Entry Object Introduction

Canvas has two entry objects: the Text Entry and the Numeric Entry. Users are able to use these entries to input data into a tag. The Text Entry allows users to input text data into a tag, while the Numeric Entry allows users to input numerical data into a tag.

The Text Entry object allows users to input any alphanumeric and special characters into the field. To create a Text Entry object, click Insert > Text Entry, or the Insert Text Entry icon in the toolbar and click and drag on the page to bring up the Text Entry object.

The Text Entry can be customized based on specific properties.

To ensure the property windows are enabled, click View > Properties.

The Basic Properties section allows users to change the displayed content and the behavior of the object when it is interacted with.

The Appearance section enables the use of selections to alter visible characteristics.

The Position section provides adjustable properties that reshape or move the Text Entry object.

If the user presses Enter within a Text Entry, an action will run a script or command. This is controlled under the On Enter section of the Actions tab.

Permissions can be assigned to the Text Entry object through the Identity and Access Management feature.

The Numeric Entry object allows users to only input numerical data into the field. To create a Numeric Entry object, click Insert > Numeric Entry, or the Insert Numeric Entry icon in the toolbar and click and drag on the page to bring up the Numeric Entry object.
