Elements in templates

Legacy elements

Text field

We recommended using blank inputs instead of the legacy text field.

Example of Legacy Text Field

A text field is a short area where you are prompted to enter some text.


Checkbox

We recommended using buttons instead of the legacy checkboxes.

Legacy Checkbox Example

A checkbox is a field that is optional.

When you check a checkbox, its text is included in the output note.

If a checkbox is left unchecked, its content won't be visible in your note.

In Dilato, checkboxes can also be in a negative check:

Negative Checkbox Example

When checked as a negative, the checkbox's content will be in your note but, unlike a regular check, Dilato will add the "no" prefix just before the text, to indicate its negativity. This prefix is customizable from the Settings.

To check a checkbox in the negative state, right-click the box.


Dropdown

We recommended using buttons instead of the legacy dropdowns.

Legacy Dropdown Example

A dropdown field is a list that contains options to choose from.

To view the list of choices, click on the dropdown. Then select the choice you wish to appear in your note.

Feel free to edit the selected choice if you need to.

If you don't want any of the choices to be displayed, you can leave the dropdown field empty.


Multi-Select Dropdown

We recommended using buttons instead of the legacy multi-select dropdowns.

Multi-Select Dropdown Example

A multi-select dropdown is a list similar to the dropdown above, with the extra ability to have multiple choices selected.

You can check as many options as you like. Multi-select dropdowns also support the negative check (right-click the boxes).
