Email

Email is a single-line box that has to hold an email address. The respondent sees an @ mark in the empty box, and an address that is not well formed does not pass. It sits in the Contact Info group of the Add Content palette.

​

Settings

The card carries the settings every field shares. Email adds the same four a text field has.

• Placeholder, up to 255 characters, shown in the empty box.
• Minimum Length and Maximum Length, counted in characters.
• Validation Pattern, a regular expression the answer has to match, on top of the address check.

The message a respondent sees when the address is malformed sits under Validation in Languages and translations, as Invalid Email.

​

What it stores

Text, the address as the respondent typed it.

Logic operators

ends with is the useful one here. A rule reading if email ends with @yourcompany.com tells an internal respondent apart from an external one.

​

Evaluation

Switch Criteria, Scoring, or Skills on for the form in the Evaluation tab and each one gets a switch on this card. An address rarely says anything about a candidate, so most forms leave all three off here.
