Step 2 – Search Form Configuration

• The Requests page includes a default search input field. Advanced Settings allows you to extend this functionality:

• Show in Search Form
  • Each field in your FormGent form can be configured to appear as a filter in the Requests page search.
  • Use the “Show in Search Form” metabox to enable this for any field.
  • Supported field types include:
    • Multi-choices Fields
    • Checkboxes
    • Radio buttons
    • Dropdowns

  • If you want to hide specific fields from the Requests page, use the “Don’t Show in Requests” metabox.

Step 3 – Show In Logs

• This section allows you to control which FormGent form fields are displayed in the Request Logs.
• Each checkbox corresponds to a field from the form. Only the fields that are checked here will appear in the logs for each request entry.

Step 4 – Request Page Lock Details

• The chosen fields will appear as locked on the frontend and cannot be edited by the user until the request availability is updated.
• Once the availability is updated, those fields can be unlocked or managed according to the system settings.
