Configuring the Sketch Field Type


Simply drag and drop a Sketch Field from the left-hand toolbar onto your Form page, then configure it using the right-hand properties panel.


Static Background


Upload a default image for use as the background for sketch drawing. This is useful for scenarios like marking out issues on technical diagrams, annotating floor plans, and other outline/blueprint-type images.



Dynamic Background


Define a calculation/formula that will dynamically populate an image into this field.



Is Personal Data


This indicates that data captured in this field may contain personal or sensitive information. When exported from the platform, this data can be anonymized.



Apply Watermark Text


In the Advanced Options section, a watermark can be configured.



This feature supports

  • Dynamically generated multi-lined text
  • Custom text color, size, and position
  • Watermark background color
  • Stroke outlined text


The text stamped on the sketch is driven by static text or formula or a combination of both (not just a data name reference), with options to customize the color of the text and the position it appears in the sketch.


When using a formula in a Text Builder, the formula needs to be wrapped in a single curly and round brace tag, {( )}.


Example

Formula to generate watermark:

Date: {( IMGDATE({{mediaField}}) )} {( '\n' )} GPS: {( FORMAT-GEO({{mediaField}}, 'DMS') )} 


Watermark Text displayed on the sketch:

Date: 2021-04-04T11:30:33+02:00

GPS: 27°42'55"S 29°46'43"E
