box is checked No in the color red.
The syntax to make ☑︎ or ☐ appear before various list or field choice items, depending on whether they are selected or not is ##list-Element:☑︎:☐##
. For example, you have a list containing the three following items: Train, Car and Airplane.
##list-Train:☑:☐##
: to make ☑︎ or ☐ appear depending on whether the element Train is selected or not.
##list-Car:☑:☐##
: to make ☑︎ or ☐ appear depending on whether the element Car is selected or not.
##list-Airplane:☑:☐##
: to make ☑︎ or ☐ appear depending on whether the element Airplane is selected or not.
/!\ If your list items are word groups, it is essential to define a Code to be able to use certain item tags.
For instance ( Code:item):
In our example, the syntax to make ☑︎ when the value = "Race car" will be: ##list-V:☑︎:☐##
For more details, you may consult our tutorial: List with code.
##list:code##
: to display the code in your reports.##list:label##
: allows you to force the label (the custom Excel displays the code by default)##list:☑:☐##
: to make ☑︎ or ☐ appear before various list, depending on whether they are selected or not.You can define the display color of each item. For example, you have a list containing the three following items (Code:Item): - T:Train - C:Car - A:Airplane
/!\ It is essential to define a code to be able to use this item tag. For more details, you may consult our tutorial: List with code. The following syntaxes will allow you to set a color for each item:
##list-T:Train:##
: if you want the Train item to appear in green when selected.##list-C:Car:##
: if you want the Car item to appear in red when selected.##list-A:Airplane:##
: if you want the Airplane item to appear in blue when selected.You can also display Unicode characters as a response. The Unicode Table site offers you the characters that are compatible with our system.
Important information: On Mac, for these images to be displayed in your report, the corresponding tag must be in a particular font which is "MS Reference Sans Serif".
Otherwise, they work correctly on PC, and on PDF on Mac.
The syntax to make it appear ✈︎ when the value = Airplane:
Category: ##list-Aircraft:✈︎:##
You can use the following item tags with a list or choice field.
##list:break##
and ##choice:break##
: allow you to duplicate the row and maintain the chip format used.
##list:break##
and ##choice:break##
: allow you to duplicate the row and maintain the chip format used. ##list:unordered##
and ##choice:unordered##

: allow you to have your list or choice field in numerical order.
Display of your Hierarchical Lists path:
You want to display all or part of your Hierarchical list's path in your custom-made Word/PDF or Excel report, the following tags allow you to do so:
As an example, let's take the following hierarchical list:
FR-fr:France\83:Var\83700:Saint-Raphaël
##list:path##
In our example, « France / Var » will be displayed on the Word/PDF report.
In our example, « FR-fr / 83 » will be displayed on the Excel report.
##list:fullpath##
« France / Var / Saint-Raphaël » will be displayed on the Word/PDF report.
« FR-fr / 83 / 83700 » will be displayed on the Excel report.
##list:path-1##
, ##list:path-2##
, etc…In your Word/PDF report:
##list:path-1##
will display « France »,##list:path-2##
will display « Var ».##list:path-1##
will display « FR-fr »,##list:path-2##
will display « 83 ».##list:pathcode-1##
/ ##list:fullpathcode##
##list:pathlabel-1##
/ ##list:fullpathlabel##
Display or delation of a table or a block of paragraph with the block tag:
/i\ It is only available in the custom-made Word/PDF. General rules:
Configurations: If a field is empty (no mobile entry) or invisible (due to visibility conditions), you can choose to delete an entire part in your Word document or table with the block tag.
##_block:field##
Make part of the Word document disappear.
##_block:field##
For instance: You have a table in your form. You do not want it to appear in you Word document if it is not completed during mobile or tablet entry. You must build your block tag in two parts, one before the table, to make it disappear if empty, and one, after this same table to frame it.
##_block:table##
Make part of the Word document disappear.
##_block:table##
Display of a block of paragraph in your custom Word document determined by a condition:
The block tag allows you to determine the visibility of a table or a block of paragraphs in you Word document based on the results of a list or choice field.
/!\ It is essential to define a code to be able to use this item tag. For more details, you may consult our tutorial: List with code.
Configurations:
##_block:list-Code##
Make part of the Word document appear.
##_block:list-Code##
If an other element will be entered, the block of paragraph will disappear.
For example: You have a list with code containing these following items (Code:Item):
You want your block of paragraphs in your Word document to appear only if you have entered "Red" in your list. You must build your block tag in the following manner:
##_block:list-R##
Make part of the Word document appear.
##_block:list-R##
Display of a table or a block of paragraph determined by a field check box:
You want your block of paragraphs or table in you Word document to appear only if you have checked Yes in the check box. You must build you Block tag in the following manner:
##_block:check_box##(/code)
Make part of the Word document appear.
##_block:check_box##(/code)
You want your block of paragraphs or table in your Word document to appear only if you have checked No in the check box. You must build your Block tag in the following manner:
##_block:check_box-0##
(-zero)
Make part of the Word document appear.
##_block:check_box-0##
(-zero)
Note: It does not work in the header of the Word document.
