Text

Name

Name that identifies the control. This value is also used for the label of the control.

XML Node

XML node mapped to the control. Use this value to map a list to a form and a form to a workflow.

• Prefix with @ to use the value of the control as an attribute with the immediate parent node. For example, @FirstName.

• Use / for a parent-child node configuration to uniquely identify a control in a form with multiple containers. For example, Employee/FirstName.

  The default value is the value for the Name property without the spaces.

Note:
- If you use / to denote a parent which is not a container and the parent is at the same level as that of the child, then the XML node for the control is not generated.
- If you edit this value later, then it might affect the mapping between forms, lists, and workflows.
