Options
The buttons available within the Rich Text Editor field as well as the colour of the editor can be controlled via Global Settings. The settings apply to all Rich Text Fields in SmartSimple.
Note
- Because of the additional encoding to support formatting, data stored in rich text fields is not suitable to be exported to Excel or used for MS Word merges.
- Having large numbers of these fields on a form is not recommended, as they cause additional load on the browser so will slow down page loading times and impact performance.
