To have the blue arrows deployed, configure settings in these domains: Prior to deploying the Blue Arrow functionality, you must prepare by configuring synchronization settings in the following domains: 

  • Forms (222)

  • FM M-to-M Converters (249or Forms M-to-M Converters (251

To have the Blue Arrows deployed for specific form fields, configure settings in these domains: 

  • Form Fields Groups (275)  

  • Form Fields Meta (255)  

Configure Forms (222)

Make sure all forms have been excluded from synchronization:

Configure FM M-to-M Converters (249)

...

Field mapping is defined using the M-to-M Converters domains. These domains control how data in fields from one domain correspond to fields in another domain. You can additionally configure data transformations for specific fields. There are two types of M-to-M Converters: FM (field mapping) and Forms. FM M-to-M Converters

...

apply to the same fields in all forms. Forms M-to-M Converters is a sub-set of mapping records specific to each form.

To set up dropdown prompts:

Configure Form Fields Meta (255) 

The Form Field Meta domain creates defines which PDF form fields will show the Blue Arrows positioning on the HTML 5 Page. The positioning by default is on the Full Name but you can easily modify or add the Blue Arrows to show on any field. Additionally, it configures the visual position of the arrow next to the field in the PDF viewer. The Form Fields Meta also displays a connection of the field with the Forms Field Groups; therefore, the mapping can be verified.
