Types of parameters for decision templates

The following sections detail the types of parameters available when creating a form for a decision template.

String template parameter

The following examples specify the template parameter syntax for including a string field on the form.

Parameter	Example
String template parameter	let infoParam = `[[More information \| string]]`
prepopulate value	let infoParam = `[[More information \| string \| rush delivery ]]`
Determine order, unrequired	let infoParam = `[[More information \| string \| rush delivery \| {order: 1, required: false } ]]`
Character limit	let infoParam = `[[More information \| string \| \| {max: 32 }]]`

The following examples specify the template parameter syntax for including a text field on the form.

Parameter	Example
Text template parameter	let DesParam = `[[Description \| text]]`
Determine order, unrequired	let DesParam = `[[Description \| text \| {order: 1, required: false } ]]`
Character limit	let DesParam = `[[Description \| text \| \| {max: 32 }]]`

Parameter

Example

Text template parameter

let DesParam = `[[Description | text]]`

Determine order, unrequired

let DesParam = `[[Description | text | {order: 1, required: false } ]]`

Character limit

let DesParam = `[[Description | text | | {max: 32 }]]`

The following examples specify the template parameter syntax for including a number field on the form.

Parameter	Example
Number template parameter	let TicketsParam = `[[Tickets \| number ]]`
Determine order, unrequired	let TicketsParam = `[[Tickets \| number \| {order: 1, required: false } ]]`

Parameter

Example

Number template parameter

let TicketsParam = `[[Tickets | number ]]`

Determine order, unrequired

let TicketsParam = `[[Tickets | number | {order: 1, required: false } ]]`

The following examples specify the template parameter syntax for including an enumerated list on the form.

Parameter	Example
Drop-down list template parameter	let fareParam = `[[Fare type \| enum(Any, Economy, Business, First) ]]`
Prepopulate value	let fareParam = `[[Fare type \| enum(Any, Economy, Business, First) \| Any \| { values: [Any, ECO, BUS, FIR] } ]]`
Determine order, unrequired	let fareParam = `[[Fare type \| enum(Any, Economy, Business, First) \| Any \| { values: [Any, ECO, BUS, FIR] } \| {order: 1, required: false }]]`

Parameter

Example

Drop-down list template parameter

let fareParam = `[[Fare type | enum(Any, Economy, Business, First) ]]`

Prepopulate value

let fareParam = `[[Fare type | enum(Any, Economy, Business, First) | Any | { values: [Any, ECO, BUS, FIR] } ]]`

Determine order, unrequired

let fareParam = `[[Fare type | enum(Any, Economy, Business, First) | Any | { values: [Any, ECO, BUS, FIR] } | {order: 1, required: false }]]`
