input_group

This element is used to insert personalized information, such as the respondent’s name or email, into the form. Input group is a purely layout element which is not processed by Aspose.OMR during the recognition.

Syntax

The element declaration begins with ?input_group=[name] statement and ends with &input_group statement. These statements must be placed on separate lines.

name property is used as a reminder of the element’s purpose; for example, “Skype”. This is an optional property - you can use the same name for multiple input groups or just omit it. The name is not displayed on the form.

An input group must contain 2 content elements:

• The first content element defines the label.
• The second content element defines the text in the field.

Attributes

The input_group element can be customized by adding optional attributes to it.

An attribute is written as [attribute_name]=[value]. Each attribute must be placed on a new line immediately after the opening ?input_group= statement or another attribute, and must begin with a tab character.
