Adding these to the end of a field name will alter the way Aargh Software handles the field when importing it into Rent Manager.

DescriptionModifier to put after the keyword
This is for uploading photos and documents. If a field is named “-File”, then it needs to be followed by a URL link to the photo or document. That file is downloaded by Aargh and uploaded to Rent Manager through your API, and automatically attached to the service issue as a History/Note-File

For example “Photo-File”
If you have a field that appears on a form, but don’t want it to appear in the service issue description field, you would use the “-hide” modifier.-hide
By default all the information that is in the form submission will appear in the “Description” area of the service issue. You can make a field appear in the “Resolution” field of the service issue by using this modifier-resolution
Rent Manager “UDF” … a user defined field. If you want the form field to be mapped into a UDF field in the service issue, add “-udf” to the end of the unique name.

Use “_” to represent spaces in your unique field names on your form.

For Example, if you had a Rent Manager UDF in your service issues called “Charge Resident”, then your unique name for the field on your form should be:
“charge_resident-udf”

-udf

With these unique names and modifiers, you’ll be able to use web forms as the front-end to program a wide range of sophisticated processes and automatic triggering (depending on the forms platform you choose).
