Default Value

When this radio button is selected, an assigned value is displayed as the default answer. Users may change this answer if it is not relevant to them.

When configuring the assigned value, clicking the Browse icon opens the Default Value window, where you can create a dynamic text message by dragging and dropping predefined elements into the message.

Place Holder

When this radio button is selected, a preconfigured text (in gray font) is displayed to users, who then replace this text with their own answer. The placeholder text generally provides an example, or prompts users about how to respond.

When you select Custom Validation, clicking the Browse icon opens the Custom Regex dialog. In this dialog, you can define a custom regular expression with which data is compared and validated.

When you select Integration Point Validation, clicking the Browse icon opens the Integration Point Validation dialog. In this dialog, you can select an Integration Point to be used for validating the user's input.
