Parameter list
This feature is part of the Visforms Subscription and not available in the free Visforms version..
We propose reading the documentation from the beginning, starting with the Introduction. We will not repeat concepts and explanations made in previous parts of the documentation, here.
In addtion to the two required parameters formid and fieldlist the plugin supports many other useful parameters to individually configure the data display in content. The following full parameter list summarieses any important information you require to use the plugin effectively.
You can retrieve the correct parameter name from the list as well as default values, allowed parameter values, a description of the parameters purpose and whether it is a required parameter or not. Some parameters, which already have a default value set, you can omit in the parameter string, unless you want to set a value, different from the default.
The column "function" will give you a more detailed description of what the parameter is used for.
